Why is Pollution Prevention important?
Pollution prevention (P2) is reducing or eliminating pollution at the source. P2 is more effective than treating air, water, or land after it has been contaminated because treatment is costly and fails to get to the root of the problem.
As a consumer, the environmental consequences of your actions are often not immediately obvious, but you are making an impact on the earth. By making a few changes to your daily routine you can reduce the amount of pollution you generate, improve environmental quality, reduce hazards in your home, and save money.
