This is a periodic status message for the ecopath discussion
list. Welcome new subscribers. This is a small list of
about 53 subscribers. We are currently growing by one or two
people each month.
At present the list is about a year old and consists of
occasional discussion periods with me (jeff) providing
constant posts on different topics. There is a web page with
some philosophy but the essence is in the posting guidelines.

The scope of the list (what topics fit) has been difficult
for me to adhere to. I keep drifting off into world problems
and abstract philosophy, but here is the suggested scope:
1. Ideas individuals can incorporate into their lives.
This can be models of the future, daily activities,
useful viewpoints (usually related to ethics or
philosophy) and tools.
2. Ideas should be related to ecology or sustainability.
This can be anything that moves us one step closer
to a sustainable world. Of course, the ideas are
relative to our starting point and it is the "step"
that is important.
3. Descriptions of what someone is doing, has done, or
plans to do.
Generally, personal experience is valued more highly
than opinion, cultural rules, stories about others,
etc.
