For more than a decade now, EPA has joined governments, communities and citizens to encourage Pollution Prevention (P2) efforts.  Pollution prevention measures can protect the environment before pollution even begins, save energy and natural resources and leave our homes, schools and workplaces cleaner and safer.  Recycling is great, but preventing pollution in the first place saves money and protects the environment.
