Matt Bogoshian, US EPA's Framework for the Economy

Pollution prevention and sustainability is the framework for rebuilding the economy, according to Matt Bogoshian of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA is preventing pollution, spreading green products, and helping business grow.

The EPA has their focus on your health and your environment. And they have tons of solutions, including their National Pollution Prevention Program, Greener Products Portal, partnerships, and more. They partner with state and local experts through their E3 framework in finding solution to wasted time, money, and energy. So far, it's proven to be effective, saving one business over $200k in waste and energy costs per year, and allowing another with enough savings to triple their staff from 100 to 300 employees.

You can get involved! The EPA provides something called the Greener Products Portal, which is a tool to help consumers buy smarter products depending on what your personal needs of improvement are.

The EPA does more than pollution prevention. They create standards, reward corporations for creating safe chemicals, and so much more. Check out the podcast to have your mind filled and inspired.
