College students are invited to apply for the 2015 Pollution Prevention Intern Program. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources provides funding for the summer internships and matches volunteer host companies with students. This year, 14 upper-level engineering students helped 14 Iowa host companies reduce waste, conserve water and energy, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the program. Environmental reductions achieved with 2014 intern efforts include:
• 440,276 gallons of water
• 1,351 tons of solid and special waste
• 219 tons of hazardous waste
• 1.5 million kilowatt hours
• 7,316 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents
