Kamilla,
I am more familiar with WorldWatch Institute than the other two you mentioned.
I consider the WorldWatch State of the World books and WorldWatch magazine a
good source of information on environmental trends. I use their materials as a
basis for many of my lectures. If they have an axe to grind, I think it is one
which all Christians should be concerned with as well.

I am wondering which organizations and advocacy groups are the most reliable
sources of good information.
What can any of the listmembers tell me about, for instance:
Union of Concerned Scientists
Center for Science in the Public Interest
WorldWatch Institute
I am particularly interested in those organizations that are active in public
health. Are there any other organizations that might be better sources for
information and for possible involvement?
Also, before I forget again, I have looked around a bit for some of the answers
about our earlier discussion in GM foods, particularly the claim about Monarch
butterfly toxicity. It seems that those claims were wildly exaggerated. Just
goes to show you can't trust someone just because they have a tenured position
and a PhD after their name!
Thanks,
Kamilla
