E-M:/ September Earth Net Newsletter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enviro-Mich message from "Molly Cole" <COLE@maelstrom.cc.wmich.edu>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
He folks,
This isn't as pretty when I copy it into e-mail but what follows is a
portion of the September issue of the Earth Net newsletter. The Earth Net
Newsletter is a publication that the Environmental Studies Program at
Western Michigan Universtiy, with the help of student interns, has been
putting out on paper for over 10 years. For those of you who normally get
it in the mail, sorry, this is all I managed to get out to you for
September. My new students just started last week. For anyone else who has
not received the newsletter, it primarily focuses on SW Michigan events but
also includes things I think are interesting or useful enough that people
might travel farther.
If you are interested in receiving a snail mail copy each month send me
your name and address. If I don't get too many requests I'll add you to the
mailing list. There is no charge but donations are welcomed. There should
also be a version on the web. I'll send out a notice with the web site as
soon as the October issue is done. If you have items you would like added
to future issues please pass them along. I hope you don't find too many
mistakes and that you find it useful.
