We have communicated previously through either your subscription to Sustainability Review or our general discussion concerning issues of sustainable development. If this isn't the case, a colleague might also have told me of your interest in this subject. I'd like to alert you to major revisions in the web site of Five E's Unlimited at http://www.eeeee.net. By bookmarking this site you will find a "virtual library" at your finger tips on the many elements of SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. The site offers hundreds of searchable resources to help communities, businesses, educators, researchers, policy makers, environmental managers, legislators, and households make better decisions. As our testimonials demonstrate, this site also serves as an excellent electronic reference in high school and college classrooms where students are encouraged to learn how science, society, and economics, as well as ethics and morality, influence our multi-dimensional lives. Our hundred's of information pages include discussion of, population, climate, energy, natural resource use, coastal planning and management, human-nature linkages, biodiversity, watershed protection, technology, sustainable agriculture, safe water supplies, waste management, community development, transportation, green building, economic revitalization, consumerism, sustainable cities, international security, politics, smart rural development, education, family relations, human values, etc. These are the things we all find ourselves talking about today. Actually these are the exact things that sustainable development tries to harmoniously improve. Individual actions of people, from every walk of life and from every means, are the things that will either advance global sustainable development or stop it in its tracks. Bringing awareness and understanding to people who can make the right choices in their lives, while motivating governments in ways that will positively affect the future, is the key. Part of the Five E's web site's purpose is to offer the public service of circulating and promoting the most current ideas, tools, and success stories involving people, places, and organizations attempting to achieve sustainability. Our site on sustainability is not the biggest or most expensive, but many find it extremely helpful. Besides offering hundreds of information pages, it tells a little about who we are, our values, what we aspire to, and how we might help others. So if you would like a good place to start framing a better understanding for sustainability, then try www.eeeee.net -- and if you like what you see and you'd like some help with your particular sustainability challenge, CONTACT US. Consider the following, and if it "grabs you," check out our site. "We trust water to be pure, air to be safe, food to make us healthy, and our lives to be secure. We make sure our child is nurtured, educated, and given all the chances for a good life. Tragedy occurs! A child dies of leukemia from drinking contaminated water or is killed in a school shooting. Can these circumstances be avoided?" Absolutely yes! But instead of getting involved, it is easier and less threatening for people to evade the difficulty of understanding connections between having a secure economy, a healthy environment, and societal well-being, even though many of these seemingly isolated problems are very much intertwined. The information at http://www.eeeee.net will move you beyond these societal circumstances. Please share this information with others. Best Regards, Dr. R. Warren Flint Five E's Unlimited PO Box 311 Pungoteague, VA 23422 (757)442-5588 http://www.eeeee.net SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT is an intervention that allows us to simultaneously consider the multiple issues related to health of the environment, survival of all life, and the socio-economic well being of humans. The Five E's site presents an easy to understand description of sustainability -- the ability of humans to coexist in a manner that maintains wildlife, wildlands, and decent environments simultaneously with economic well-being and equality, today and for future generations. Ideas and concepts are presented in a way that decodes, de-mystifies, and puts into understandable terms the many elements of sustainable development. -- Leftlink - Australia's Broad Left Mailing List mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archived at http://www.cat.org.au/lists/leftlink/ Sponsored by Melbourne's New International Bookshop Subscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=subscribe%20leftlink Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?Body=unsubscribe%20leftlink
