EPA Administrator Regan and Singapore National Environment Agency Minister Fu sign Memorandum of Understanding

0

WASHINGTON (July 20, 2023) — Today, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Singapore’s National Environment Agency signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance bilateral cooperation on environmental management and protection between the two nations. The MOU was signed in Washington, D.C. this week by EPA Administrator Michael Regan and Singapore’s Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu.

“EPA is fortunate to have such a strong and engaged partner as Singapore to work with while we advance our shared goals of protecting human health and the environment,” said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “The robust relationship the EPA has enjoyed with Singapore is a model to be emulated. We look forward to continued cooperation and are excited to include a focus on Environmental Justice in this MOU.”

“Singapore and the U.S. enjoy longstanding cooperation on environmental matters, underpinned by a shared commitment to improving climate and environmental outcomes for our peoples and the world,” said National Environment Agency Minister Grace Fu. “This MOU will add further opportunities for such cooperation, by formalizing institutional ties between our countries’ environmental authorities.”

Under the MOU, both sides agreed to strengthen cooperation on a broad range of environmental issues, including solid waste management, circular economy, air quality management, environmental justice, and the decontamination and management of chemical, biological and radiological incidents. EPA and NEA will also explore the opportunities for technical exchanges, information sharing, and joint projects between the two agencies.

The MOU widens existing environmental cooperation between Singapore and the U.S., which currently takes place under the [auspices] of the U.S.-Singapore Free Trade Agreement (USSFTA) and its Memorandum of Intent (MOI) on Cooperation in Environmental Matters, and the 2021 U.S.-Singapore Climate Partnership.

Looking to Pick Up a New Hobby? Indigo Studio is Here to Help

Article by Brittany Smith, Input Fort Wayne

Do you enjoy the thrill of picking up a new hobby? You’re not alone. 53 percent of Americans picked up at least one new hobby over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

But new hobbies can be expensive and time-consuming. The internet has an endless supply of videos and blogs with instructions or material recommendations, but it can be overwhelming to figure out what to buy to get started on something new.

Serial hobbyists will tell you they often spend big bucks to pick up a new hobby, only to drop it after weeks or months because it wasn’t something that suited them.  If you’re crafting on a budget, you might find yourself wondering if name brands are always worth the higher costs.

That’s why Jennifer Zartman Romano started Indigo Studio. A serial crafter herself, Zartman Romano knows the struggle of fellow arts and craft enthusiasts who want to try everything.

Otters lose late lead to Greys

0
Evansville, Ind. – The Empire State Greys hit a go-ahead three-run home run in the eighth inning to defeat the Evansville Otters 6-4 Saturday night at Bosse Field.

Evansville was an out away from escaping the eighth inning but the Greys’ Jordan Scott launched the game-winning three-run home run over the left field wall.

Braden Scott made his return to Evansville on the mound. The Otters’ starter pitched 5.2 innings, allowing just four hits and two runs with eight strikeouts. He retired the first nine batters of the game.

The Otters took an early lead in the 2nd inning. Jeffrey Baez led off with a base hit before Jomar Reyes doubled to score Baez.

Bryan Rosario knocked in the second run of the inning by running out an infield base hit.

The Otters extended the lead to 4-0 in the fifth inning when Josh Broughton launched a two run homer 347 feet over the left field wall.

Broughton has two home runs in his first three games as an Otter.

Empire State cut the four-run lead in half on a two-out two-RBI double in the sixth inning.

A solo home run in the seventh inning trimmed the lead to one before the eighth inning three-run home run gave Empire State the lead.

Evansville stranded five runners over the final four innings including two in scoring position in the eighth inning.

Reyes led the Otters’ offense with two doubles and reached all four times to the plate. Noah Myers extended his season-long hit streak to 13 games.

The Otters and Greys play for the series on Sunday evening as part of a Dog Days of Summer with discounted hot dogs while fans are encouraged to bring their dogs. First pitch is slated for 5:05 PM CT.
