Ecos

the environmental communique of the states

The purpose of Ecos is to present new ideas in state environmental management - including planning, budgeting and legislation - and to serve as a forum for ideas about the roles of states in protecting the environment.

Ecos is created quarterly by the policy department of The Council of State Governments. Links to recent issues of Ecos are available below.
