 If
you are interested in learning some in-depth environmental facts about
your hometown, this is the website for you. All you have to do is
type up your zip code and everything you wanted to know (or didn't
want to know) about you community is right there before your eyes.
For instance, I just learned that my county (Philadelphia County,
Pennsylvania) is one of the dirtiest ten percent of counties in the
country! On top of "dirt" like that, the site provides ways to contact
local municipalities about these issues and primarily builds an awareness
and understanding of where your local community is at environmentally.
It's not always the most uplifting of websites, but it does provide
the facts you need to start making a difference. All of their information
is from federal and state environmental agencies, like the EPA and
DEP. Sobering indeed.
