Why Go Green?

Our actions impact the environment. Today we realize that each thing we do can help or hurt our planet in many ways. The focus is no longer just on big business. We all need to take ownership of environmental protection. We can:

• Reduce the amount of wastes we produce
• Save energy
• Use less water
• Help keep our water clean

EPA has tools to help you learn and understand the issues and help you reduce your environmental footprint. Here's how:

• If you are a business
• If you are a local government
• If you are a school
• If you are a community planner
• In your home

• Green Buildings
• Natural Infrastructure
• Sustainable Healthcare

Our Green Solutions Program is housed in the Mid-Atlantic Office of Environmental Innovation.
