OMB Watch today launched a redesigned and expanded website for the Right-to-Know Network (RTK NET) at www.rtknet.org. The website serves as a source for information about environmental and public health threats and opportunities for public engagement with environmental policy, and it offers news, data, and analysis of environmental right-to-know issues.
Sean Moulton, Director of Federal Information Policy at OMB Watch, said, "The Right-to-Know Network helps citizens defend and promote their right to participate in government decision making about access to public environmental information." Moulton added, "Armed with the information a transparent government provides, citizens can hold their government accountable for policies that affect environmental quality."
Constantly evolving since its initial launch in 1989, RTK NET continues to provide free access to several government databases of environmental information. Users can identify sources of pollution in their communities, learn about the transport of hazardous waste, search reports of chemical spills and accidents, and much more. In addition to offering access to extensive amounts of environmental data, the redesigned RTK NET presents information on how environmental data are being used to protect air and water quality, wildlife habitats, children's health, and more.
