NWRO is setup to be an abstract organization with vision. With so many global problems, there is an unlimited amount of places to make a difference in the world. With a "open-ended" concept of what our goals actually are; there is a wide range of issues we can address at once. We can take on as many projects as we have resources to handle. Establishing a forum for discussion on the many "environmental issues" will create a vital source for the deduction and ultimately the selection of the issues that we decide to address. Through this deduction we can assess which areas of concern we can get the most done. This includes creating teams and or companies, to focus on each particular issue. so that they can carry on independently.
NWRO's first area of concern is junk mail. We have established a website and service to alleviate this problem. This is a very serious problem, which is growing exponentially into a crisis. Our website dedicated to this issue is www.globaljunkmailcrisis.org . There is plenty of more information there about this crisis.
It is our hopes for this site to become interactive, so that the communmity can become our main source for finding out where we can best direct our attention and energies. Is flex fuel more important than bio-diesel? In light of this, a top priority of U.S. national security policy should be to break the oil cartel. This imperative has been apparent since the 1973 oil embargo, but nothing effective has been done. The reason E85 pumps are so rare is that gas station owners don't want to dedicate one of their pumps to a kind of fuel that only a few percent of the cars can use. If we had a flex-fuel requirement, however, then within three years of enactment there would be 50 million cars on the road capable of running on high-alcohol fuels. Under those conditions, E85 and M50 (a 50 percent methanol, 50 percent gasoline fuel mix; flex-fuel cars can use any alcohol, including methanol) pumps would start appearing everywhere. But most important, this would not just be happening here. By requiring that all new cars sold in the United States be flex-fueled, we would be forcing all the foreign car manufacturers to switch their lines to flex-fuel as well, effectively making flex-fuel the international standard. So there would be hundreds of millions of cars worldwide capable of running on alcohol, forcing gasoline to compete everywhere against alcohol fuels that can be produced from numerous sources. This would effectively break the vertical monopoly that the oil cartel currently holds on the world's fuel supply and keep prices in the $50-a-barrel range, because that is where alcohol fuels become competitive. It would also create a market that would mobilize tens of billions of dollars of private investment into areas such as cellulosic ethanol and other advanced alcohol production techniques that can cheapen alcohols further and radically expand their potential resource base (although methanol already can be produced from any kind of biomass, without exception, as well as from coal, natural gas and urban trash). With such a production and distribution infrastructure in place, we could proceed to not merely contain the petrotyrants, but wipe them out at our discretion by implementing tax and tariff policies that favor alcohol over petroleum. We could effectively take more than a trillion dollars a year that is now going to the oil cartel, and direct it toward the world agricultural sector instead. This would not only be of great benefit to farmers here, but an enormous boon to the Third World, which otherwise faces brutal looting through continued unconstrained OPEC price hikes. Instead of financing terrorism, we could be funding world development. Instead of selling blocks of CNN to Saudi princes, we could be selling tractors to Africa. That is the way to win the war on terror.

Flex fuel cars can run on methanol. Methanol can be produced from any bio-mass including everything from compost to fallen leaves from trees.
We are financing a war against ourselves, and the way things are going, we will soon be paying the enemy(OPEC) more than we are paying our own military.
What is needed is for the Congress to pass a law requiring that all new cars sold in the United States be flex-fueled - able to run on any combination of alcohol or gasoline fuel. Such cars are existing technology - in fact about 24 different models of flex-fuel cars were produced by the Detroit Big Three in 2007, and they only cost about $100 more than the same car in a gasoline-only version. But, since alcohol fuel pumps (such as E85, a fuel mix that is 85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline) are nearly as rare as unicorns, flex-fuel cars only command about 3 percent of the new-car market.

The fact is that; Everything that a human being creates has an impact on the environment. The question is, to what degree? How long will it last, what will happen when it's no longer needed? It is essential that we, as Americans, start to think about the long term consequences of our actions, and accept that we can start making everyday decisions that will help things to change for the better.
Another truth; is that the amount of carcinogens, hazardous wastes and pollution created by the commercial printing process is astronomical. This is the reason for this effort. To make a change in the way we pollute the environment. We have the ability to choose which inks we use every day. By chooseing wisely we can make a big difference in the harm done to the environment daily by printing inks. We can choose printing inks that are made from natural products and processes, and that decompose without harm to the environment. Soy inks have been gaining popularity for the past few decades. Their print quality is incredible. By using soybased inks over standard petroleum-based in your printer you will be making a major impact on the health of the environment and stimulating the U.S. economy. Soy ink contains soybean oil, the same oil used in cooking. Soybean oil is extracted from soybeans grown in the United States, so by using it in your printer you are supporting American agriculture! Using soy ink helps the nation's economy by providing a market for a domestic crop while diminishing dependence on foreign petroleum. America's over-dependence on foreign oil is not only dangerous, it makes us extremely vulnerable. It is also finite; which means eventually the wells will run dry, and we will be forced to seek these sustainable alternatives for our petroleum-based products.
Soy inks help prevent pollution, they are low in VOC's, or Volatile Organic Compounds.
