"notice on Green Book: film depiction of historical events may not accurately represent real-life circumstances"
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken steps to clarify its policy regarding the information provided on its Green Book website. The statements apply to all pages in the Green Book, ensuring transparency and avoiding any potential confusion.
First and foremost, the EPA wishes to emphasise that the Green Book website is intended to inform and assist users without making product or service endorsements. The EPA does not endorse any commercial products, services, or organisations referenced on the site.
Secondly, links to non-EPA websites are provided solely for the convenience of users. It is important to note that these links do not constitute or imply EPA approval, endorsement, or responsibility for the linked content. The EPA typically includes disclaimers that the presence of any external link does not imply any official EPA stance or guarantee concerning the information, products, or services found on those sites.
The EPA also disclaims responsibility for the content on non-EPA sites linked from the Green Book. However, the agency will attempt to correct any errors brought to their attention.
It is worth noting that the EPA does not guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of the information on their website. While the agency strives for accuracy, it does not make expressed or implied guarantees about the timeliness and accuracy of the information on the website.
The EPA's website is maintained to enhance public access to information. Reference to specific commercial products, processes, or services does not imply endorsement, recommendation, or favouring by the United States Government. Non-EPA links are provided solely as a pointer to information on topics related to environmental protection.
In summary, the Green Book website makes clear that it is intended to inform the public, and links to external, non-EPA websites are for convenience only and do not imply EPA endorsement. The EPA disclaims responsibility for the content on non-EPA sites linked from the Green Book, and the agency will correct any errors in the information on their website if they are brought to their attention.
