Citizen training features internationally-recognized pollution prevention expert

Are you tired of industrial odors wrecking your home life? Do you want some answers about your industrial neighbors? Ohio Citizen Action is planning a one-day event, Saturday, March 28, to share techniques Ohio neighbors have used to win pollution prevention investments from companies. Bob Pojasek, an internationally-recognized pollution prevention expert, and other trainers will help you develop skills to challenge Ohio's worst polluters and win. Pojasekwill share his expertise in getting companies to reduce pollution and save money at the same time. Pojasek has been working with companies on business sustainability for 35 years and has been recognized as a “Pollution Prevention Champion” by the National Pollution Prevention Round Table in the United States.

The Good Neighbor Campaign Training Project will give regular citizens information and training to hold their industrial neighbors accountable and provide valuable networking opportunities with grassroots organizers. Two field trips following the day-long training will provide hands-on experience in research and community organizing. Participants at the March 28 event will have an opportunity to sign up for one or both of the field trips.
