            The Energy and Climate Information Exchange (ECIX) is a pro-
            ject  of EcoNet aimed at educating the environmental commun-
            ity and the general public on the potential of energy  effi-
            ciency  and  renewable energy to to reduce the use of fossil
            fuels and their contribution to global climate change.   The
            ECIX  File Distribution Service provides a wide selection of
            information, policy statements, newsletters, and other files
            pertaining  to  energy and climate issues.  Contributions of
            pertinent  materials  are  encouraged.   File  listings  are
            updated regularly and the revised file lists are distributed
            via  email  to  subscribers  and  several   environmentally-
            oriented newsgroups and lists.

            The ECIX Project is funded by a grant from the Joyce  Mertz-
            Gilmore Foundation.

            A number of official documents related to the UNCED  meeting
            in  June  1992  are  also available at this site in the sub-
            directory /pub/UNCED.  These are in .zip  (DOS  PK-Zip),  .Z
            (UNIX compress), and .sit (Mac compressed) formats.

            File listings and the actual files may also be requested via
            email for those without ftp access.  To request a file list-
            ing, a specific file, or to be placed on  the  mailing  list

            Please  include  your  name,  affiliation,  and  reason  for

            EcoNet.

            oriented  material  can also be found on the EcoNet network,
            which can be accessed via the Internet for a small subscrip-
            tion  fee.  For more information about EcoNet, send email to
