Paul
we would appreciate the following message being added to the discussion
group - just letting people know who we are, etc.

Smogbusters is an Australia-wide community based project aimed at
raising community awareness of air pollution and car use. We have groups
in nearly every Australian state capital and have recently received
Commonwealth funding for project officers in five states for the next 3
years.

We also have many voluntary members working on a wide range of projects.
Smogbusters activities include - lobbying for improved public transport
and other environment-friendly and human-friendly forms of transport
such as walking and cycling, working with local communities, groups and
governments on air pollution and transport issues, other activities
including networking, data collection, public education, campaign work,
etc.

We are keen to network with overseas organisations who are working in
the field to share ideas, information and strategies on dealing with air
pollution and transport issues. We have a bi-monthly newsletter in which
we would like to have input from around the world. We may also be
interested in having a sustainable transport conference at some stage if
there is enough interest from around the Pacific region.
