Whereas, Pollution prevention can improve environmental conditions; protect the health and safety of workers; strengthen our community; and provide an assurance for the future; and
Whereas, Pollution prevention can increase industrial efficiency, competitiveness, and help Michigan develop a “bio-economy” and green business practices to increase the adoption of clean and pollution-free technology that can save businesses money; and
Whereas, By focusing on pollution prevention, Michigan can meet the challenges of having healthy communities, clean watersheds, efficient government, and competitive businesses; and
Whereas, Pollution Prevention Week is an opportunity for government to join forces with businesses, industries, environmental groups, community organizations, and the citizens of Michigan to ensure a prosperous and sustainable future; now, therefore, be it
