What Does Pollution Prevention Measurement Mean?
P2 Grantees: Pollution prevention and source reduction grants support state and tribal organizations that facilitate the adoption of pollution prevention practices by businesses, government, universities, hospitals, and other organizations. These grants produce annual environmental results in pounds of hazardous materials reduced, BTUs of energy saved, gallons of water saved and dollars saved (as required in the EPA strategic plan). In 2006, the Pollution Prevention Program began publicly reporting the environmental results of grants, on an individual grant basis and on a regional and an aggregate basis.
