Is there a newgroup where environmental issues and recent news and policy is discussed? If not, how do we start one?

There doesn't seem to be currently, but we could start one. Put out a request for votes. I suggest sci.environ or something similar. aem -- a.e.mossberg - aem@mthvax.miami.edu - aem@mthvax.span (3.91) Written laws are like spider's webs, and will like them only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful easily break through them.

The standard way is to pick a newsgroup that's close enough and start talking. If the traffic picks up to the point that you really need a newsgroup of your own (wait a month or two) then take votes by mail. You can read more details in news.announce.newusers and such places. Some potentially appropriate newsgroups would be misc.headlines ## for current issues sci.misc ## always safe bionet.sci-resources ## check the official description, ## and not everyone gets bionet. talk.politics.misc ## -- #Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G218 Holmdel NJ 201-949-0705 ho95c.att.com!wcs # Now I don't mean to insult the intelligence of the younger people here, # but you really shouldn't try fire-eating on your own.

bionet.sci-resources is for discussions involving funding of projects involving molecular biology. It probably isn't the appropriate place for a discussion on ecological issues. This is not to say that such discussions aren't important, of course. sci.misc seems your best bet. -- Eliot Lear [lear@net.bio.net]

Bill, I'm glad to see your interest in finding a forum to discuss environmental issues - I too have been looking for one. Until a newsgroup specifically devoted to the environment is created, I plan to read and post to sci.misc.

Perhaps this is what you want?

A new newsgroup 'popped up' (at least on my end.....) ca.environment. I would like to see the name changed to sci.environment. (or at least see about obtaining a group for the environment....)
