(Salt Lake City) - Sept. 16 marks the start of National Pollution Prevention Week, an event that celebrates and promotes the benefits of pollution prevention. In Utah, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is celebrating the week by offering a free pollution prevention poster to the first 15 people who submit a pollution prevention tip that they plan on using during the week. Their tips will be posted on DEQ's Web site for others to try. To submit a tip, send an e-mail to abrannan@utah.gov.
Also, to give people a few ideas to try, DEQ has designed a calendar that features a pollution prevention tip for each day in September, October and November. These simple tips help keep our environment clean and healthy and build habits that also save time and money. The calendar can be accessed on the Web at www.deq.utah.gov.
"Pollution Prevention Week is all about doing what we can do to prevent pollution. It's more than just recycling. It's preventing the waste from being created in the first place," said Sonja Wallace, DEQ's pollution prevention coordinator.
The theme for Pollution Prevention Week is "Begin Now." By beginning now, people can make a difference in preventing pollution at home, at work, at school and on vacation. Here are a few tips for saving money and helping the environment at the same time.
At Home
At Work
At School
On Vacation
