EPA and Peace Corps Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Advance Environmental Protection Around the World
WASHINGTON (May 16, 2023) – Yesterday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Michael S. Regan and Peace Corps Director Carol Spahn convened for a ceremonial signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two agencies to broaden and strengthen institutional ties and create opportunities for cooperation related to strategic planning, training, management assistance and project implementation. Â
Through the formal partnership, Peace Corps will use evidence-based practice and traditional ecological knowledge, along with EPA’s expertise to inform its programming for Peace Corps Volunteers to help address global environmental challenges at the local level in communities around the world. Areas of collaboration include solid waste and wastewater management; improved cookstoves to protect forest and human health; building the capacity of environmental institutions; coastal, watershed and natural resource planning and management; and biodiversity preservation and restoration. In addition to programming, the MOU creates career opportunities for returned Peace Corps Volunteers and former Peace Corps staff to join the EPA team in support of their mission.
“EPA greatly values our long history of environmental cooperation with the Peace Corps,â€Â said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. “We’re proud to strengthen our commitment to working together – in partnership with our volunteers and communities around the world – to combat the climate crisis, advance the values of environmental justice and equity, and strengthen environmental governance.â€
“Emulating the intricate coordination of nature’s living systems, the Peace Corps plays a critical role in the ecosystem of actors working toward environmental justice, a green economy, and everything in between,â€Â said Director Spahn. “Together with EPA, we will take intentional actions to support localized climate adaptation and environmental protection efforts in 24 Sub-Saharan African countries. This partnership directly contributes to some of the communities most affected by climate change and environmental degradation around the world.â€Â
The MOU advances the agencies’ shared commitment announced in December 2022 at the African and Diaspora Young Leaders Forum in Washington, D.C. At the summit, Peace Corps committed $4 million for Peace Corps Volunteers to work on projects combatting climate change on the African continent. Â
Since 2010, EPA and Peace Corps have partnered on environmental protection efforts in international communities of shared concern, including Jamaica, Panama, Costa Rica, Uganda, Kenya, Burkina Faso, and Morocco. Prior collaborations included technical input on Peace Corps training materials and environmental programs, handbooks on clean cookstoves, environmental education, pesticides, solid waste, and climate change. Â

Foggo’s Contract Purchased by Mets
Evansville, Ind. –  Evansville right handed pitcher Eric Foggo has had his contract purchased by the New York Mets organization.
“We are incredibly proud and happy for Eric,” Evansville Otters Pitching Coach Max Peterson said. “He has worked hard since arriving to Evansville and we wish him the best at the next level.”
Foggo, who is in his first season of professional baseball, has not allowed a run in three innings pitched over three appearances out of the Otters’ bullpen. Tuesday night he worked a perfect inning against Ottawa. Overall, Foggo allowed just two hits in his three innings of work alongside three strikeouts.
The Hilton Head, SC native has been a key cog of a red hot Evansville bullpen. The Otters bullpen has not allowed a run in the past three games as of Wednesday with 12.1 innings of scoreless baseball. Overall, the bullpen has allowed just one run in 17.1 innings this season.
Foggo was primarily a hitter in his five year collegiate career. He played his final year of college ball at Alabama in 2022 where he pitched in six games while appearing in 20 games as a position player.
Foggo spent his first four years playing for Stentson hitting 23 home runs over his time with the Hatters.
His brother Ian is a pitcher in the Houston Astros organization.
The Otters have now sent 88 players to affiliated organizations out of Evansville.
The Evansville Otters are the 2006 and 2016 Frontier League champions.
