Green Chemistry
If a panel convened by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has its way, California consumers will soon know a lot more about the health effects of chemicals used in everyday products. The idea behind a sweeping 'green' initiative is to reduce the total chemical load in the environment, from production to disposal. We talk with members of the panel about their goals.
Host: Scott Shafer
Guests:
- Bill Magavern, director of the Sierra Club of California
