Pollution Prevention Week

Michigan Pollution Prevention Week - September 16 - 22, 2024

The State of Michigan invites 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 businesses to show case or share ideas about 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.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer supports P2 Week as an opportunity for Michigan government, citizenry, and business to take actions that foster a prosperous and sustainable future. Many businesses and corporations currently participate in the EGLE's voluntary pollution prevention partnerships and initiatives.

Join us in participating in P2 activities during P2 Week this year and encourage your neighbors and colleagues to participate as well! Don't forget to check out the resources provided below for information on P2 Week activities, and P2 programs to make every week P2 Week.
