Environmental Defense is noted for its rigorous
scientific approach and has more Ph.D. scientists and
economists on staff than any other similar organization.
Through our program areas, we bring together experts in
science, law and economics to tackle complex
environmental issues and develop sound solutions. We
concentrate on the most urgent issues where our expertise
can produce the greatest impact.

place in cyberspace for Biology teaching and
learning.Access Excellence, launched in 1993, is a
national educational program that provides high school
biology and life science teachers access to their
colleagues, scientists, and critical sources of new
scientific information via the World Wide Web. The
program was originally developed and launched by
Genentech Inc., a leading biotechnology company that
discovers, develops, manufactures and markets human
pharmaceuticals for significant unmet medical
needs.
CalFlora exists to
provide information on California plant biodiversity for
conservation, research, and education.

DICTIONARY of
EDUCATION Pedagogical Language Usage Server The
Dictionary of Education is a usage-based dictionary
designed to make the vocabulary of educational
researchers accessible to others. Its aim is to penetrate
and illuminate the world of educational research and
theory by explaining what people who publish articles in
their fields mean when they use certain words and
phrases.

The mission of the
NOAA Library and Information Services (LISD) is to ensure
the delivery of scientific, technical, and legislative
information to users. The library's users include NOAA
staff, general public, academia, industry, and other
government agencies. The principal resource for
accomplishing this mission is a research collection with
a comprehensive coverage of: hydrographic surveying (from
1820) oceanography, meteorology, and hydrology (from
1870) living marine resources (from 1970 with selected
coverage from 1870), and meteorological satellite
applications (from 1960).

population and community ecology
The
society of Population Ecology was founded in 1961 for the
purpose of promoting and fostering the study of
population ecology. Now the activities of both the
society and its publication cover broader aspects of
population ecology and population biology, in both basic
and applied fields. Membership is open to
personsinterested in population ecology and related
fields of the biological sciences.

case studies relevant to the Pacific Northwest
Green Construction - Case Studies
The
information contained in this document comes from a
literature search of pollution prevention information for
machine shops, a roundtable meeting that was held on July
29, 1999 by the Washington State Department of Ecology's
Hazardous Waste and Toxics Reduction (WADOE) program and
a document titled "Metal Machining Sector - Pollution
Prevention Assessment and Guidance" (publication #99-412)
by the WADOE. The Pacific Northwest Pollution Prevention
Resource Center (PPRC) developed this sector-specific
"living document" to keep industry representatives and
technical assistance providers apprised of pollution
prevention technologies and regulatory issues. This
approach was chosen because state and federal laws
pertaining to this industry, expert contacts, and
pollution prevention technologies frequently change. The
resulting product, this online "living document",
includes information about current regulatory issues, P2
technologies, innovative research activities, case
studies and vendors of P2 equipment.
