The most amazing resource I've found on the web recently is the WRPPN's TOPIC TOOLS database. A Topic Hub is intended to provide a topic-specific guide to collected resources about the topic available and accessible from a browser connection to the internet. A Topic Hub provides a web-based guide to the resources specific to a particular subject, i.e., it is a "subject-specific resource guide." Additionally, the guide serves a particular user or set of users, in this case the P2 Specialists and their clients. WRPPN Topic HubsTM:

Auto Repair

Electronic Waste

Hospitality

These online topic Hubs contain WHERE to go to, DESCRIPTIONS of typical material inputs and wastes produced in the automotive repair industry. Included in this section are factsheets and regulation resources to help assess best management practices (BMP's) for a typical automotive repair shop, a GLOSSARY of terms, and REFERENCE DOCUMENTS.

	NOTE to my readers: We provide resource links to help you protect and nurture your natural resources. Tip: when you contact suppliers in person, online, by phone or email...please ask them about alternatives that are sustainable, green, or habitat-healthy. By asking, we advocate for better protection of our natural resources. Thank you, Carolyn.
