DISCONTINUING PUBLICATION
This extra issue of GoGreen! is to notify you that we are discontinuing production of the GoGreen! newsletter. This will be the last issue of GoGreen!
We chose EPA's 50th year to end GoGreen! as a way to mark this key anniversary. This opportunity also lets us emphasize -- see below -- the many ways, since GoGreen! began in 2007, you can find information to help you protect human health and the environment.
WHAT YOU CAN STILL DO, WHAT YOU CAN STILL USE

Monthly reminders:
In each GoGreen! we include a monthly or seasonal tip about ways you can stay safe and protect the environment year 'round -- plenty of great ideas.
- January: Test your home for radon. Radon is an invisible radioactive gas that causes lung cancer. Testing is the only way to know whether your home contains high radon levels. January is National Radon Action Month.
https://www.epa.gov/radon/find-radon-test-kit-or-measurement-and-mitigation-professional
- February: Run generators outdoors. Generator exhaust is toxic and carbon monoxide (CO) is deadly, can build up quickly, and can linger for hours. Always put generators outside well away from doors, windows, and vents. Find out more about safety and environmentally friendly options to stay safe during severe winter weather.
https://www.epa.gov/natural-disasters/snow-and-ice
- March: Protect children from accidental poisoning. Lock up household pesticides, cleaners, and chemicals in a high cabinet out of the reach of children. National Poison Prevention Week is usually in March.
https://www.epa.gov/safepestcontrol/reduce-your-childs-chances-pesticide-poisoning
- April: Earth Day is April 22. Learn about the first Earth Day in 1970, EPA's mission helps protect health and the environment today, and things you can do.
https://www.epa.gov/earthday
- May: Exercising outdoors? Check the air quality forecast to find the best time for a workout or run. Knowing your local air quality can help reduce aggravating respiratory problems such as asthma. May is Asthma Awareness Month.
https://www.airnow.gov
- June: Prepare for disaster before it strikes. June is usually the beginning of hurricane season in the US. Individuals, communities, and businesses can plan and prepare ahead for safety, shortages, and storm cleanup.
https://www.epa.gov/hurricanes
- July: Don't sunburn. The UV Index predicts the strength of the sun's ultraviolet rays that can cause skin damage. Check your UV forecast so you know how strong the sun's rays will be, and avoid sun overexposure. July is UV Safety month.
https://www.epa.gov/sunsafety
- August: Composting at home. Instead of bagging, leave the cut grass on the lawn to decompose and return to the soil, helping your lawn stay healthy. Get more backyard composting ideas.
https://www.epa.gov/recycle/composting-home
- September: Prepare for emergencies. Find out what you can do to reduce risks from environmental hazards before, during, and after a natural disaster. September is National Preparedness Month (and the average annual peak of hurricane activity).
https://www.epa.gov/natural-disasters/september-preparedness-month
- October: Children's Health Month. Find events and learn how you can help protect children from environmental risks at home, at school, and in your community.
https://www.epa.gov/children
- November: America Recycles. Deciding to recycle items is just the first step. Learn how you can recycle many household items such as paper, plastics, used oil, batteries and electronics, and many others.
https://www.epa.gov/recycle/how-do-i-recycle-common-recyclables
- December: Give the gift of energy savings. Look for products for electronics, appliances, lighting, and much more that also help save energy. Great ideas for homes and businesses, too!
