Here's how it works: you agree to let Thunderclap post a one-time message on your social networks (Facebook, Twitter or Tumblr) on Monday, September 29 at 2:00 pm EDT. If 500 or more people sign up to participate before then, the message will be posted on everyone's walls and feeds at the same time. But if fewer than 500 sign up, nothing happens. Here's the message: "Clean water is important to me. I want EPA to protect it for my health, my family, and my community. www.epa.gov/USwaters" Sign up to join the Thunderclap for Clean Water here.  http://thndr.it/1rUOiaB EPA's Publication Center Offers Free Digital and Print Materials Looking for an educational, technical, or scientific resource?
