Frequent questions
How may I participate in the conversation?
The blog is open to the public for commenting. Comments are moderated according to our comment policy . The views expressed in comments do not necessarily reflect the official views of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the federal government.
In what order do the posts appear on the blog?
Posts are added in reverse chronological order, with the newest post at the top of the home page. To find older posts, you can use the “previous post” function at the bottom of the page.
Why do you ask for my name and email address when I leave a comment? How do you protect my privacy?
In some cases we ask you to provide your name and e-mail address, although providing either is optional. We request your name to make it easier to carry on a conversation. For this reason, we publish your name along with your comment. We ask for your e-mail address so that we can contact you if necessary. It is our policy not to publish your e-mail address.
To protect your privacy, please do not include information (e.g., an e-mail address or phone number) in the text of your comment that identifies you.
You can find additional guidance as to how EPA regards privacy issues within the privacy policy provided on EPA’s main Web site.
