DEP Starts Webinar Series For Families

The Department of Environmental Protection this week announced it will launch a series of free quarterly webinars, called DEP@Home.

The series will run in the evenings, in order to teach families how to make their homes safer and more energy-efficient.

“Environmental protection starts at home,” DEP Secretary Mike Krancer said. “Providing these webinars is an important step in educating Pennsylvanians about how to make that principle a reality.”

The first webinar was held June 27 on Summertime Advisories which covered topics from West Nile virus and black fly spraying to Ozone Action Days and fish consumption advisories. The session also included a question-and-answer session with DEP experts.

Future topics will focus on--

-- August - Water Well-ness: Learn about construction and care for private water wells and septic systems.
-- October - Watts Up?: Learn some simple energy conservation tips to prepare for the change of the seasons.
-- January - The Reality of Radon: Learn about testing for and mitigating radon.
