new Website - request for info
Hello again,
I am a software engineer by day (when employed) and an activist and
unpaid
environmental consultant so I can sleep at
night. During the time that I have been "between contracts" I have
begun to set up
a new website called Toxic Alert which digests much of
the great work of CCHW,
Greenpeace, and others into 2-page documents
that can be used by
grassroots community groups,
and provides information about wastesites, nuclear plants, and health that
I believe is
unique. The URL is http://www.cqs.com.
One aspect of the site is a list of grassroots organizations and phone
numbers for
people who are looking for community groups, or people in
one community with
a problem can look to see if there is another group in
another community working
on the same problem. One of the ways that
the chem industry/gov complex continues
their business-as-usual pattern
is that people think they are isolated, and my hope
is that this site would
help reduce this isolation.
So, to make a long-winded explanation short, I'm looking for organizations
that would
be willing to have their phone number or email address or both
placed in the page
of community organizations. Obviously, *anyone* can
look at the site, so it would mean
that people who do not share our views
would also have access to the information.
(This is true as well of this listserv and any other public forum on the
Internet...)
And it might possibly be a source of extra electronic junk mail,
as happens anytime
an email address is posted anywhere.
That said, I think the advantages outweigh the
possible disadvantages, and would appreciate having the opportunity
to list your organization on the Website. If you'd like to include a short
mission
statement, I'll publish that as well with a link to it. If your
organization has a URL,
I'll put in the link to it.
Please send mail to me, jon@cqs.com
Thanks
Jon Campbell
