The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded a $412,327 Pollution Prevention (P2) Grants Program grant to the Washington State Department of Ecology to provide technical assistance to Hispanic/Latino communities and 40 convenience stores in central Washington. The project will develop and facilitate community listening sessions to understand the current market of safer consumer products, create outreach toolkits for community-based organizations to assist convenience stores, and develop marketing resources to help stores promote safer product sales. The project aims to reduce barriers and increase the ability of disadvantaged communities to access and use safer products, thereby improving human health and the environment. The Commission on Hispanic Affairs will serve as a sub-recipient, partnering with local organizations to engage the target communities. The project period runs from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2026.
