Tips for Facilitating an Environmental Email List
The following manual is from the ONE/Northwest environmental organisation and was created to help environmental organisers learn to use email discussion lists more effectively.
The following excerpt is from http://www.onenw.org/toolkit/email-list-facilitation
The popularity of email lists within the Northwest environmental community has increased enormously in recent years and are an important organizing tool. However, as the number of email lists has proliferated, the quality and focus of these lists has not necessarily improved along with it. There is considerable duplication of effort, and well-managed email lists take a long time to find. The combination of these factors has often caused activists to spend a lot of time in front of a computer rather than building relationships with people.
