This event, a project of a BU class and the nonprofit Quiet Communities, was an experiment in framing a highly contentious issue in terms of the possibility for constructive engagement, that worked.  Participants from many perspectives, representatives of communities receiving high doses of lead from aircraft, and of those flying above them, local and federal governments, and managers of airports, found agreement on the common goal of eliminating lead as soon as possible.  Though the regulatory system has begun moving to require the removal of lead the conversation revealed pathways to more rapid progress.  An alignment of interests, rather than a battle between sides, was made clear: aircraft will have cleaner engines when lead no longer fuels their works as well as our skies.  How do we bring new unleaded fuels quickly to market?  What immediate steps can we take to reduce emissions until we eliminate them?  This event may be of interest not just to those concerned with leaded aviation gas but because of the method of framing the issues and participation that produced civil and productive interactions.  The conference was preceded and will be followed by solicitation of ideas and a report on what people provided, which will be shared with members of Congress, the Department of Transportation, the FAA, EPA, and others who expressed interest in this event or attended or spoke, as well as those visiting this page.
