| California celebrated its first statewide Pollution Prevention (P2) Week October 4-10, 1993. The celebration coincided with the first National P2 Week. It has since become an annual event dedicated to education and action focused on reducing pollution at the source. During National P2 week, California partners with local governments, environmental and economic development programs, industry associations, and environmental groups to present events that increase public awareness of pollution prevention. National P2 Week is a time for consumers and businesses throughout the state to learn and recognize that it makes both common and economic sense to protect our environment by using fewer toxic chemicals, reducing water and energy consumption, generating less solid and hazardous waste, and reducing air pollution. DTSC’s pollution prevention programs deliver guidance to businesses on implementing P2 practices and provide opportunities for consumers to make their own P2 impact. | Check out this year's P2 Video Contest!
