GRSP Subcommittees Archive

In early 2011, DTSC and the Green Ribbon Science Panel (GRSP) formed three subcommittees to more deeply discuss issues related to DTSC’s Green Chemistry Program. The subcommittees met via teleconference twice prior to the May 5-6, 2011 meeting of the entire Panel. At that time, the entire GRSP discussed the issues and provided advice to DTSC. All GRSP subcommittee meetings were open to the public, and included opportunities for the public to make comments to the GRSP.
