Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
-Margaret Mead (1901 - 1978)

SRIC, in conjunction with Lynn Behnfield Thomas, announce the publication of Earth Friendly Handbook: An Environmental Guide for New Mexicans/El Manual de Convivencia con la Tierra: una Guía ambiental para Nuevo Mexicanos. Published in both English and Spanish, this handbook offers ways to both save money and help the environment. Using the Basic Six all-purpose products, Thomas has developed a guide to help in caring for your home in a natural, more environmentally friendly way. The Earth Friendly Handbook is not just geared for New Mexicans. It is for anyone who wants to have a cleaner, healthier environment. SRIC is selling the Handbook for $5.00, plus $1.50 shipping and handling. Send a check or money order payable to: SRIC, PO Box 4524, Albuquerque, NM 87106. Multiple copies are available for purchase.

Southwest Research and Information Center's mission is "to provide timely, accurate information to the public on matters that affect the environment, human health, and communities in order to protect natural resources, promote citizen participation, and ensure environmental and social justice now and for future generations."

Southwest Research and Information Center depends on the gifts of individuals, foundations and corporations for its ability to work on behalf of New Mexico's environmental issues and concerns. Without YOUR help, we cannot take on the pressing environmental, health and economic issues that affect our daily lives.

How about pledging an amount each month for the next 12 months? A pledge of just $10 provides $120 a year to help continue our work on behalf of the environment. Just let us know and we can send your monthly reminders, or set things up to charge your credit card each month. Call Annette or Don for more details at (505) 262-1862.
