...high school kids, rummaging for term-paper material, find this alley and see what it means? Which is, perhaps, that virtual power, not real size, is often what's important. Envirolink has few staff members and little money, but it has power, because it is an entry to 400 enviro and animal-rights websites. Off-Road.com is an unknown, except to its communicants, who are mostly Western motorheads determined to keep Forest Service logging roads open at a time when rising environmental awareness makes it clear to the wider society that they should be closed. Lycos, briefly eager to save...
...innocent enviro wandering the Web--or an innocent black-hearted polluter--learns to click skeptically. Brave souls who reach www.radio4all.org/anarchy/fakes get a list of "anti-environmental" groups, most of them with wonderfully benign-sounding names: the Abundant Wildlife Society of North America, the California Desert Coalition, the Evergreen Foundation, the Environmental Conservation Organization, Mothers' Watch. Maybe most of these really are benign. Dunno. I check out the National Wetlands Coalition, a big-biz coalition against wetlands, and the Global Climate Coalition. The cover of this last org has been blown for some time. It's a consortium including...

Start by reading Winter Blues by Dr. Norman Rosenthal (Guilford Press), and then choose a reputable manufacturer, like the SunBox Co. of Gaithersburg, Md. www.sunboxco.com) or Enviro-Med of Vancouver, Wash. www.teleport.com/~biolight/) Whatever product you use should emit only visible light, because ultraviolet light damages the eyes. If you are photosensitive, you may develop a rash if you're taking certain medications, including sulfa drugs. Otherwise, the main drawback is having to sit in front of the light for 30 minutes to 60 minutes first thing in the morning...
...There's more than just the Veep's enviro-mania and the "gee, isn't it hot" factor at work here. Higher temperatures are cited as evidence of global warming, which equals a good reason for the Senate to pass the meager emissions-cut treaty hammered out -- with Gore's help -- at Kyoto. In more immediate terms, warmer weather also means more disease. The World Health Organization is already reporting a jump in the number of malaria cases, not to mention cholera and the deadly hantavirus. All the more reason for Gore to ride the El Nino bandwagon...
