EPA is redesigning its Safer Product Label, currently the
Design for the Environment (DfE) label, for products that meet rigorous safety
standards to better protect you, your family, and the environment. The
redesigned label is intended to help consumers, businesses and institutional
buyers recognize products that have earned the EPA Safer Product Label.  Learn more about the label redesign in Assistant Administrator Jim Jones’ blog post here. http://go.usa.gov/VRjYComment by October 31, 2014 on the proposed
designs here. http://go.usa.gov/VRWPJoin EPA for a Clean Water Thunderclap on September 29EPA is using Thunderclap to provide
a way for people to show their support for clean water and the agency’s proposal
to protect it. Here’s how it works: you agree to let Thunderclap post a
one-time message on your social networks (Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr) on
Monday, September 29 at 2:00 pm EDT.  If 500 or more people sign up to
participate before then, the message will be posted on everyone's walls and feeds at the
same time. But if fewer than 500 sign up, nothing happens.Here’s the message: “Clean water is important to me. I want
EPA to protect it for my health, my family, and my community. www.epa.gov/USwaters”Sign
