The conversations re compost were enlightening, especially the
message 73. For those who are interested, please see the August
1980 issue of National Geographic for a biologic description of
the inhabitants of a compost heap- it is a memorable article.
I joined this conference for two reasons: I am a member of CPPNW
and have an interest in Our Common Future from the perspective of
the issues of nuclear war building, and nuclear uses; as well, I
am working on a workshop on Our Common Future for a Soroptimist
Conference in May and am interested in good material. In
particular I am looking for sources of good information for a
bibliography, not just in recycling, but in all the areas of
environmental concern.
I would also like to comment on plepp and his difficulty with
this conference. He disliked the attitude of "ecological
vengeance". I agree with that dislike wholeheartedly. Yet, there
is some good material in this conference. The best material is in
the process of discussion, but I would plead for the next step
which is negotiation, and which occurs before compromise can be
reached.
I think that the techniques of conflict resolution would
aid in this process. There is a good literature on conflict
resolution. The reference for a source list of books is to be
found in the conference cppnw.books.

the worse for that
