Welcome
WELCOME to the United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA)
Earth Day Event! Whether you happened by while in the D.C area or planned
to visit us today, we are glad you stepped into our tent to enjoy the exhibits,
demonstrations and hands-on activities.
EPA's Earth Day event offers a unique opportunity to learn about how
each one of us can make a difference in protecting our environment and
even glimpse into the future with technology designs that can lead to a
sustainable planet.
This year's Earth Day event includes the National
Sustainable Design Expo featuring EPA's P3 competition.
The P3 - People, Prosperity and the Planet - competition is
an annual event for teams of graduate and undergraduate
students to design solutions for environmental and
sustainability challenges worldwide. These teams bring their
innovative designs to the National Mall and compete for the P3
Award and a grant of $75,000 to turn their idea into a business or implement
it in the community. This year, 55 teams from across the United States are
competing and showcasing their ideas alongside our exhibitors.
See how the energy and creativity of today's college students can empower
solutions for a greener future!
Held every year in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol, the Expo truly is an
inspiring exhibition of innovative technology for a sustainable future. This
year, more than 40 nonprofit organizations,
businesses and other government agencies
are showcasing their achievements
in sustainability. This year's Expo is
cosponsored by EPA, the American Institute
of Chemical Engineers, the American Society of Civil Engineers and Engineers
Without Borders-USA.
