community action grants dirty words zun zun coastal cleanup events
 

SMCWPPP and San Mateo County Environmental Health collaborate on the bi-annual Pollution Prevention Post and ReNews newsletter, published in April for Earth Day and in September for Pollution Prevention Week. It is available in all libraries and city halls. We are discontinuing insertion in local newspapers in an effort to reduce paper waste. To continue receiving it either by email or in print form please contact us at pollutionprevention@co.sanmateo.ca.us or call (650) 599-1549; include your email or mailing address in your message.

You can download current and past issues here, or email pollutionprevention@co.sanmateo.ca.us to get hard copies. We are happy to supply copies for community events and groups to educate residents about reducing pollution.
