Bean Counting for P2
Audree Miller
Pollution Prevention Program Coordinator
Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality
Hello
I’m Audree Miller, the P2 Coordinator for the Ark. Dept. of Env. Quality.
ADEQ’s P2 Program essentially started in July of 2003 when I came on board.  The first couple of years, 50% of my job was to develop a P2 program and the other half was coordinating the agency’s comment letters for NEPA.
I started with a scant P2 web page and went from there.  Like my counterpart in Oklahoma, I am the only person in the program.
I really had no idea what I had gotten myself into when I accepted the position of P2 Coordinator.  I don’t think I would have made it without the P2 Roundtable.  They have been my P2 educational lifeline.
P2 is full of challenges, with lots of ups and downs, but overall, it’s a rewarding field, and I really do think the work of state P2 Programs are making a difference.
