Friends of the Earth's majordomo discussion groups are a communication tool for local campaigners. The purpose of the discussion groups is to allow groups of local campaigners to share information, hold discussions and coordinate actions.
Some groups are focussed on a certain geographical area, like "ne_regional" which is a discussion group for campaigning in the North East of England, while others are more issue specific, but of nationwide relevance - like "uk_wildlife". For a full list of existing groups see below.
To sign up to a discussion group please email the owner of the group (by clicking on the link) and ask to be signed up with your email address. Once you are signed up to a group you will receive all emails send to the group and you can also email everyone in the group by using the group's name as an alias. You will receive more detailed information on how to use the group once you have signed up.
In case you feel the existing groups do not cover an issue you would like to discuss and you would like to set up a new group, please contact lcd_data_administrator@foe.co.uk
