SUMMARY:Finding the Pollution Sources in Your Community
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wanted to know what kind of pollution is being generated in your community? The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ECHO website makes it easy to find facilities in your community that discharge pollutants to air\, water and land. It also reports information on whether those facilities are in compliance with the law.\n\nJoin us as we share how you can use ECHO to find pollution sources in your community and get engaged to make sure they are following the law and working to protect environmental and human health. This session is led by staff from Healthy Gulf: Matt Rota\, senior policy director\, and Christian Wagley\, coastal organizer FL – AL. Communities in Florida and along the Gulf coast will be used to demonstrate the use of ECHO.\nRegistration is available here.\nFor more information or to register\, call 850-687-9968 or email christian@healthygulf.org
