 | Pollution Prevention WeekPollution Prevention Week is the third week of September each year. This year it is September 21-27, 2026 using the theme: "A Better Tomorrow Starts with Pollution Prevention Today” The 2026 P2 Week picture has been designed by Mackenzie Cruz. "Hello! My name is Mackenzie Cruz. I’m a rising senior at Elon University, studying Environmental and Ecological Sciences. Growing up in New Jersey, I have been lucky to experience our beautiful environment from the highlands to the pine barrens and the shore. I am working towards a career in environmental education and outreach, so I believe pollution prevention is so important in protecting our ecosystems." |
