What is Clean Production?

Clean Production is not just about producing things in factories in a "clean or cleaner way" as some people think. Instead it is a holistic way of looking at how our design and consumption of products is causing severe ecological problems. Clean production offers a way to reverse our current non-sustainable use of materials and energy.

-From Rachel's Environment & Health News, "News and resources for environmental justice." Providing understandable scientific information about human health and the environment. Peter Montague (National Writers Union, UAW Local 1981/AFL-CIO)
