Title: John Hoffman Dies
For those who didn’t know of Mr. Hoffman, he was the founder of the Energy Star program at EPA

What is the best way for someone who does not hold an environmental science/policy degree to get into EPA? I am contemplating going to Law School to get more admin/rules training and to work on enforcement issues. I have prior experience working with State level issues but my degrees are in sociology and city and regional planning. I can’t even…[Read more]

A new book titled, “Slow Death by Rubber Duck,” raises some interesting questions especially from throughout our general public about the hidden dangers of everyday consumables such as plastic containers, deodorants, shampoos (and other off-the-shelf products – too many to name here…), common-use furniture, and food. I highly recommend this book…[Read more]

Hi Folks – You all may be interested in responding to this question in the forums: How can digital media help communicate or mobilize action on environmental sustainability?

If I get a pass because I worked for former Administrator Whitman in NJ, and current Administrator is from NJ, then I accept with humility and appreciation:)

Hey guys, excuse me. I am not an EPA employee, just an aspiring small business who supports and promotes OGD seeking to bring solutions to the Agency…so let me know how to moon walk out..and I won’t look back!

Hello all

I’ve been in govloop for a few months. We’re going to start using govloop for the Graduate School Executive Potential Program that I’m in, so I figured I’d start my govloop exploring in more depth by joining the EPA Group,

Michael

I work for OWOW, but in the NPSC Branch (@Julia Burch)

I just learned about govloop in a seminar on Web 2.0 given at EPA/RTP location. Hopefully, more EPA staff and alumni will join to make this an effective informal communication channel and resource.

I am new at this, but one of the things that an organization like EPA (perhaps especially EPA) needs is the ability of all staff members with various backgrounds and disciplines to informally communicate. I look forward to see what can be done by this group for the members of the group, for the Agency, and for the public.

Greetings EPA! I currently work for a National Estuary Program (NEP), specifically the Sarasota Bay Estuary Program. Anyone else working with/for NEP or OWOW?

Good point, Marcus. Email sent.
