Community Action for a Renewed Environment or CARE is an initiative designed to establish a series of multi-media, community-based and community-driven projects to reduce toxic pollution.  In 2005 and 2006, EPA solicited proposals for two levels of competivite grants from tribal and local governments and various local organizations, including non-profits, citizens, businesses, schools and community organizations to create collaborative partnerships to address toxics in their local enivronment.

The CARE program will have a National Training Workshop November 15-17, 2006 in Seattle, Washington.  The training workshop is for representatives from the twenty-nine selected CARE community partnerships, EPA staff in headquarters and the Regions working on CARE, state representatives, and selected speakers and trainers.
