Pollution Prevention Awards

Every year the Laboratory gives out Pollution Prevention Awards as part of April’s Earth Day activities. Pollution Prevention Awards recognize individuals or teams who are making efforts to minimize workplace impacts on the environment.

The Pollution Prevention Awards Journey

• Step 1
• Pollution Prevention (P2) projects are submitted to LANL's P2 Team. The projects are reviewed and Best in Class Awards and Environmental Stewardship Awards are determined; these are awarded at the P2 Awards Ceremony.
