Talk:Chem395:February 22 discussion

This is the location for the first meeting of the Environmental Committee of Acme Chemical Company as part of the Chemistry 395 role playing scenario.

Date and time

Based on previous schedules, I'd suggest we meet at 2:00-3:00pm on Wednesday.

Agenda

The recent incident on the plant. Take a look at the newspaper story if you haven't seen it. The EPA people come here on Friday to look at environmental aspects of the incident, and I'd like your thoughts on what we should tell them. Bob will introduce this.

How can we put our environmental plans onto the fast track? I'd like to be able to tell the Chamber of Commerce folks next week that we are really a responsible company, and our plans should help. The main plans include looking at:

• Design for the environment (DFE)
• ISO 14000

In this meeting I'd like Chris to take the lead in talking about DFE, and Jesse should handle ISO 14000.

Discussion

We're about to start. If you have a minute, take a look at [this newspaper story - not good! Once everyone's here, I'll get the ball rolling then ask Bob to say a bit about what happened. Walkerma 13:57, 27 February 2008 (EST)

OK, let's get started. We have the press sensationalizing our recent incident, OSHA fining us, and now the EPA is breathing down our neck. We first have to figure out what to do. Jesse, Chris, are you here now? Walkerma 14:03, 27 February 2008 (EST)
