SUMMARY:IC2 Safer Alternatives Webinar: Learning the IC2 Safer Alternatives Wiki
DESCRIPTION:Pam Eliason\, MA TURI\, provided a brief tutorial on the IC2 Safer Alternatives Wiki\, with an interactive Q&A session. \nThe IC2 Safer Alternatives Wiki is designed to provide state technical assistance providers and chemical policy makers with a dynamic tool for the developing field of alternatives assessment. Led by the efforts of the Safer Alternatives Workgroup and developed collaboratively by members of state governmental agencies and affiliated groups\, the wiki serves as forum to create a set of flexible\, adaptive steps that follow a shared understanding of what constitutes a safer alternative to a chemical of concern.

SUMMARY:IC2 Webinar: Green Chemistry: Principles and State Leadership
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Jim Hutchison (University of Oregon – Department of Chemistry) provided background on the concepts and benefits of “green chemistry\,” how he has incorporated these principles into his own research in nanoscience\, and the work of the University of Oregon’s Green Product Design Network. \nChris Affeldt (Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Environment) described Michigan’s “Promotion of Green Chemistry for Sustainable Economic Development and Protection of Public Health” Executive Directive\, signed in 2006\, and the steps Michigan state agencies have taken to incorporate education and promotion of green chemistry in their operations.

SUMMARY:IC2 Safer Alternatives Webinar: Considering Technical Feasibility when conducting Alternatives Assessments
DESCRIPTION:In 2010\, the Maine Department of Environmental Protection requested support in determining the availability of safer alternatives to replace the use of brominated flame retardants (BFRs)\, and specifically decabromodiphenyl ether (decaBDE)\, as flame retardants in plastic pallets. \nThe webinar will feature John James of ME DEP\, who will discuss the process they used to identify appropriate technical criteria for this specific application that would allow them to determine if a safer alternative would be technically feasible. The webinar will also feature Bob Kerr and Ken Soltys of Pure Strategies\, the group that did the work to identify alternatives\, about how they determined which alternatives would meet the performance requirements for plastic pallets. \nA copy of the presentation by John James is available for download here \nA copy of the presentation by Pure Strategies is available for download here

SUMMARY:IC2 Safer Alternatives Webinar: Defining "Safer"
DESCRIPTION:Participants in this IC2 web conference discussed how different states and others define the terms “safe” and “safer” in the context of a safer alternatives assessment and how those definitions influence the scope and outcomes of an alternatives assessment study.

SUMMARY:IC2 Webinar: Safer Alternatives
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this web conference will be to provide an overview of the States Alternatives Assessment Wiki. This wiki has been developed by an ad hoc group of state environmental agency staff under the leadership of Pam Eliason\, Toxics Use Reduction Institute (TURI)\, University of Massachusetts Lowell. \nThe intent of the Safer Alternatives Wiki site is to create a set of flexible\, adaptive steps that follow a shared understanding of what constitutes an evaluation of potentially safer alternatives to a chemical of concern. The goal is not to dictate precisely how to conduct the assessment\, but rather to lay out basic steps generally agreed upon\, and to provide a set of resources to draw from when an alternatives assessment is performed. The Wiki is being developed collaboratively by members of agencies and organizations from the following states: \n\nCalifornia\nConnecticut\nIllinois\nMaine\nMassachusetts\nMichigan\nMinnesota\nNew York\nOregon\nWashington\n\nThe States Alternatives Assessment Protocol Wiki is designed to provide guidance\, examples\, and resources for states interested in conducting or promoting alternatives assessments. \nSpeaker: Pam Eliason\, TURI. Pam will demonstrate the user interface\, navigation\, and content of the Wiki. The web conference will include time for questions and discussion about the development of the Wiki\, what’s left to be done\, and its relationship to the work of the IC2.
