Excellent Source for Environmental News and Information

Another resource in the myriad of services provided by CTAS is the CTAS "Environmental Blog." This website, found at http://ctasenvblog.tennessee.edu/ has been up and running for a little over a year. You can find up to the minute information on environmental issues affecting county government that is useful both for county officials and employees and the citizens in the communities you serve. For example, the most recent post from August 19 lists details for household hazardous waste collection events for Maury and Sequatchie Counties. Other topics covered on the site include landfill management, fuel conservation and renewable energy, recycling, waste collection and transfer, grants and loans for environmental programs and more. If you are concerned about environmental issues and how they affect your county's operations and your community, I strongly recommend you visit this site regularly. It is updated frequently and you can post comments and ask questions if you need more information on a topic.
