What We’ll Talk About Today

Current P2 Measurement Systems

Region 10 Aggregation Tool - a closer look

What a National System Could Look Like

Discuss What Role P2Rx Want to Have?

Measurement Systems

Desktop Tracking– NEWMOA– EPA Region 8

Program-Wide Tracking– WA Department of Ecology

Web-Based Regional Aggregation– PPRC

Desktop Tracking

NEWMOA

Region 8

Self-Programmed

Each person enters data from their workstation

Web-Based Regional Aggregation

Roll Up Totals from Tracking Systems Reports Results for Region Applies Calculators and Assumptions for

Highlights Page figures Reports Results for each program entering

data– Can be a used as Tracking System

Region 10 Aggregation Tool

Tell the P2 Story in the Northwest Region

Quantify Environmental/Economic Impact

Express in “Real-World” Terms

How Do We Collect Data?

PPRC Collects Readily Available– Awards/Recognition Programs– P2 Planning Requirements– Case Studies

Distributed Data Input– Regional, State and Local Programs Track Results

and “Roll-Up” Totals

Data Input

Screen Shots

Data Input Pages

Reports

Aggregated Reports for the Region– Agency Managers– Legislators– Business Leaders

Reports for Each Program (Inputting Data)

Project/Initiative/Activity Specific

Assumptions/Estimations

See Handout (back)

Estimated Dollar Values Applied to Raw Data

Conclusion

Tell the P2 Story– Environmental and Economic Impact– Approaches/Activities that Work– Business Case for Change

Influence Funding Decisions

Determine Activity Effectiveness – when we can draw conclusions

What Could a National System Look Like?

State and locals use desktop tracking systems– They choose – NEWMOA, Region 8, Develop Own

Regional P2Rx Centers act as repository of desktop “totals” and aggregate for region

NPPR writes annual results/outcomes report based on regional aggregated information

A Vision of How a National Results System Might Work

Desktop Tracking Systemsexample: NEWMOA P2 & Compliance Measurement (www.newmoa.org/Newmoa/htdocs/prevention/metrics/)example: EPA Region 8 (more information: Linda Walters, 303-312-6385)

Regional Data Aggregationexample: Region 10 P2 Results Measurement Tool (www.pprc.org/measure/reports)example: Region 7 P2 Results Measurement Tool Demonstration Site (www.p2ric.org/measurement/index.cfm)

National P2 Results Reportexample: NPPR Report, “An Ounce of Pollution Prevention is Worth Over 167 Billion Pounds of Cure: A Decade of Pollution Prevention Results 1990-2000”

Discussion

What role does P2Rx want to play? Do we want to fund activities with current

sources of grant funds? Should we make a public statement about our

position? What federal, regional or local issues have you

identified with undertaking measurement activities?
