Dear Friends & Colleagues: One year ago Temas Actuales launched its free monthly e-mail summary of the consumer and EHS news we post on our website, www.temasactuales.com <http://www.temasactuales.com/> , and I suggested that Greenyes?rs interested in Latin American & Caribbean developments regarding waste, recycling, packaging, WEEE and producer responsibility might wish to sign up, since the coverage tends to focus heavily on such developments. Well, a year later, I want to re-issue the invitation, and have listed below (with links) the news items on these issues you might have missed so far in 2005 by not signing up for the FREE newsletter. Signing up is easy: just plug in your e-mail in the slot on the left-hand panel of any page on our website. For those of you interested in environmental issues other than wastes and end-of-life (EOL) products, we also have covered during the years such topics as cell phone towers, carbon credits, underground petrol tanks, use of sewage sludge, oil spills, chemical safety, mandatory energy efficiency and labeling, biosafety, solvents, POPs, mining, pesticides, detergents, environmental licensing, ozone-depleting substances, mandatory environmental labeling, ecolabeling, environmental crime, motor vehicle emissions, renewable energy, water conservation, etc. Best Regards, Keith
