Data.gov

Less than 2 months into beta, Trash Backwards is now being featured on the Data.gov website, a site created by the U.S./Federal Government as part of the Obama Administration to make government more transparent to its citizens.  Trash Backwards is one of only two web-based applications featured on the site.  http://www.data.gov/communities/node/76941/tools-apps

In addition, the State of Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has included Trash Backwards on their website, in their Zero Waste program.  http://www.ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?a=2714&q=437870&depNav_GID=1645

These endorsements are great first year achievements and we’re all looking forward to more of these public-private partnerships in 2013.
