The workshops offered an opportunity for people to interact and get to know one another. Business people exchanged ideas with one another. People found that Ecology staff are easier to talk to than they had imagined, and they were glad to have the chance to ask questions. The speakers were informative, human, and humorous. Some of the full day sessions included a mock compliance inspection comedy skit.
Ecology is very pleased that so many people attended our workshops.
We look forward to meeting more of you at the workshops scheduled for January and February 1997. Since 1994, voluntary Snap Shots site visits have helped printers and photo processors statewide. Nearly every shop surveyed liked the technical assistance approach used for Snap Shots. They agreed that Ecology should continue to use this approach for future industry specific campaigns. Snap Shots visits focused on site-specific recommendations to reduce waste generation, improve waste management and help achieve compliance with Ecology's environmental regulations.
