Hi!

The web can be a rich source of information. The amount of material available here could bury you in a minute. I have some useful sites that you might want to try when looking for environmental information. Some of the sites are quite specifically dedicated to environmental issues. Other sites are more general. Try them out. You will find your own favorites.
