Kedves Kornyeszek !

	Kb. egy hete levelvaltasba keveredtem itt Vorsatz Diana
cikkevel kapcsolatban, ami egy "demografiai katasztrofarol" szamol be
a New York Times cikke kapcsan. A dolog nem hagyott nyugodni es utana-
neztem egy kicsit jobban. Tehat lassuk elobb az adatokat :
A CIA Factbook alapjan Magyarorszag lakossaga :

1991 : 10558001 ; 1994 : 10319113

Ez 3%-os csokkenesnek felel meg.

Erdekes, hogy az ENSZ demografiai kiadvanya mas szamokat ad meg :
1985 : 10579000 ; 1991 : 10365000 ; 1994 : 10161000

1985-91 : -2.1% (-0.29%/ev) ; 1991-94 : -2% (-0.5%/ev)

Ennyit a statisztikakrol.

Ugyanakkor a halalozasi es szuletesi ratak 91-ben es 94-ben (CIA) :
91 : 12 szuletes, 13 halal/1000 lakos
94 : 12.46 szuletes, 12.72 halal/1000 lakos

A kulonbseg valoszinuleg csak a szamitas pontossagabol adodik, bar ezt
sohase fogjuk megtudni.
A varhato elettartam 91 es 94 :
91 : Ferfi : 68     No : 76
94 : Ferfi : 67.37  No : 75.58

Erdekes, hogy az ENSZ demografiai kiadvanyaban kisse mas adatok szerepelnek :
Ferfi : 1985-90 : 65.5 ; 1990-95 : 64.5

Megfigyelheto tehat a halalozas novekedese, de az igazi valtozas a gyerek-
szulesek szamaban van, allitja az ENSZ tanulmany - mashol. Magyarorszagon
ebben a tekintetben nincs nagy valtozas, a szuletesi rata nem csokkent annyira,
mint mas orszagokban (kb. 1.8 gyerek/no). Ezekbol a szamokbol ugy tunik, hogy
Magyarorszagon a nepesseg fogyasanak uteme valamelyest megnovekedett
es ez a varhato elettartam kisebb csokkenesevel van osszefuggesben.

Az ENSZ tanulmany masutt latja Kelet-Europa lakossagcsokkenesenek okat :
"   A substantial net out-migration from these six countries of almost 700
thousand persons, mostly to Western Europe, was observed for the period
1985-1990.  The 1994 Revision estimates an increase of net out-migration to
more than 850 thousand people for the period 1990-1995."
(A hat orszag : Bulgaria, Csehorszag, Magyarorszag, Lengyelorszag, Romania
 es Szlovakia)

(or someone willing to do some research and become an 
expert)

Ecology CenterUs Plastics Recycling 
Task Force
 
Have you ever wondered why BerkeleyUs curbside recycling 
program does not pick up plastic?  Well, many residents 
are wondering the same, and the City Council has asked the 
Ecology Center to develop a recycling plan for plastics.  
The Center has established a Plastics Recycling Task Force 
to do a feasibility report.
 
The Ecology Center is the grassroots environmental 
organization that has conducted curbside recycling in 
Berkeley for the past 25 years.  It also runs an 
environmental education center and bookstore and manages 
the three farmersU markets in Berkeley.
 
The Task Force is currently composed of Ecology Center 
staff and board, recycling experts, and concerned 
citizens.
 
We are looking for knowledgeable graduate students who can 
contribute time to do a little research and attend Task 
Force meetings.  The Task ForceUs report will have a great 
bearing on whether and how plastics are recycled in 
Berkeley.
 
Specifically, the Task Force is trying to assess:
% How much of what kinds of plastic are being used
%  Alternatives to plastics
%  Markets for recycled plastics
%  Environmental and worker impacts of recycling plastic

The  Regional  Environmental Center for  Central  and
Eastern  Europe  (REC) is now accepting  applications
for  the position of Project Coordinator for its  new

development  and  capacity  building  for  government
sector  to  prepare  them  to  address  environmental
problems  effectively, (3) promote  investments  with
high  cost/benefit ratio to remediate and to  prevent
environmental  problems. The  project  supports  both
governments  and  NGOs involved in  the  Luzern-Sofia
process  dealing with EAP at the national level,  and
the   municipalities  defining  their  own  EAPs   in
coordination with other municipalities  of  the  same
region.

The Project Coordinator is responsible for developing
contacts   with   experts  from   different   sectors
(including    government,   businesses    and    non-
governmental organizations) in the field  of  EAP  in
CEE   and   Western  countries,  organize   effective
cooperation  and  experience  sharing  between   them
resulting in quality thematic reports to be published
by REC.

The  ideal candidate will be from Central and Eastern
Europe and will have the following qualifications:
-  experience  in environmental related  projects  in
Central and Eastern Europe,
-  familiarity with Environmental Action Plan related
issues,
-  excellent  planning,  organizational  and  project
management skills,
-  fluency in English and in one Central and  Eastern
European language,
- excellent computer skills (Word for Windows, Excel)

Salary will be based on experience and qualification.
If  you  are interested in this challenging position,
please  send your application including the names  of
two  persons  who are willing to serve as  references
for you, a CV and a cover letter by February 28, 1995
