EPA Sustainability Continued

As I mentioned yesterday, I am highlighting a different area of the EPA Sustainability website. Today I looked at the Water & Ecosystem Services section of the sustainability site.

I looked at the infrastructure for water and wastewater section and I didn't know that much of our infrastructure for this was built for and during the population boom after World War II. There is also information about how the funding for upkeep and new facilities is becoming what they call an Infrastructure Gap.

I continued to look around the site and I ended up on the sustainable agriculture section since I have read and learned so much in the last month or so about sustainable farming.

As I dug down through the links on the site I found myself in an area about organic farming and I was intrigued to know that organic farming has taken place since the 1940s. I also thought to myself that it was interesting that it didn't mention when organic farming stopped and when non-organic farming took over prominence in the past. It was also interesting that over 40 agencies/groups certify products as organic but they don't use the same set of criteria, hmmm I say.

As with yesterday's post, these are the areas I happend upon and I am sure in your exploration you will see topics and areas that are more interesting to you.
