Subject: Fwd: EPA's New High School Web Site

Hi all:
>You may be interested in this new website:
>
>The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today unveiled a
>new Web site to help high school students explore and learn
>about their environment and ways to protect it. The site
>can be found at www.epa.gov/highschool/.
>
>"For all the students going back to school, this will be an
>especially valuable environmental information resource,"
>said EPA Acting Administrator Marianne Lamont Horinko. "It
>can sometimes be difficult to know what to trust on the Web,
>but like all EPA materials, this site has been thoroughly
>reviewed to make sure it's accurate and educational."
>
>A team of EPA environmental educators created the new Web
>site to help high school students find good environmental
>information, not just on EPA's Web site, but on other
>reliable sites as well. The team used guidelines developed
>by the North American Association for Environmental
>Education to ensure that only truly educational materials
>were included. The site complements other EPA sites for kids
>and teachers
>
>The Web site contains easy to find and easy to understand
>information about air and water issues, waste and recycling,
>conservation, health and safety, ecosystems, and community
>environmental conditions. It also links interested students
>to internship and scholarship opportunities, environmental
>careers and community involvement projects.
