November 6, 2006—To provide the public with the most up-to-date information on climate change, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is unveiling its new Climate Change Web site.
The site provides the latest scientific information and highlights a wide range of US government programs that are actively addressing climate change at the local, state, national, and international levels.
The updated Web site still contains all the information that was on EPA’s global warming Web site but organizes it for easier access and adds new information, says the EPA. The new site has five primary sections: Science, US Climate Policy, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Environmental Effects, and What You Can Do.
The site includes a page on what steps individuals can take at the office, “AT THE OFFICE” TO and a page on steps businesses can take.
Individuals or employees can also use the greenhouse gas emissions calculator to help them estimate their “carbon footprint”—the greenhouse gas emissions produced in the course of everyday activities.
