Subject: environmental writing resources
I wanted to post this list that I put together in conjunction with the query I made about environmental writing several weeks ago. It's pretty dry - people did send more lively descriptions of their own work in environmental writing, job postings, etc., but they were hard to boil down for something like this. If anyone's extremely interested in the postings themselves, let me know and I'll forward them to you (I think some were posted to the whole list anyway, but perhaps some were not).
