“New Mexico is an energy colony and energy development and
natural resources exploitation must remain the focus of much of SRIC’s
work. Although we continue to study problems which we feel are timely
and of national import, as a public interest research organization in
Albuquerque, New Mexico, Southwest Research and Information Center continues
to remain responsive to community groups with constantly changing needs,
bringing our technical and journalistic expertise to bear on local problems.”

We Need Your
Help
SRIC has been around for 35 years, and we plan on being around for a lot
longer. But in order to do this we need your help. Make a donation today
to help us continue our work. Even better, how about donating a small
amount each month – just $10 per month would help SRIC continue
to provide assistance to communities. We are also able to take credit
card donations via the phone, (505) 262-1862, or online at our website:
www.sric.org. Thank you!
“Seeds
of Change” Exhibit
The Albuquerque chapter of Soka Gakkai International (SGI) and the University
of New Mexico SGI Buddhist Club are proud to bring to UNM the “Seeds
of Change: The Earth Charter & Human Potential” exhibit for
a day of awareness. This exhibit was created by SGI and The Earth Charter
Initiative and was first shown at the World Summit on Sustainable Development
in 2002. These educational panels will be on display at UNM on April 17,
2006. In addition, New Mexico organizations will have informational tables
at the event.
At 6:00 pm there
will be a reception with speeches. The SGI has invited The Honorable Stewart
Udall, former Secretary of the Interior, and Jack Loeffler, activist and
author of Adventures with ED, as key speakers. This is a free
event.
Proposed
Revisions to Solid Waste Regulations
The New Mexico
Environment Department (NMED) is revising it Solid Waste Regulations.
Although many of the regulations will remain, some others have been changed.
Community and advocacy organizations have proposed environmental justice
language and provisions that would benefit both low-income and communities
of color. Industry, Business, Municipalities and Counties are also proposing
or opposing revisions. The proposed regulations will be posted on NMED’s
website (www.nmenv.state.nm.us) on
April 3, 2006. People interested in testifying have until April 17 to
submit a Notice of Intent to File Technical Testimony. The Hearings
will begin on May 2, and are tentatively scheduled to last a few days.
