President Bush's proposed budget will CLOSE the Office of Environmental Education eliminate $8 million of EE funding and eliminate 12 years of support that educators and students have benefited from each year.

Tomorrow, March 20th at 9:30am the Senate Appropriations Committee is expected to review the EPA's budget.
