The EPA has just awarded $2.38 million to small businesses to develop innovative sustainable technoligies to help protect our environment and our people. The money was awarded to small businesses in 16 states based on environmental issues from improving water infrastructure to green building materials and systems.
The article says that there are over 25 million small businesses in the U.S. today and these businesses have generated over 60-80% of new jobs in the last decade. These small businesses have contributed/developed majority of the new sustainable technologies; so it's a good think our government is doing something to help these small businesses. The money is awarded to businesses with less than 500 employees.
