Question 1: Should California adopt the European Union’s Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (EU REACH) or the Canadian Domestic Substances list (DSL)?
Question 2: What are the three best concepts/implementation ideas from EU REACH that should be integrated into a California green chemistry program?
Question 3: What are the three best concepts/implementation ideas from the Canadian DSL that should be integrated into a California green chemistry program?
Question 4: Are there parts of EU REACH or Canadian DSL that California should avoid?
Question 5: In a global Internet, web-based world, building on the policies of EU REACH and the Canadian DSL, what is the next level in cradle-to-cradle green chemistry policy? (Beyond EU/Canada)
