Professor Ken Geiser, Director of the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, will talk about the importance of focusing on materials — materials science, resource conservation, hazardous chemicals, green chemistry and toxics use reduction — as a way to advance sustainable forms of production and consumption. Topics will include new directions in chemical and materials policy in Europe, Canada and China and present examples of communities and corporations that are working to implement more effective chemicals policies. Local examples are The Massachusetts Toxics Use Reduction Program and the proposed Safer Alternatives Bill.
