----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ------------------ I would like to draw your attention to Environment97, the world's first environmental conference to take place entirely on the Internet, at: www.environment97.org The conference takes a broad look at environmental issues. Papers range from global issues (eg. Climatic change) through environmental philosophy (Can = the US be sustained?, Is sustainable development compatible with the free market?) = to toolkits and techniques (Life cycle assessment, Environmental impact assessment). All of the information is free of charge, and unlike most international environmental conferences, Environment97 will not add to the problem. A brief overview: =7E 150 technical and general papers =7E Discussion groups for each keynote paper =7E Downloadable images of environmental bad practice =7E Life cycle assessment comparing an internet conference with a real = conference =7E Chat bar - talk to your colleagues around the world We look forward to 'meeting' you at environment97 John Duffy Marketing Manager - Environment97
