“The wood treatment industry and the EPA finally reached the common sense conclusion that the best way to protect kids from arsenic wood was not to affix a poison label to it, but to eliminate it,” said Paul Bogart of the Healthy Building Network.

Arsenic-treated wood is banned or strictly regulated in several nations in the world, including Japan, Germany, Australia, and others. Despite evidence that arsenic was leaching into groundwater and contaminating land, each year nearly 6.4 billion board feet of wood treated with a chromium-copper-arsenic (CCA) formula was created, fueling the growth of a $4 billion industry.

Years of effort to put more stringent restrictions on arsenic-treated wood in the United States had failed due to the Environmental Protection Agency’s policy to allow industries to largely police themselves. Even in the era of voluntary compliance and self-monitoring, the relationship between the wood treatment industry and the EPA stands out as particularly cozy. Historically, efforts to put more stringent restrictions on arsenic-treated wood in response to mounting scientific evidence of its dangers were thwarted by EPA’s exemption of treated wood from hazardous waste laws and a voluntary labeling program that both the agency and the wood treatment industry publicly acknowledged as a failure.

The Healthy Building Network’s campaign against arsenic-treated wood began by initiating a public dialogue about its toxicity, especially to children, and the availability of safer alternatives.  HBN, its allies in environmental and public health organizations publicized existing scientific research that found arsenic rubbed off playground equipment onto children’s hands and was absorbed and ingested when children put their hands into their mouths. HBN and others filed a petition with the Consumer Product Safety Board urging it to ban arsenic-treated wood from playgrounds on health and safety grounds.

President Obama has rightfully linked our economic recovery to our environmental recovery. But we need to break the link between the corporate behavior that drove us to the brink of financial ruin in the first place and that which continues to drive us towards ecological ruin.

Like the economic collapse, our ecological collapse is being fueled by industries creating widespread social risk in their reckless and dangerous pursuit of short-term profits. What’s worse, their modus operandi includes massive public relations campaigns, philanthropy and lobbying efforts that portray their self-interested behavior as part of the societal solution. Think Clean Coal.

In the green building movement, the leading example of this behavior is the rebranding of virtually every building material as a “green” product, officially recognized by one label or another. The green label craze resembles the virus-like uptake of the financial assets known as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), the so-called derivatives that brought down the financial house. CDOs purported to apportion risk, protect conservative investors and assure long-term economic stability. But CDOs, like green labels, were really a Trojan horse.
