This Web site leads to several sources of information on conservation, such as Natural Beauty Roads (giving guidelines of interest to land use planning committees). Readers can also check out the current DNR Calendar -- a monthly report of Game, Fish and Land Use Orders; Land Transactions; Upcoming Public Meetings Seasons and License information. Also check out the State of the Great Lakes 2001 Annual Report. new

Pollution Calculator
The interactive site  from the Environmental Law and Policy Center in Chicago calculates how much pollution is in the energy you use every day. You enter in your monthly utility bill, pick your utility, and the calculator shows you how much carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide you create, translated into car trips, trees planted, and other terms people can understand. We also have really basic explanations of what these and other pollutants do to our environment and links for more information. We hope this will be helpful to you, especially in your work on electricity deregulation/ environmental disclosure.
