  1. Spurring Innovation with Environmental Data - Developers submitted 38 apps (6 from students) - Public and EPA staff contributed 96 ideas for apps - The public is aware of the apps (they’re voting now) - The public will benefit from these apps Jeff Tumarkin Office of Environmental Information U.S. Environmental Protection Agency www.epa.gov/appsfortheenvironment • “A contest on the U.S. government's Challenge.gov platform, Apps for the Environment, offers a trip to Washington, D.C. and a chance to meet EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson — I know! Get excited! — as grand prize. But that's not the interesting bit. The interesting bit is that the EPA has pulled out the stops to get developers to build applications using their data.” - SunlightLabs.com • “To its credit, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has made a public effort to learn about the issues surrounding app contests.” - Alex Howard, Radar.OReilly.com October 5, 2011
