"As a nation we have accomplished a great deal since that historic
Earth Day outpouring of environmental concern 20 years ago. We can
take pride in the successes of the past two decades. As individuals and
as a society, we have learned that we can make a difference, that we can
effectively address environmental concerns to improve the quality of life.
Every day must be Earth Day as we seek to learn about our world.
First, controlling pollution is not enough. Pollution must be prevented
from occurring in the first place.
We will now make pollution prevention a hallmark of our environmental
efforts. The people of this country are, I believe, ready to participate in
this effort. It is an area that demands education more than regulation,
and information more than enforcement."

Environmental Education Resources
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is frequently asked for
environmental and conservation information to assist youth groups, educators,
schools, and others.
As government resources are limited, we have gathered information from
businesses, industries, utilities, public interest groups, and others who may have
environmental/conservation programs and information materials. We share this
information with those who may have an interest in environmental education
resources.
This Directory does not contain all the environmental educational resources
available from private and public entities but is intended as a start in identifying
such resources. The Directory may also suggest ideas for resources not listed
but available in your communities and is a supplement to materials available in
schools and libraries.
Youth groups and classes interested in participating in the Presidential
Environmental Youth Awards program may obtain information and applications
from our office.
The last page of the Directory may be used for your additions and suggestions
for future publications.
Thank you for the fine response that earlier editions of the Directory received.
We hope the 1990 edition is also helpful in suggesting sources of assistance as
you go forward with environmental education.
