Advocacy Alert!

From NAAEE

NAAEE's advocacy efforts include funding for the EPA and NOAA offices of environmental education. They are calling for support during the Congressional appropriations process.

While the Senate appropriations subcommittees included environmental education funding in their proposed funding bills and detailed it in their accompanying “reports,” the House versions do not.

Efforts are needed in the next few weeks to support the Senate in insisting on their appropriations vision, and at the same time, soften up the House appropriators to accept the Senate proposals.

The other key goal is to change one word in the Senate report. For the EPA Office, it says: "Environmental Education is recommended at not less than $9,500,000" (www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/fy26_interior_senate_report.pdf page 99).

While this is standard language for these reports, NAAEE would like to get the word “recommended” changed to “directed”.
