The Western Sustainability and Pollution Prevention Network (WSPPN) and The Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) announce the 2012 Used Oil + HHW + WSPPN Training and Conference. This conference brings together federal, state and local agencies; nonprofit organizations; and businesses to share information and attend technical training concerning pollution prevention, resource conservation and the appropriate management of used oil, household hazardous waste, and other toxins.
Conference Goals
- Work Together. Provide insight and experiences related to bringing together the efforts of those groups traditionally focused on governmental programs and those focused more on business programs to find synergies and ways to optimize collaboration.
- Build Unity and Strength. Provide a venue for sharing, inspiring, learning, cross-training and networking for individuals interested in finding solutions among stakeholders within the federal, state, local jurisdictions, non-profits and businesses with changing environmental issues.
- Share Best and Most Promising Practices in the Field. Present new technologies, proven approaches and successes that provide effective and targeted programs for local practitioners to put into practice in the community.
- Support Change Efforts. Offer opportunities to dialogue on models for instituting systemic, programmatic and individual change in order to improve services, while discussing sustainability for what really works.
- View the Landscape. Discuss the current environment; investigate services and programs which directly affect conference attendees and those they serve.
