A hierarchy for the discussion of the environment, natural and man-made, in
which we live.  Topics could include its ecological balance, its resources and
their use or abuse, the disruption and pollution caused by human activity, the
raising of public awareness, and measures for its conservation, and
management.

Strictly scientific matters should be discussed in a sci.* or uk.sci.* group,
recreational use of the environment should be discussed under uk.rec.*, and
government activities affecting the environment should be discussed in
uk.politics.environment.
