About us
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) mission is to protect human health and the environment. EPA works to ensure that: - Americans have clean air, land and water; - National efforts to reduce environmental risks are based on the best available scientific information; - Federal laws protecting human health and the environment are administered and enforced fairly, effectively and as Congress intended; - Environmental stewardship is integral to U.S. policies concerning natural resources, human health, economic growth, energy, transportation, agriculture, industry, and international trade, and these factors are similarly considered in establishing environmental policy; - All parts of society--communities, individuals, businesses, and state, local and tribal governments--have access to accurate information sufficient to effectively participate in managing human health and environmental risks; - Contaminated lands and toxic sites are cleaned up by potentially responsible parties and revitalized; and - Chemicals in the marketplace are reviewed for safety. The agency was founded in 1970 and is headquartered in Washington, District of Columbia with ten additional regional headquarters offices (Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle) as well as more than a dozen laboratories, and other regional and programmatic offices.

Going batty for Pollinator Week? 🦇 The work of pollinators is key in providing humans one out of every three bites of food and sustaining the reproduction of plant material (such as seeds and berries) required by other wildlife. Bats work the night shift 🌛, feeding on flower nectar and getting pollen all over their faces and bodies in the process. These nocturnal pals play a part in cross-pollination by moving to the next flower and depositing pollen. Bats are just as important as the day shift birds and bees that feed on daytime flowering plants. EPA conducts research and develops methods, tools, and models to better understand the effects of pesticides on the health of pollinators. EPA also maintains a Memorandum of Understanding with Pollinator Partnership, an organization dedicated to improving the health and survival of all pollinator species. 🌸Check out this year's beautiful poster: https://lnkd.in/e5rAqM3X

Insects are the MVPs of pollinators! You may know some of the most popular insect pollinators (bees 🐝and butterflies 🦋), but don't forget about some of the more surprising pollinator pals (flies 🪰, beetles 🪲 and mosquitos 🦟). In addition to the food that we eat, pollinators support healthy ecosystems that help clean the air, stabilize soils, protect from severe weather, and support other wildlife. One more chance this Thursday to visit the Smithsonian Gardens Bug Mobile in Washington, DC. Visit one of the locations below to find out what you can do to help pollinators in your community. 🪻🚜Thurs 6/20: Common Ground: Our American Garden at the National Museum of American History 🪻Fri 6/21: USDA Farmer's Market at the National Mall, next to the Smithsonian metro stop Learn more about what you can do: https://lnkd.in/e27a_3JR #PollinatorWeek #SmithsonianGardens #DCGardens #VisitDC
