National Pollution Prevention Week
WHEREAS, the United States Environmental Protection Agency acknowledges
“National Pollution Prevention Week” in honor of the United States Congress
passing the Pollution Prevention Act in 1990; and
WHEREAS, the Pollution Prevention Act encourages pollution prevention by
reducing or eliminating waste at the source by modifying production processes,
promoting the use of nontoxic or less toxic substances, implementing
conservation techniques, and reusing materials rather than adding them to the
waste stream; and
WHEREAS, the City Council’s Environmental Sustainability Goal includes protecting
the natural environment through integrated natural resource management; and
WHEREAS, the City of Bothell implements programs that aim to reduce and
prevent pollution generated by businesses, residents, and municipal operations
by partnering with the community to protect our environment, including our
wetlands, streams, lakes, and rivers.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mason Thompson, Mayor of Bothell, do hereby proclaim
the week of September 19 – 25, 2022 as “National Pollution Prevention Week”
in the City of Bothell, and call upon all in our community to protect natural
resources by reducing and eliminating sources of pollution.
Signed this 20th day of September, 2022.
