At @EPA, we are working to improve access to clean drinking water both at home & abroad. Today, over 92% of community water systems in the U.S. meet all health-based standards every day, but more must be done to improve access to safe & sanitary water worldwide. https://t.co/uKOBPYT2wk — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, we celebrated #AmericaRecycles Day with events highlighting our progress as a nation to #reducereuserecyle and #recycleright. Thank you to our many partners who have pledged to do their part to improve America’s recycling system! https://t.co/vAm2QOxu3o — PolitiTweet.org

Now more than ever we all need to do our part to #RecycleRight. Know what your local recycling collector accepts and look for opportunities beyond the bin to recycle. #AmericaRecycles https://t.co/yie1hXbIT7 https://t.co/48GA46Fn36 — PolitiTweet.org

We recognize the challenges recycling programs face, however, the industry is still thriving and keeping our environment healthy. https://t.co/5QMXDgB0Us — PolitiTweet.org

Today, #EPA simplified a disposal rule for hazardous waste aerosol cans that will help streamline systems for numerous industries such as retail, construction & manufacturing, and help facilitate environmentally sound recycling of this common waste stream. https://t.co/O2hROAsZF0 https://t.co/kZxTe8nMXU — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #AmericaRecycles Day! Your recycling efforts help increase the reprocessing of materials in the U.S. This reduces our dependency on imports, preserves our leadership in tech innovation, supports job creation & saves critical materials! 👍 https://t.co/vSOqfMqQJE https://t.co/JVPigZjnyM — PolitiTweet.org

#DYK, it is important to not just recycle, but to #RecycleRight? Putting the wrong thing in a recycling bin leads to contamination. If you’re not sure if an item is recyclable, check with your local recycling provider before you put it in the bin. #AmericaRecycles https://t.co/u4NJa0gKNc — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

Recycling doesn't just conserve energy & natural resources. A 2016 #EPA report shows recycling accounted for 757K jobs & $36.6 billion in wages each year. Every 10K tons of materials recycled is responsible for nearly 16 American jobs. #AmericaRecycles https://t.co/dH7TC4Ov9r — PolitiTweet.org

Next year, #EPA celebrates its 50th Anniversary! Looking back, a big part of our success is #Recycling. In 1970, the household recycling rate was <10%. Today, recycling programs can be found across the country and the U.S. recycling rate has reached more than 35%! https://t.co/pG8MQG7629 — PolitiTweet.org

#DYK that our voluntary WasteWise program is one of #EPA’s longest running partnership programs?

The proposed rule allow studies like the Harvard Six City study to be used. EPA has not rejected or otherwise eliminated that option in anyway. In fact, the supplemental makes it clearer that such studies must be properly considered & takes comment from the public on this issue. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

The proposed science transparency rule maintains protecting confidential personal information just as other federal health agencies regularly do. This rule will ensure regulatory science underlying EPA’s actions are available in a manner sufficient for independent validation. — PolitiTweet.org

EPA is committed to scientific integrity & transparency. Science transparency doesn't weaken science, quite the contrary.Requiring transparency will strengthen science. Scientists will be required to publish hypothesis & experimental data for other scientists to review & discuss — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

When EPA develops significant regs using public resources, including regs for which the public is likely to bear the cost of compliance, EPA should ensure the data & models underlying scientific studies that are pivotal to regulatory actions are available for review & reanalysis. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

Academic journals, including the Public Library of Science & the Annals of Internal Medicine already require authors to make their data available upon request. Yale & Harvard are making strides in creating publicly accessible repositories of research & clinical data. — PolitiTweet.org

The proposal & supplemental will not apply to any regulations already in place. https://t.co/1B95gXBfPg — PolitiTweet.org

The NYT published story: EPA to Limit Science Used to Write Public Health Rules. This has numerous errors & is based on leaked preliminary, draft documents that are not accurate & is not the final text submitted to OMB last week for interagency review. https://t.co/1B95gXBfPg — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

To say politically appointed agency administrator's would have wide-ranging discretion over which studies to accept/reject is completely false. The proposal requires transparency & gives the discretion to use studies when information isn't available. This should be the exception. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

Science transparency does not weaken science, quite the contrary. By requiring transparency, scientists will be required to publish hypothesis & experimental data for other scientists to review & discuss, requiring the science to withstand skepticism & peer review. — PolitiTweet.org

U.S. EPA @EPA

It is important to ensure science underlying EPA decisions is transparent & available for evaluation by the public & stakeholders. The proposed Science Transparency rule seeks to ensure science & data underlying EPA’s actions are publicly available for independent validation — PolitiTweet.org
