- Mercury Policy Project
The Mercury Policy Project (MPP) is an organization that works to promote policies to eliminate mercury uses, reduce the export and trafficking of mercury, and significantly reduce mercury exposures at the local, national, and international levels.
History
The Project was co-founded in 1998 by Michael Bender, who is part of a three-member board along with Felice Stadler of the
National Wildlife Federation and Jane Williams of California Communities Against Toxics. [cite web |url= http://www.mercurypolicy.org/org/staff.shtml |title= Staff |work= Mercury Policy Project |year= 2005 |accessdate= 2008-04-29]ee also
