letters of support for no flame retardants in insulation below grade

Hi SDLers! I hope early fall is finding you well.

There is a current opportunity to make a difference in the campaign to reduce use of toxic flame retardants.

Arlene Blum and the Green Science Policy Institute, whom many of you know, are currently organizing a campaign of support for the CA State Fire Marshal's proposal to allow building insulation without added flame retardants below grade.

I've attached a suggested template for A&D firms to use, and GSPI have additional templates available for other sectors. Letters should be sent to the California Building Standards Commission by COB October 22nd. Their address and email are:

California Building Standards Commission
2525 Natomas Park Drive, Suite 130
Sacramento, CA 95833-2936

Email: cbsc@dgs.ca.gov
CC: dennis.mathisen@fire.ca.gov
BCC: swati@GreenSciencePolicy.org

For questions or mutual encouragement, please post here, reach out to me, and/or Swati Rayasam at GSPI, swati@GreenSciencePolicy.org

If you prefer to sign on to GSPI's letter, contact Swati by October 18.

Thanks!
