The State of Michiganinvites you to be a part of Pollution Prevention (P2) Week, by incorporating activities into your daily routine that reduce, reuse and recycle waste. P2 Week,
, is an opportunity for individuals, schools, communities and industries to show case or share ideas on how they reduce waste, are more efficient or reduce energy. Promoting P2 activities at home, work, or school helps to protect the local economy, improve health and reduce energy costs. For P2 ideas please go to www.michigan.gov/deqp2initiatives and click on "P2 Week." Here you will find links to the Governor's proclamations, legislative resolutions, P2 tips, environmental calendars, Sustainable Business Forums, and many other resources. The resources include lists of websites and documents for issues like education, energy efficiency, green building, landscaping, P2 sustainability, and more.
The Governor as well as House and Senate representatives support P2 Week as an opportunity for Michigan government, citizenry, and business to take actions that foster a prosperous and sustainable future. Over 650 businesses and corporations currently participate in voluntary pollution prevention partnerships and initiatives.
