News but no paper
For people who want to keep up with environmental
news but don't want to drown in a sea of paper, Green Disk offers a
wealth of information without filling up the mailbox or the local
landfill. The Green Disk: Paperless Environmental Journal comes on
a computer diskette in Mac or DOS format. Included in the
December-January diskette is information about EcoNet, the
Institute for Global Communication's computer network, along with
listings of environmental electronic bulletin board services and
tips for practicing "green" computing. Each issue of the green Disk
contains an index to recently published environmental literature,
as well as the full text of Sierra Club's National News Report and
Smithsonian's Biological Conservation Newsletter. Other features
include listings of upcoming meetings and conferences, college
programs in environmental studies, job openings and press releases
from environmental organizations. Subscriptions cost $35 per year
for six issues. Back issues are available for $5 each. For more
information, contact The Green Disk, P.O. Box 3224, Washington, DC
20007 (202/337-4175).
