The Kansas State University Pollution Prevention Institute was recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 7 for notable achievements and innovations in EPA's 2020 1xbet online games login Recovery Challenge because of its promotion of EPA's sustainable management of 1xbet online games login principles.
"The EPA 1xbet online games login Recovery Challenge Award winners demonstrate how preventing 1xbet online games login waste and diverting excess wholesome 1xbet online games login away from landfills and to people is important for the environment and for communities," said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. "Their accomplishments serve as excellent examples to other companies, governments, organizations and communities, particularly because 1xbet online games login is the single largest category of waste. We have an obligation to follow the lead of our award winners, not only for the sake of 35 million 1xbet online games login -insecure Americans, but also to prevent emissions that contribute to climate change."
Through the 1xbet online games login Recovery Challenge, EPA has worked with organizations and businesses for the past decade to set data-driven goals, implement targeted strategies to reduce wasted 1xbet online games login in their operations, and report results to compete for recognition.
The K-State Pollution Prevention Institute provided 30 outreach presentations and held a 1xbet online games login recovery recognition event while providing 1xbet online games login recovery-related technical assistance to an additional 50 organizations.
"The Pollution Prevention Institute's team is passionate about providing 1xbet online games login recovery assistance and awareness programming that results in social, economic and environmental impact," saidNancy Larson, institute director.
With the institute's consultation, organizations donated 48.5 tons of excess 1xbet online games login to pantries to feed people and to provide animal feed to farmers. The organizations also composted 16 tons of 1xbet online games login waste, diverting this waste from Kansas landfills.
