向大家推荐了解一下美国环保署的政府公开计划(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Open Government Plan 1.0 ,下载地址 http://www.epa.gov/open/EPAOpenGovernmentPlan.pdf ) 在新上线的EPA 政府公开网址上( http://www.epa.gov/open/ ),美国环保署署长Lisa P. Jackson说道:The success of our environmental efforts depends on earning and maintaining the trust of the public we serve. The American people will not trust us to protect their health or their environment if they do not trust us to be transparent and inclusive in our decision-making. To earn this trust, we must conduct business with the public openly and fairly. ... In short, we will let more sunlight into our Agency. 该网址( http://www.epa.gov/open/ )为公众提供了一个了解、参与EPA的平台。公众可以通过该网址、 www.Data.gov 以及 www.Geodata.gov 和 www.epa.gov/datafinder 得到高质量的环境数据。最新公开的数据包括Toxic Chemical Substances Inventory、Chesapeake Bay Program Water Quality Database 、ToxCast Phase I、Toxics Release Inventory Chemical Hazard Information Profile (TRI-CHIP) Dataset 以及New Mapping Tool for Enforcement Cases等。 美国环保署在面向公众开放、鼓励公众参加交流方面做了很多事情。如环保署长Jackson公布了她的twitter账号 http://twitter.com/lisapjackson ,在 http://www.epa.gov/lisa 上公开她的日程、会议等。还有一些其他人员也公开其工作日程安排在 http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/Calendars?OpenView )。 EPA在与公众的交流方面还有一些web 2.0的新方式,如 ?
