- "Essentially, we are the world's alternative to the pervasive agency-
and industry-sponsored supplemental environmental education. We maintain
that instructional programs aimed at helping people live more lightly
on the earth are just as important as programs in math and science, or
history and language. As we like to put it, we represent the fourth 'r'
-- readin', ritin', 'rithmetic and relationship -- for it's our relationship
with the earth and its natural systems and communities that must change
if we are to enjoy a biotically rich and healthy planet in the future."

particularly in the Columbia and Snake Rivers, where damming for generation
of hydroelectric power is threatening the wild population. It has an excellent
library of information, including "hundreds of reports, briefers,
press releases and other documents relating to the science, economics,
energy of Columbia & Snake River salmon recovery." It also has
information about actions that can be taken to help save the salmon, including
how to contact governmental representatives, inform other citizens, and
