Just a question for the group, now that mark brings it up: I'm in the local chapter of TU and work with the local DEP to improve streams and rivers damaged from strip-mining... but what should one do for places "far off"? An example is I live near Philadelphia (generally) but wish to help other areas also - especially as the Philadelphia area is not as keen on "environment" over "industry". What can be done by someone in my geographic locale to help far- off places (ie North Carolina's mountains, just as an example)? Also, what can be done when you're fighting a loosing battle with the local majority?
Just thinking, is all. Tight wraps, Pete

Pete, go to the National TU web-site and have a good look around, and then
do the same at the FFF web-site. www.TU.org and www.fedflyfisher.org there's
actually all kinds of things you can do, besides just giving money. One
thing we do each year is give to the Embrace-a-stream project at TU. You get
a good book outta-the-deal each year that way as well. That's at the $50
level. Even better "gifts" for a higher contribution. The companies that
donate the gifts just write it off their taxes, and are glad to do it. Gives
them the right profile in the publics eye. You do something good and get an
immediate payback. Win, win situation. Just one examaple. mark....
