The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is like a superhero for our planet. Just like how your parents make sure you're safe and healthy when you're at home, the EPA helps make sure everything around us is clean and healthy.
They make rules and laws to protect our air, water, and land from pollution, which is when bad things like chemicals or waste products are released into the environment. They also help clean up pollution when it happens, and they test things like food and water to make sure they're safe for us to use and consume.
The EPA is made up of a lot of really smart people who study and research the environment to figure out what needs to be done to protect it. They work with businesses, governments, and communities all over the country to help everyone do their part in keeping the environment healthy. And just like how you have superheroes you look up to, the EPA is a superhero for our planet that we can all appreciate and support!
