In contrast, the Pollution Prevention Act was designed to attack the root of the problem, thus revolutionizing environmental policy. The Act sets forth guidelines to ensure that pollution entering the environment is reduced or eliminated. The purpose of the Ames P2 award program is to recognize employees who have made a substantial contribution to reducing or preventing pollution or environmental impacts. The scope of the award includes projects that prevent pollution or otherwise reduce environmental impacts. Any Ames employee may apply for this award.
Civil servants are eligible for a cash honorarium.
The awards will be presented later this year. All Ames employees are encouraged to participate in the P2 award program. This award is a great opportunity to show the Ames community how you and your colleagues have made a positive difference by reducing negative impacts on our environment.
