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

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
