P2 Community
From P2RxWiki
Introduction
The P2 Community consists of a large body of individuals and organizations working to improve methods of pollution prevention. The specific listservs that the SustainUpdates project monitors are used in order to identify emerging topics of interest to certain areas of pollution prevention. They are also used in order to provide feedback and expertise regarding these issues so that the community can collaborate with each other and identify the most effective methods for handling them. The listservs listed below are only a small portion of the P2 Community but will be the focus audience for the SustainUpdates project.
