Next week we’re looking forward to continuing our conversation on climate change during our second Earth Month Twitter chat on Monday, April 15th at 2:00PM EDT. This time, we’ll be talking about waste and what we can do to reduce, reuse, and recycle our resources. Experts from our Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response join us to talk about how we can take simple actions such as recycling used electronics and reducing wasted food to combat climate change.
Join us again on Monday, April 15th by following @EPAlive and the #AskEPA hashtag on Twitter.

It’s Not Enough……!
My daughter tried to follow this first conversation, but did not answer. By the good topic and much followers, but just an hour, I think this program is not enough……!
