Dear all: I just want to thank all of the organizers of ETAI on a fun and interesting conference, and congratulate and thank Penny Ur for taking on the chairmanship for the coming year. I would encourage those who have not been in a while to consider coming back and also attending the various regional conferences and mini-ETAI in the coming year. I also want to share with you a great site, with a downloadable movie, about the story of stuff, http://www.storyofstuff.com/index.html. It is a wonderful summary of the flow of materials through our economic system, with a purpose of opening our eyes to the environmental costs of the products we buy, and obviously a call for action. Have a great summer, Mr. Herz
