EPA’s Smart Sectors program is a national effort to partner with the regulated community to achieve better environmental outcomes. To advance this goal, EPA is hosting a series of sector-specific forums across the U.S, to better understand business practices, work collaboratively with the regulated community, and explain environmental regulations and the regulatory process in simple terms. EPA will also be seeking information about best practices in various industries and looking for opportunities to recognize companies that are going beyond compliance. Sectors identified for initial efforts in EPA Region 8 include: Agriculture and Food/Beverage Production; Mining and Oil and Gas; and Outdoor Recreation/Tourism. Additional sectors may be added over time.

Kevin Durio releases ‘Naked Fitness I: Revealing the “Bare” Truth About Your Health & Fitness’
BOERNE, Texas – After 20 years in the fitness business, Kevin Durio wanted to make sense of what he considers as “the myths and foolish junk” that is being put out in fitness circles. This objective prompted Durio to write “Naked Fitness I: Revealing the "Bare" Truth About Your Health & Fitness” (published by Lulu), a book series about building a solid foundation of fitness for living and longevity.
The book shares an easy-to-follow and truly simplified fitness guide for both men and women. Its aim is to take the myth and some of the fear and hesitation out of starting a fitness routine, joining a gym or just sorting through all the junk in the fitness world. It outlines the four foundations that are extremely important if one is to be “totally fit.” These are physical fitness, spiritual fitness, financial fitness and mental fitness.
“I wrote this book to share with you my belief that these four foundations are the pathway to a really healthy and more complete life,” Durio says. “It is my wish that you will enjoy reading it and find something valuable you can use as well.”
“Naked Fitness I: Revealing the "Bare" Truth About Your Health & Fitness” aims to make readers realize that fitness does not come in a pill or a can or food mailed to them. They have to be more engaged than that. “Fitness will take discipline of eating clean and exercising. There is no other way around it. Moreover, it is actually a lot easier to do it right than most people think,” Durio adds.
