E – 1569 Resource Conservation and Recovery
$75.00
Courses Included
This online engineering PDH course describes how local governments can help achieve environmental goals by encouraging source reduction and the reuse of products and materials, as well as composting and recycling wastes generated by their communities. These strategies are collectively known as resource conservation and recovery and have as their aim a reduction in waste management costs, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy consumption. This course describes the process of developing and implementing resource conservation and recovery measures, using real-world examples.
This course is based on the Environmental Protection Agency document, “Resource Conservation and Recovery, A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs” 2012, from the EPA’s Local Government Climate and Energy Strategy Series.
