Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Facilitate responsible use of chemicals to protect human and ecological health.

We work at the interface between science and policy to reduce use of harmful chemicals in consumer products and building materials to protect human health and the environment. We motivate and participate in scientific research; work with scientists to share their research results with government, standards bodies, and other decision makers; and convene diverse high-level stakeholders to effect change in the public interest. Additionally, we educate designers, retailers, manufacturers, and institutional purchasers to empower them to reduce the use of entire classes of chemicals of concern in the products they produce, sell, or buy. Our approach has proven successful at the local, national, and international level for reducing the use of harmful chemicals.

IRS990/Desc0The Six Classes is our overarching program. The Six Classes Approach is an innovative strategy to educate decision makers to reduce the use of the most harmful classes or families of chemicals in consumer products and move to safer alternatives. By focusing on entire classes or families of chemicals the common problem of regrettable substitution can be prevented. All too often when a toxic chemical is phased out after years of scientific research and advocacy, the substitute is a chemical cousin with similar properties and similar toxicity. See our accomplishments below and visit www.greensciencepolicy.org for more information. The Six Classes of chemicals of concern are: flame retardants; highly fluorinated chemicals (PFASs); antimicrobials; bisphenols & phthalates; organic solvents; and certain metals. We inform and motivate decision makers to ask when a chemical is in the Six Classes, Do we need this chemical, given the potential for harm? And if the chemical is indeed necessary, safer substitutes should be developed. For more information, see www.SixClasses.org. Key Highlights of our work: Reducing the use of families of chemicals containing endocrine disruptors and other toxics, such as: Flame Retardants: oOur work contributed to the 2013 update of Californias furniture flammability standard, which has reduced use of harmful flame retardants in furniture and baby products across the US and Canada while improving fire safety. In 2016, we continued to support the transition to this standard and worked with our non-profit, industry, and government partners to prevent proposed new standards that could once again require toxic and unnecessary flame retardants in U.S. furniture. oWe continue to work with scientists, engineers, and building professionals to improve building codes so that use of halogenated flame retardants in foam plastic building insulation can be safely reduced. In 2016, we designed and carried out research and testing of different insulation materials and compiled technical documentation in support of possible building code revisions. We plan to publish the results of our testing in 2017. In 2016, we also co-submitted and supported a proposal to update U.S. building codes, which was not approved. oIn collaboration with other NGOs and research institutions, we are evaluating changes in household levels of and exposures to flame retardants when a major source of the chemicals (upholstered furniture) is removed from the home. In 2016, we helped recruit participants to two parallel studies and facilitated the replacement of participants furniture with flame-retardant free furniture. oWe are working to prevent unnecessary international flammability standards that would lead to the use of toxic flame retardants without providing a fire safety benefit. In 2015 we helped prevent six such standards for electronics casings. In 2016, we built a team of expert consultants to monitor flammability committees where flame retardant manufacturers are active and watch for any proposals that might lead to the increased use of these harmful chemicals. Highly fluorinated Chemicals oOur scientific papers and policy work beginning in 2014 is bringing the extreme persistence and harm of the class of highly fluorinated chemicals to large purchasers, retailers, manufacturers, and the military and is contributing to their decisions to reduce these chemicals use. In 2016, we co-authored a scientific paper tracing highly fluorinated chemicals in the water supply of six million Americans to production facilities, military bases, and airports. oWe have conducted research demonstrating the widespread presence of highly fluorinated chemicals in food contact materials. In 2016, we educated restaurants and retailers and other supply chain stakeholders about these results and discussed possible healthier alternatives. Communicating scientific consensus on chemical classes of concern: We continue to convene scientists internationally, co-author

IRS990ScheduleA/Form990ScheduleAPartVIGrp/ExplanationTxt0In 2012 the 501c3 organization known as the WELL Network reorganized and became the Green Science Policy Institute GSPI because the two organizations had the same mission, ideals and goals and GSPI had the technical knowledge and vigor to make the goals come to reality. GSPI had formerly been fiscally sponsored by another organization. During 2013 and most of 2014 GSPI was in transition from the former fiscal sponsor to the current status as a 501c3 and the income received during this time was from grants applied for and received under the fiscal sponsorship agreement. GSPI began receiving donations and grants into the 501c3 that had previously been known as Well Network in late 2014 and did not have any related program expense until 2015. Please note that the GSPI continued to spend down the fiscal sponsor funds from January to June end 2015. The expenses spent down were $213,348.
