EPA collaborates with thousands of organizations, using voluntary goals and commitments to achieve measurable environmental results in a timely and cost-effective way. The partnership programs reach out to business, industry, trade associations, communities, universities, and state and local governments. Organizations set and reach environmental goals such as conserving water and energy, or reducing greenhouse gases, toxic emissions, solid wastes, indoor air pollution and pesticide risk. These successes lie in solving environmental problems not generally addressed by laws and regulations, such as reducing greenhouse gases or encouraging wise use of energy saving lights.
