The booth is in Expo Hall 3 at the Home Show. This well-attended event often has an <br />attendance of over 18,000 people and is <br />a great way to interact with community <br />members. The home show runs Mar. 12 - <br />15 at the Lane Events Center. For the <br />home show schedule, visit <br />www.eugenehomeshow.com. <br /> <br />This will be the seventh year that an <br />interactive booth, created and staffed by <br />the Lane Pollution Prevention Coalition <br />(Lane P2C) will be featured in the Expo <br />Hall. Lane P2C is an interagency group <br />that works together to share information <br />and inform and educate residents about <br />pollution prevention tips. These agencies <br />include the City of Eugene’s Stormwater <br />and Wastewater Management programs, <br />City of Springfield Environmental <br />Services, Department of Environmental <br />Quality, Lane County Public Works <br />Recycling and Household Hazardous <br />Waste programs, Springfield Utility Board, Lane Regional Air Protection Agency, and Eugene Water & Electric Board. The <br />City’s Stormwater Management Program focuses on a commitment to protect local waterways while promoting <br />environmental stewardship. <br /> <br />Many products are potentially toxic when used incorrectly. Understanding “signal” words such as caution, warning, and <br />danger can help residents make safer choices when purchasing and using products. In addition, proper disposal is <br />important with yard, automotive and cleaning products, pharmaceuticals and more. <br /> <br />The information station will have handouts on safer product choices, disposal options and a range of other relevant topics. <br />Staff from partner agencies will be available to answer questions. Booth visitors who spin the wheel of knowledge will have <br />the option of entering a drawing with multiple prizes donated by local businesses and several agencies. <br /> <br />For more information, please contact Kathy Eva, public information specialist for the Stormwater Management Program, at <br />541-682-2739 or visit www.eugene-or.gov/happyrivers. Pollution prevention information is also available at <br />www.lanep2c.org. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />March 12, 2015 <br />
