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. This 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 (PFAS); antimicrobials; bisphenols & phthalates; organic solvents; and certain metals. Six Classes Accomplishments in 2017: 1): Our landmark "Big Idea" Petition to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) was approved. This petition bans children's products, furniture, mattresses, and electronics cases that contain any member of the class of organohalogen flame retardants. This means our government is using the class approach to ban an entire class of harmful flame retardants rather than regulating the chemicals one at a time - which can lead to the substitution of a similar chemical causing similar health harm. This is a huge step forward for our mission to protect our population's health from the most harmful chemical classes in consumer products. 2) The New Six Classes Short Video Series and Website: We completed a series of four-minute videos to inform decision-Makers and consumers about the six classes of chemicals that are known to harm human health and the environment. Each video summarizes where one of these classes of chemicals is used, associated health problems, a success story, and a list of action to reduce exposure. This knowledge will better equip large purchasers, manufacturers, retailers, designers, and consumers to take the steps needed to limit the use of these problematic chemicals. Reducing the Class of Highly Fluorinated Chemicals (PFAS): A main focus of our work was educating stakeholders and reducing the use of the class of highly fluorinated chemicals, or poly-and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in consumer products and building materials. Accomplishments include: 1) Addressing Drinking water contamination by PFAS: As the knowledge of drinking waster contamination with PFAS across the US increases, we have become a trusted source of information for decision makers in local, state, and federal government. We met with more than forty house and senate staff members, as well as officials at the pentagon. We educated them about the PFAS and avoiding the "regrettable substitution" of a new generation of poorly studied short-chain PFAS for the phased out long-chain chemicals. We have been offering monthly webinars to educate hill staff on new developments around PFAS. We have also provided information to the national governors association, the CA State assembly, the CA Air Resources Board, the city of San Francisco and others in government. Our education of decision makers, our scientific papers and the media generated from them encouraged the EPA and states to set health advisory levels. numerous communities are leaning their drinking water is contaminated, and this problem is now being remedied. 2) Scientists' Letter on the Need for a Coordinated Response to PFAS contamination in US Communities: We authored a peer-reviewed letter calling for coordinated health research in US communities whose drinking water has been polluted by PFAS. The letter was signed by 37 prominent scientists and published in the Journal Environmental Health. We sent the letter to House and Senate offices representing impacted districts, as well as officials at the department of defense and the centers for disease control. We also published a companion Op-Ed in "The Hill". Numerous media interviews, beginning with this letter, provide

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.
