Article request - Towards a Sustainable Future
Over the decades, there have been many significant books and reports published detailing mankind's negative impacts on the environment.
Today, of course, we are still battling to get our national governments to accept responsibility to do some constructive about global warming, all forms of pollution, biodiversity loss, threatened species, etc.
I invite you to write an article for publication in a future edition of our monthly e:newsletter based on the comments above and the information below.
Regards,
Frank Ondrus, President - Householders' Options to Protect the Environment (HOPE) Inc. (Australia)
