Earthwave Society is a nonprofit organization that
advocates the
prudent utilization of our planet's natural resources, and has focused
its energies on informing and educating people around the world about
important
environmental issues - in particular, those issues which could have
long
lasting, detramental effects on entire ecosystems if left entirely to

Pollution, destruction of wetland habitats, mining, commercial overharvests, by-catch, construction of dams, and alteration of rivers are all major contributors to the continuing demise of certain fish and wildlife populations, of riverine habitat, and of our oceans and bays. These impacts can disrupt the delicate balance of ecosystems - ecosystems which are the very soul of our own existence. And friends, the situation is critical. YOU CAN HELP, and you can start now by knowing what the issues are, by knowing how your elected officials are voting on these issues; and by casting your VOTE on election day. |
