Sustainable Development and Pollution Prevention

Sustainable development and sustainability are concepts promoted as the basis for sound future development and economic growth, and they are terms shaping much of the mainstream environmental movement. Pollution prevention (P2) should be recognized as a core part of sustainable development and long term planning. Fusing these two movements or world-views can make both more successful in solving environmental problems.  P2 approaches and technologies can assist business and  communities in implementing sustainability.
