Pollution Prevention (P2)

Pollution prevention occurs when raw materials, water, energy, and other resources are used more efficiently; when less harmful substances are substituted for hazardous ones; and when toxic substances are eliminated from the production process.

Everyone can participate in the protection of the environment through the choices we make every day. In business we can find and use alternative, less hazardous chemicals, or use smaller amounts and only when absolutely necessary.

At home, we can prevent pollution by recycling, riding the bus or a bicycle instead of driving, using non-toxic cleaning products, and handling insect and weed problems without pesticides. Also, we can make every effort to conserve energy and water.

In addition to protecting the planet, we’re also protecting our own health!
