Hi there,
Good Day. I created a website for my Research Group for Industrial Ecology,
LCA and Systems Sustainability at the University of Maine for the purpose of
attracting good students and potential collaborators in my research program.
The website address is <http://ielcass.tripod.com/ilss/>
http://ielcass.tripod.com/ilss/ .
Please forward this to anyone or any group that might be interested in our
life cycle sustainability works in wood and non-wood products, pulp and
paper, forest-based carbon and ecosystem services. If they have website, I
would like to request them to include this site in the "Related Links"
section.
Thanks,
Anthony
