Linking to EE Web Sites from EPA
Submit a Site for Review
Your Web site could be linked from one of EPA's environmental education portals. Use the online form to submit a site for review by the EEWW.
EPA's Environmental Education Web Workgroup (EEWW) consists of EE coordinators and Web designers from various EPA regions and headquarters. Their goal is to make Web-based EE materials more accessible as well as educationally and technologically sound.
In order to maintain EPA's EE portal sites, the EEWW:
- Evaluates new sites to determine whether they are appropriate to be included as links
- Reviews current trends in technology and technology education to ensure that the Web sites meet the needs of the users, and
- Updates site design when necessary
Read the linking criteria to determine if the site you are proposing may be included in any of the portal sites.
Submit a site for review by the EEWW.
