THE FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS--WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH IT?  ARE YOU 
WILLING TO WORK FOR A BETTER WORLD?

This message contains information on how you can take one small 
step toward a brighter future for us all.

First, some background information:  On Friday, October 13, 1995, 
the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced their decision to award 
the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize to Professor Joseph Rotblat and the 
Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs for their efforts 
to "diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international 
politics and in the longer run to eliminate such arms." 

In celebration of this honor, Student Pugwash USA (SPUSA) has 
initiated an exciting and historic movement to get a "million for 
the millennium"--promises from one million students and young 
professionals illustrating their commitment to the responsible use 
of science and technology in the 21st century.  Through electronic 
means, this has become a global initiative!  Student Pugwash will 
present these pledges to Professor Rotblat in conjunction with the 
Nobel Ceremony on December 10, 1995.

"So what does this pledge say?" you are asking.  Here is the text:

> ------------------------------------------------------------------
> ------------------------------------------------------------------
"I promise to work for a better world where science and technology 
are used in socially responsible ways.  I will not use my 
education for any purpose intended to harm human beings or the 
environment.  Throughout my career, I will consider the ethical 
implications of my work before I take action.  While the demands 
placed upon me may be great, I sign this declaration because I 
recognize that individual responsibility is the first step on the 
path to peace."
> ------------------------------------------------------------------

Jo par szammal ezelott erdeklodott Diana a Mo-i kornyezeti tudatrol. 
Irtam is egy par dolgot, de valahol elveszhettek a halozat utvesztoiben 
mert nem lattam okat viszont a Kornyeszben, igy hat ismet pennat 
(billentyuzetet) ragadok. Ha ne adj Isten valakihez megis eljutott volna 
az elozo irasom, akkor attol elnezest kerek az ismetlesekert. Szoval a 
kornyezttudomany allapota Mo-n eleg siralmas. Az egyes tarsadalmi retegek 
kozott vannak kulonbsegek: az atlgembert egyszeruen nem erdekli a kerdes 
van jobb dolga is annal (hogy fizeti ki a szamlait, mibol megy nyaralni 
stb.). Van ezenkivul egyfajta kozombosseg is, ami meg egyfajta szoc. 
csokeveny lehet: ha nem erzem, hogy a dolgok az enyemek - en rendelkezem 
veluk, akkor minek torodnek veluk. Ez az "allamot atverni dicserendo 
cselekedet" (legyen szo adocsalasrol, illegalis szemetlerakasrol stb.) 
meg egy jo darabig nem fog kihalni kozulunk. 
	Az ertelmiseg eseteben tobb dolog is kozre jatszik. Eloszor is 
neki is vannak nagyobb gondjai mint pl. a Duna szennyezettsege. Masreszt 
valoban erzheto a kornyezettudomany egyfajta lenezese, ennek tobb oka is 
lehet. Ez egyik talan, hogy mivel manapsag a kornyezetvedelem divatos 
jelszo, ezert az embernek (ha novelni akarja a penzszerzesi eselyeit) 
minden palyazataba (OTKA stb.) celszeru valamilyen modon belekeverni a 
kornyezetvedelmet (akar erdekli, akar nem). Ez valahogy komolytalanna 
teszi a dolgot. A masik problema, hogy sok kornyezettudomannyal foglalkozo 
publikacio dolgozik talan nem kellokeppen definialt parameterekkel (ld. 
Juhos Szilveszter megjegyzeset jo par szammal ezelott) es ezekbol aztan 
mindenfele eredmenyt ki lehet hozni. (Senki ne vegye szemelyes sertesnek 
a dolgot). A kornyezet eszmeletlenul bonyolult rendszer, mi sem konnyebb: 
definialjunk valami homalyos parametert, modellezzunk es kesz a 
publikacio. Sajat velemenyem szerint sokkal nagyobb szellemi erofeszites 
kell egy relativisztikus kvantumelektrodinamikai cikk megirasahoz, mint 
egy kornyezettudomanyihoz.(Most lehet loni, bar hozzateszem, hogy jelenleg 
en sem fizikaval foglalkozom.) Egy tovabbi tenyezo, hogy pont 
azert mert ez most nyugaton kurrens tema - rengeteg penz aramlik az ilyen 
kutatasokba (akar van azoknak ertelmuk, akar nem) es sokan anyagi 
megfontolasok miatt (tobb allas stb.) valasztjak ezt a teruletet. 
	A fennti megjegyzesekkel korantsem akarom azt mondani, hogy a 
kornyezettudomanynak ne lenne ertelme csak nehany kritikai megjegyzest 
szerettem volna tenni. (Egyebkent jomagam foglalkoztam 
kornyezettudomannyal kapcsolatos kutatassal es valoszinuleg fogok is meg.)

Kedves kornyeszek!
Vegyeszkent orommel kapcsolodom be a magyar kornyezetvedelmi

AN EARLY MORNING CONVERSATION WITH GANDHI

This morning before daylight my radio clicked on and I heard, through a sleepy
haze, that Congress has passed and the president has signed a little-noticed
edict permitting the export of Alaskan oil.

I pulled the covers over my ears. The oil industry wins again, I thought.  The
export ban was passed in the 1970s to prolong the life of our domestic
reserves.  There is, of course, much less oil under Alaska now than there was
then.  After decades of pumping our oil production is sliding downward.  So we
decide to export.  Why?  So oil companies can make money faster in the very
short term.

I had nearly dozed off again when the radio reported that Congress and the
president have cut the royalties that companies pay the nation for oil from the
continental shelf.

That woke me up.  Those lobbyists never sleep, I fumed.  This Congress knows no
shame when it comes to cutting services to the weak and taxes of the powerful. 
And this president will sign just about anything.  It's hard, waking up every
morning to news that makes my soul sick.  Especially when I have fallen asleep,
as I have been doing lately, to the soul-stirring writings of Mohandas K.
Gandhi.

"Most people do not understand the complicated machinery of the government,"
said Gandhi.  "They do not realize every citizen silently but none the less
certainly sustains the government of the day in ways of which he has no
knowledge.  Every citizen therefore renders himself responsible for every act
of his government.  And it is quite proper to support it so long as the actions
of the government are bearable.  But when they hurt him and his nation it
becomes his duty to withdraw his support."

The actions of my government are not bearable.  They devastate our natural
resources and deprive our people.  The politicians speak piously while
practicing greed and divisiveness.  They care nothing for the nation.  I want
to do more than withdraw my support from them.  I want to tar and feather 
them.

"Man and his deed are two distinct things.  Whereas a good deed should call
forth approbation and a wicked deed disapprobation, the doer of the deed,
whether good or wicked, always deserves respect or pity, as the case may be. 
'Hate the sin and not the sinner' is a precept which, though easy enough to
understand, is rarely practiced, and that is why the poison of hatred spreads
in the world."

It has spread to me.  I hate those power-mad cynics.

"By a long course of prayerful discipline, I have ceased for over forty years
to hate anybody....  but I can and do hate evil wherever it exists.  I hate 
the system of Government the British people have set up in India.  I hate the
domineering manner of Englishmen as a class in India.  I hate the ruthless
exploitation of India, even as I hate from the bottom of my heart the hideous
system of untouchability for which millions of Hindus have made themselves
responsible.  But I do not hate the domineering Englishmen, as I refuse 
to hate the domineering Hindus.  I seek to reform them in all the loving 
ways that are open to me.  My non-cooperation has its root not in hatred, but 
in love."

Love.

It seems such a frail force, given the enormous power of the government and the
money-crazed system that supports it.  How can I love shameless exploiters --
and what good would it do if I did? 

"The law of love governs the world.  Life persists in the face of death.  The
universe continues in spite of destruction incessantly going on.  Truth
triumphs over untruth.  Love conquers hate."

Say that again please, Mahatma.  Say it stronger.  Love and truth seem so
absent from this world.  I long for them, but I need to have my faith 
restored.

"The more efficient a force is, the more silent and the more subtle it 
is. Love is the subtlest force in the world.... Power is of two kinds.  One is
obtained by the fear of punishment, and the other by acts of love.  Power based
on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived
from fear of punishment."

Yes, but you're a saint.  You can summon love in the presence of fear and
anger.  I don't know how you do it.

"I am as frail a mortal as any of us and I never had anything extraordinary
about me nor have any now.  I claim to be a simple individual liable to err
like any other fellow mortal.  I own, however, that I have humility enough in
me to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.  I own that I have an
immovable faith in God and His goodness and an unconsumable passion for truth
and love.  But is that not what every person has latent in him?"

Or her, dear Mahatma.  The language has changed since your time to include us
women too.  I think you'd approve of that.  But you would be so saddened at the
way the rich heap up wealth to hide their fear, and the leaders scorn the poor,
and the people trample over nature and each other in a hectic rush for excess,
rather than rejoicing in enough.

"You must not lose faith in humanity.  If a few drops are dirty, the ocean does
not become dirty....  Each of us should turn the searchlight inward and purify
his or her heart as much as possible....  No one need wait for anyone else 
to adopt a humane and enlightened course of action.  Men [oh, sorry, now you 
would say people] generally hesitate to make a beginning if they feel that the
objective cannot be achieved in its entirety.  It is precisely this attitude 
of mind that is the greatest obstacle to progress -- an obstacle that each
[person], if [he or she] only wills it, can clear away, and so influence
others."

"To believe that what has not occurred in history will not occur at all 
is to argue disbelief in the dignity of [humanity]."

(Donella H. Meadows is an adjunct professor of environmental studies at
Dartmouth College.)

2nd International
 INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE ON THE ENVIRONMENT
 ***********************************************

      NEWPORT, Rhode Island, USA, June 15-20, 1996

      CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS (DEADLINE: February 28, 1996)

  The Interdisciplinary Environmental Association (IEA), in conjunction
  with Assumption College, invites you to participate in the 2nd 
International
  INTERDISCIPLINARY CONFERENCE ON THE ENVIRONMENT!

  The conference is motivated by the increasing need to combine ideas and
  research findings from different disciplines to enhance our understanding
  of the interactions between the natural environment and human 
institutions.

  The Conference is aimed at the educated layperson and FOCUSES on:
     (I)  What do all disciplines have to offer with respect to 
environmental
          and resource problems;
     (II) What are the implications of the globalization of environmental
          concerns for all life on planet Earth.

  This year's THEMES are:
          Education and Technology.

  The conference welcomes practitioners and it is open to everyone 
regardless
  of background. Participants may organize sessions (please ask for "Session
  Organizer Guidelines"), present papers, chair sessions, discuss papers,
  or simply observe.

  To facilitate communication, authors should make an effort to write
  their papers for readers outside their disciplines. All papers will pass
  a peer review process prior to presentation and publication in the
  Conference Proceedings. With your help we hope to disseminate the
  Conference Proceedings around the world to libraries, legislators,
  governmental agencies, and nongovernmental organizations.

  The program will consist of small concurrent seminar - type sessions with:
  chairperson, three presenters, and at least one discussant assigned to
  comment on each paper. (Other formats for workshops or panels will be 
used.)
  Time allocated for each session is one hour and 45 minutes. Additionally,
