Response is the place for you. Each of their monthly Global
Response Action (GRAction) newsletter highlights a specific
environmental emergency. The GRAction provides background
information on the environmental threat, recommends actions to
take, and gives the names and addresses of the corporations or
governments responsible. Their Eco-Club
Action newsletter is written for use by high school eco-clubs, neighborhood
environmental groups, and other "Earth-friendly" youth
organizations. Global
Response's Young Environmentalists' Actions (YEA) network was
created because young students wanted a chance to make a
difference in the Earth's future. Their YEA network proves that
polite letters form thousands of concerned young people from
around the world can help stop environmental destruction! Global
Response's on-line Quick Response Network (QRN) alerts
members to emerging situations involving environmental activists
around the world. When Global Response learns of activists who
are being harassed, threatened, attacked or killed, Emergency
Actions are sent to members by e-mail asking them to write
letters or send e-mail messages or send faxes to authorities who
can intervene to protect the lives, safety and human rights of
environmental activists.

wise enough not to destroy. They are a great resource of recent Eco-news. Learn
