Sector-Based Environmental Assistance and Environmental Policies & Regulations Update for 2009-2010: including TSCA, Toxics, Toxics in Products, and Toxics Use Reduction at the State and Local Level
20 Years of Toxics Use Reduction and Pollution Prevention
In 2009-10 we find ourselves at the 20th anniversary of landmark environmental legislation. Massachusetts’ and Oregon’s Toxics Use Reduction laws were passed in 1989 and the US Pollution Prevention Act in 1990. This is a great opportunity to reflect on the changes that those and similar acts brought to the world of environmental protection, and to look forward, creating a new vision based on today’s challenges.
