H-Environment Policy Statement

Out of respect to the many subscribers on the list who desire a discussion of history as it relates to the relationship between humans and their environment, the H-Environment editors routinely reject potential postings that are not historical, have little to do with environmental history, appear to be advertisements for commercial products, or are exclusively political commentary. Most subscribers perceive such postings as a form of spam. Otherwise, the editors will use their best judgment to facilitate broad discussion of environmental history.

At times, when topics of discussion are exhausted, narrow into two person conversation, or the tone of discussion becomes uncivil, editors reserve the right to reject contributed postings or end a topic thread.

Contributors making a habit of submitting inappropriate messages may be asked to unsubscribe from the list, or may be dropped from the list.
