[Alissa Leavitt (Green)]

FYI...



Dear Colleagues,

I wanted to make sure that you knew about our upcoming symposium, “Green
Chemistry, Safer Alternatives and Work,” sponsored by CROET at OHSU and
Oregon Health Authority on Friday, June 15 in Portland. I hope that you
will take the opportunity to view the program at *
http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/research/centers-institutes/croet/outreach/green-chemistry-symposium.cfm
*. Keynote speakers include: Dr. Michael Wilson of UC Berkeley and PSU’s
Jennifer Allen. Elizabeth Grossman, known for her environmental blogging in
the Pump Handle among other sources, will be attending this event for
purposes of writing a blog and researching for an upcoming book she is
writing. We are particularly excited about the opportunity to facilitate
discussions on this topic among people with different expertise and subject
interests, including environmental sustainability and workplace health and
safety.

Symposium Objectives
To share the economic and health case for reducing toxic materials in the
workplace. Current global and Oregon policies addressing and impacting use
of toxic materials in the workplace will be briefly summarized. Diverse
workplaces will share success stories and lessons learned in moving towards
safer alternatives.

Thanks for your support! Please contact me if you have questions. We
appreciate your sharing this with others who may be interested in attending.

Best regards,

Dede Montgomery
