What would you do if you were fully funded?

Messages to theEnvironmental Council of States (ECOS)

Do more “helping”. Businesses are terrified of MODOT regulators.

Show leadership on the environment! Give recognition for good work. Promote P2 within every program and staff your overall P2 program so you can quantify the success of the efforts.

Political expediency leads to actions focused on short-term returns and long-term environmental loss and degradation. Be a leader, think P2 and make it happen.

If states/politicians continue to legislate/prioritize reactively, they will continue to miss the boat.

P2 is worthy. It will directly feed allyour priorities if you just think about it and ask how.

Thank you for supporting full funding for pollution prevention programs. We would like to meet with you to discuss our program outcomes and capabilities so that we may assist states better in the future.

More integration among medias. Make P2 the goal, not an afterthought.

You should be the advocates for state’s P2 programs. Beat the drum to EPA, Congress and within state infrastructures.

P2 is the first and most effective/efficient means of environmental stewardship.

Messages to the National Pollution Prevention Roundtable (NPPR)

Educate Congress on what we’re doing so they will fund us more. Get more P2 policy in legislation.

Can you not seek a greater cohesive voice?

You should be the advocate for P2 programs. Beat the drum!

Distribute full appropriation of funds available to programs. Be a voice. Great things are happening! Toot your P2 horn outside the NPPR circle.

Water, both in terms of quality and quantity, is going to become (and in some ways is already) an environmental, political, economic and health issue of paramount concern. As a group, NPPR needs to raise the issue to the media, as well as policymakers, to encourage (demand) effective water conservation methods to ensure continued use of this resource for generations to come.

Businesses need more incentives to reduce resource usage. Unless the reduction is mandated or it creates a large monetary gain, they aren’t willing.

Have an actionable, inspirational, accountable vision. “Have a Triple A Vision,” or “A3 for P2”.

P2 needs an assertive, vocal national voice.

Focus on P2 as prime strategy, not overseas junkets.

I want to continue to support you but don’t see much value. Please do not hold the national conference before or during P2 Intern Training (April-May). Please do not merge the conference with the MEPs! [MEP = Department of Commerce’s Manufacturing Extension Partnerships]
