- Ad-Hoc Future Planning Group
In between face-to-face meetings, these groups conduct their business by e-mail, video-conference calls, and other media. Many other ecological issues, including energy, agriculture, population, climate change, and traditional wisdom are being addressed informally by individual QEW members who feel especially led to work on those concerns.
In addition, QEW sponsors an on-line discussion group to explore ideas and share resources.
