Advancing Environmental Justice Through Pollution Prevention: a Report Developed from the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council Meeting of December 9-13, 2002 U.s. Environmental Protection Agency

This Report represents the efforts of the NEJAC on the topic of Advancing Environmental Justice through Pollution Prevention to identify and discuss the myriad of opportunities in applying pollution prevention to benefit environmental justice communities. Aspects of the issues related to the relationship between pollution prevention and environmental justice are covered in a consensus report. The individual perspectives of each of the four stakeholder groups - communities, tribes, business & industry, and government- are also contained in this Report. The NEJAC would like to acknowledge the many individuals and groups that have already shared their experience and expertise.
