National Dialogue on Access to Environmental Information

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

The EPA has launched the “National Dialogue on Access to Environmental Information.” They are interested in obtaining your views on how to improve access to environmental information. Your input will help EPA develop a strategy to provide better access and delivery to environmental information. They would like to know the following:

* What you’re looking for
* How you use the information you find
* The words you use when you search for environmental information
* How you like to get your information (formats, styles, etc., as well as email vs. text vs. maps, etc.)
* Who you are (categories, not necessarily your name)

You can comment privately, or post on the public forum. Check out what other people are saying too.

The commenting period is open until the end of June.
