Public Resources and Links
- California Berkley Green Chemistry Center: The Green Chemistry Center work to bring about a generational transformation in society's production and use of chemicals and materials. Embedding the principles of green chemistry into science, markets, and public policy will provide the foundation for safeguarding human health and ecosystems well into the future, and it will provide a cornerstone for a sustainable, clean energy economy.
- Oregon Green Chemistry: University of Oregon's Green Chemistry website contains on green chemistry curriculum, research programs, database of educational materials, workshop on incorporating green chemistry into the undergraduate curriculum and our textbook on Greener Organic Chemistry.
- Yale Green Chemistry: The Green Chemistry Department at Yale work to advance sustainability by catalyzing the effectiveness of the Green Chemistry and Green Engineering community. Green Chemistry and Green Engineering represent the fundamental building blocks of sustainability. Working in these disciplines, chemists and engineers are creating the scientific and technological breakthroughs that will be crucial to the future success of the human economy.
- Carnegie Mellon Green Chemistry: The Institute for Green Science has been established at Carnegie Mellon University as a research, education and development center in which a holistic approach to sustainability science is being developed.
- University of Massachusetts Lowell: The Lowell Center for Sustainable Production promotes communities, workplaces, and products to be healthy, humane, and respectful of natural systems. The Lowell Center develops practical solutions to environmental and health problems, helping to advance changes that lead to a safer, more secure, and sustainable planet.We promote environmentally sound systems of production and consumption by using rigorous science and innovative strategies to develop practical solutions. The Chemicals Policy and Science Initiative (CPSI) is a project of the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. The Initiative seeks to: significantly advance the dialog around chemicals policy reform in the US; assist in the development of sustainable chemicals management outside the US; encourage the development and use of safer alternatives by creating and promoting a comprehensive framework for alternatives assessment; and identify tools and appropriate ways of assisting green chemistry innovation and safer management of chemicals throughout the supply chain.
- Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families: The Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families coalition represents more than 11 million individuals and includes parents, health professionals, advocates for people with learning and developmental disabilities, reproductive health advocates, environmentalists and businesses from across the nation. The coalition of diverse groups is united by their common concern about toxic chemicals in our homes, places of work, and products we use every day.
- General Accounting Office Review of EPA Chemical Regulation: GAO reviewed EPA's efforts to (1) control the risks of new chemicals not yet in commerce, (2) assess the risks of existing chemicals used in commerce, and (3) publicly disclose information provided by chemical companies under TSCA. "Chemical Regulation: Options Exist to Improve EPA's Ability to Assess Health Risks and Manage Its Chemical Review Program," U.S. General Accountability Office, June 13, 2005.
