P2 Week – Just Around the Corner!
In preparation for Pollution Prevention Week (P2 Week), observed Sept. 16-20, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering resources to help organizations promote their work in preventing pollution. This year’s theme for P2 Week is “Together We Are One Planet,” emphasizing the importance of preventing pollution at home, in communities, in industry and beyond to protect human health and the environment.

P2 is essential for protecting public health and improving environmental conditions particularly around disadvantaged communities that have long been overburdened by pollution. P2 Week is an opportunity to spread the word about the importance of P2 and the efforts that P2 practitioners do to help reduce exposure to toxic chemicals, conserve natural resources and reduce cleanup and financial costs for businesses. Check out the resources and daily themes here: EPA P2 Week Resources
