Are you a local official tasked with achieving environmental goals? How can you encourage resource conservation and recovery? Our online course developed by Dr. Mark P. Rossow, Ph.D., P.E. describes the process of developing and implementing resource conservation and recovery measures through the use of real-world examples. In particular, this course walks through how you can promote source reduction, reuse of products and materials, and the composting and recycling of wastes generated by your communities? Collectively known as resource conservation and recovery, these strategies aim a reduction in waste management costs, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy consumption. This PDH-approved, online engineering course is derived from the EPA document, “Resource Conservation and Recovery: A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs” from the EPA’s Local Government Climate and Energy Strategy Series.
