Pointing out a direction for 1996
The role of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) may be changing, based on the US Congress` budget and legislative decisions. While those changes may have profound effects on environmental issues such as public infrastructure funding and remediation standards and procedures, the greatest threats posed for pollution prevention are potential reductions in research funding, private-sector educational and outreach programs and cooperative public/private pollution prevention projects. Fortunately, pollution prevention increasingly is driven less by regulatory compliance than by financial, liability and corporate management objectives. And the concept of pollution prevention -- by any of its various names -- is becoming broader and more creative than ever before.
