"The New Green Economy: Aligning Science|Education|Markets"

A friend of mine is attending the New Green Economy conference in DC. He made a "status" update on Facebook.

"... get this.. The EPA has a booth here. However, they contracted what seems to be a private marketing firm to represent them, rather than one of their own employees!!!! What does this mean?

Here's the kicker. The conference is in the Ronald Regan building - RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO EPA HEADQUARTERS!!!"
