General Archives

Communications for a Sustainable Future (CSF): CSF was founded on the idea that computer networking should be used to enhance communications with the objective of working through disparate views and ideologies to secure a more promising future. The contents of the archives and the quality of communications on CSF lists are intended to reflect this purpose.

Mailing Lists
The following mailing lists have been gleaned over the months from people who already are cross-subscribed to many. They are selected because each one addresses some or several aspects of living in harmony with the Universe.
For those unfamiliar with mailing list technology, lists are managed by software called a "list server" and the list server has an email address. To subscribe to any list, send a message to the list server where the content of the message is SUBSCRIBE [NAME OF LIST] [YOUR NAME] (without the brackets). Upon subscribing, you will receive a welcome message that describes the content of the list, gives you the email address for posting messages to the list, and provides you with necessary information about configuring receipt of messages to suit your needs.
The following index is not meant to be exhaustive or exclusive; it is meant to provide some kind of order to sorting through the many lists that are out there.
