Page 6 EEC Responses to Rain have been very encouraging. The first issue was distributed to 3,000 people. At least 75 people responded by letter or phone in the be.st way possible: by contributing information. As the SHARE program develops we will try to develop readership response, in order that we can put people in touch with one another, and with helpful information. ~ ENVIRONMENTAL FIELD TRIPS I am currently designing for the Environmental Education Center, a list of field trips which will help sensitize young people to the idea of man's interrelationship with nature. The proposed age group these trips would be designed for would be grades 6-12. Concept areas I hope to cover would include: Clean air, levels of the biosphere, auto emissions, factories, industry, pollution control, inspection of rivers, lakes, sewage outfalls, fish and other aquatic life, dams and their effects, finiteness, recycling, the dump, the biological food chain, the effects of DDT and other pesticides, wildlife and their needs, endangered species and why, a look at the land, man's use of the land, erosion and its effects on rivers, fish, and the quality of soil, BLM, LCDC, OCCDC, the forest and effects of clear cutting, vegetation types and roles in the forest, Forest SeiVice, the concept of growth, freeways and their effects, invitations to growth (sewer lines, new housing) DEQ, CRAG, historic landmarks and their significance. -Nancy Randall ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION IN OREGON Last March, EEC volunteer Olivia Froebe completed a suiVey of environmental education in Oregon. These are some results: • 36 school districts, lED, state, and federal government staff, and private people in Oregon are seiVing as advisors or consultants to environmental education projects. (We're sure this number is · larger. • 34 high schools or junior high schools out of 227 in Oregon offer courses in environmental studies. This year, with new graduation requirements, this number is probably larger. • 39 special projects or programs are available to Oregon primary and secondary students (not counting outdoor schools) ranging from ecology days, to nature study areas, to school yard projects. • 3 K-12 environmental education programs .exist or are being planned: Ashland District No. 5 contact: Vern Speirs Parkrose District contact: Max Brunton (K-12 Student techniques in Environmental Problem Solving) Eugene District 4J is developing a K-12 program with the following themes: K-4 Sense of Wonder 4-7 Uses and Abuses of Our Local and World Environment 8-12 "Responsible action will be pursued through awareness and action on local environmental problems." If you have additional information about environmental education in Oregon which will help us complete our fi!~s, please let us know. -Laura Williamson November, 1974 ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION CONFERENCE Laura, Anita, and Steve are working on a workshop for the conference, "Environmental Education Public Relations Plan." Attempting to provide information and people in the general area of media information dissemination and program support. (See Calendar.) ECO-NET MEETING The follow-up to the Boise meeting in September will take place in Spokane on November 15 and 16, to discuss the alternatives available for the establishment of an environmental education/information network in the Northwest. DON STOTLER? WELL, following one of Don's threads (his desk calendar) we found he attended 57 meetings in October. Energy Center The information has begun to flow, and some of that is visible in this issue of Rain. Marcia Lynch has developed the Energy File Folder system, for general correspondence, energy centers, energy people, bibliographies, etc. Also a complete set of folders corresponding to subject heading index in questionnaires which were sent out in August. The revised questionnaire will be out in the first week of November. A primary contact has been established with Julie Selty in the Oregon State Office of Energy ConseiVation and Allocation. Julie is developing energy information, especially designed for legislators, and it is hoped the Energy Center may provide the Energy Office and state government with abstracted or exhaustive information on energy topics. Still available from Marcia Lynch, c/o Energy Center are information sheets on wind, solar, and methane energy. Also copies of speeches made by Ray Barrett, Director Education Department, OMSI, and Lee Johnson, Energy Center, at the Federal Energy Administration's Project Independence Conference. PUBLIC ACCESS MICROFICHE is a project to provide individuals and public interest.groups with the ability to organize, film and share a common information base. After two months of work, Graham Hubenthal and Lee Johnson have found advantages in scope, cost and speed over conventional methods of information movement. Although microfiche cards can be designed for any topic, the authors have begun to develop an information bank on "energy and the environment" with a view towards duplicating this information file for use by new energy-environment information centers. Equipment for this project has been provided by Bell and Howell Microfilm Products, Portland. For a copy of A Proposal to Supply the Missz'ng Link for an Information Network: Microfiche, write Marcia Lynch, Energy Center, Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, 4015 S.W.

SOLAR COLLECTOR MANUFACTURERS & DISTRIBUTORS, a list of 35 companies selling solar panels for space and hot water heating, has been prepared by Lee Johnson of the Energy Center and is now available for distribution. Send $1.00 to Marcia Lynch, OMSI Energy Center, 4015 S.W. Canyon Rd., Portland, Ore. 97221. SHARE 1 Rusty Whitney and Bob Stilger have worked out arrangements for the first use of the experimental Eco/Net OMSI computer program, SHARE, which will enable people at 76-Week to get in touch with each other. (See Rain No. 1.) NW ALTERNATIVE AGRICULTURE CONFERENCE Lee Johnson and Ken Smith have pulled together the Alternative Energy Program for the conference (See pgs. 4 & 5, this issue.). Also, the EEC is helping Mark Musick, one of the organizers, develop a people-to-people directory of the participants in an attempt to create a permanent network of agriculture and energy folk.

Promotion is so essential to marketing that corporations sink $20 billion every year into advertising. But even with massive advertising campaigns, markets become saturated and other techniques such as planned obsolescence are necessary to create more markets. In addition to glutting the domestic market, sales increases can be obtained by promoting new foreign markets, especially in "underdeveloped" countries. Many parts of the world are being exposed for the first time to the gadgetry owned by most Americans, creating new demands for more refrigerators, radios, televisions, cars, motorcycles and air conditioners, and placing new demands on the earth's already over-burdened resource pooL (Operating Rules for Planet Earth, Sam Love.

Reactor Safety Study, An Assessment ofAccident Risks in U.S. Commercial Nuclear Power Plants, Summary Report-Draft WASH-1400. U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, 37830; August, 1974, 30pp., n/c for single copies. The study was performed under the independent direction of Professor Norman C. Rasmussen. The objective was to make a realistic estimate of public risks that could be involved in potential accidents in commercial nuclear power plants. It compares these with non-nuclear risks to which our society is already exposed. The methods used to develop these estimates are based on those developed by the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Power Generation Alternatives, City of Seattle, Department of Lighting, Gordon Vickery, Supt., Seattle, Washington, 98100; 176pp., $5.00. The different energy resources and methods of utilizing them for the generation of electricity are explained. Associated environmental effects, means of storing energy and other factors are described so the reader will be able to evaluate alternate methods of supplying electricity.
