  • when we base decisions on fear, not fact; when we allow emotions and not science to dictate responses; or when we ignore reality for perceived political or financial gain, we do a disservice to our family, our friends, our neighbors, our communities and to the fabric of our society.

    [pdf - this story on page 8] What an adventure, flying around the world in 8½ days in a 200 hp Mooney, a small single engine airplane! Well, that's what two of our own Ninety-Nines, CarolAnn Garratt of Florida and Carol M. Foy of Texas, did in December 2008. They were making a Dash for a Cure for ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig's disease. They called themselves the Dash Team.

    "Environmental engineering is the integration of science and engineering principles to improve the natural environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation (house or home) and for other organisms, and to remediate pollution sites. Further more it is concerned with finding plausible solutions in the field of public health, such arthropod-borne diseases, implementing law which promote adequate sanitation in urban, rural and recreational areas. It involves waste water management and air pollution control, recycling, waste disposal, radiation protection, industrial hygiene, environmental sustainability, and public health issues as well as a knowledge of environmental engineering law. It also includes studies on the environmental impact of proposed construction projects."
