Celebrating Pollution Prevention Week
MnTAP, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the U.S. EPA are celebrating 30 years of pollution prevention (P2) during Pollution Prevention Week, September 21-27! Pollution prevention week is celebrated annually in September to remind everyone about the environmental and economic benefits of P2. P2 refers to avoiding waste and toxic materials from the start, instead of trying to clean them up later.
