Current State of the Article
Everything that is mentioned in the article is relevant to the topic of pollution prevention. However, the article mentions various topics and their relation to pollution prevention without fully explaining the similarities and differences between the two. For example, the concept of "cleaner production" is referenced as a concept similar to pollution prevention; there is no further discussion on "cleaner production" though. This remark, along with various others that litter the article, distracts from the main topic of the article, pollution prevention. The information that is presented is relatively broad, and there are no specific dates given regarding actions that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken. Some of the content needs to be updated in this respect. The article is missing details about pollution prevention, such as a specific definition, actions that have been taken, and modern examples. There is hardly any scientific information presented. The article does, however, include a few links to related Wikipedia articles, which is helpful in further comprehension of the topic. Overall, the article needs more detail based on thorough research. A deep understanding of pollution prevention is critical before any editing may take place.

Recycling is P2?
Why is recycling listed here? This is not P2 (see reference]). Thanks Hu Gadarn 23:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC) Someone should make a page about what causes pollution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.248.247 (talk) 18:13, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

 * That's ok, . Writing well for the encyclopedia requires time and research. Perhaps you could Google the term 'pollution prevention' and find WP:RELIABLE sources that would support new content, and would be more interesting and specific than your initial edits. We synthesize previous research, rather than writing summations of things we've read or discussed elsewhere, or our opinions about them. The article certainly could use expansion. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:29, 27 December 2017 (UTC)

I have been talking to a helper and I asked him several question on making pages. He suggested this page needs a lot of information so I started seeing about this and tried edits. Im really sorry because I'm a rookie. I started a week a go or so. Hellomanboys123 (talk) 04:32, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I understand. Explain to your helper that Wikipedia can not accept content unless it's properly sourced and written in a neutral tone. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:35, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I tried to rewrite your last addition, and another experienced editor correctly removed the content anyway . 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 04:37, 27 December 2017 (UTC)
