About Our Organization...
The EnviroLink Network was created in 1991 by Josh Knauer, then a freshman
at Carnegie Mellon University. The network has grown from a simple mailing
list of 20 student activists to become one of the world's largest
environmental information clearinghouses.
At EnviroLink, we are committed to promoting an alternative sustainable society
through the use of new communication technologies, in an effort to connect
individuals and organizations. We recognize that the technologies that we
utilize are just tools, and not the final answer to our societal
communication problems.
The EnviroLink Network is a non-profit organization, run completely by
volunteers. It is only through the generosity of our members that we are
able to exist and maintain our level of service and quality.
If you are able to donate money, in-kind services, computer hardware or
any other kind of help, please let us know by contacting us via one
