The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is hosting a video town hall at Noon MDT to discuss effective land use policies that can reduce greenhouse gases. According to the feds, “16-20 percent of U.S. GHG emissions are associated with land management policies.”

The town hall agenda will center on three issues:

• EPA wants to know what you think about EPA’s land use policies.
• What role do you see EPA playing in land reuse?
• How can land cleanup contribute to effective reuse?

Here’s how you can participate:

    I really appreciate the EPA's effort to open up this important conversation to the public. Nothing is more frustrating than DC-centric meetings that affect “fly-over country” with no capacity to weigh in. So far, a wide variety of public questions are being considered. That's a good thing.

    The only flaw that immediately comes to mind is the lack of pre-determined Twitter and Facebook hashtags to facilitate following the conversation on social media. #epa picks up a lot of extraneous chatter.
