M9.3: Green Chemistry
l have not seen nor have I heard of green chemistry before. I think it's interesting as it reduces waste, and waste is one of the biggest things we contend with today. I think the video about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch was very interesting and very sad; a stark reminder of how wasteful we are as humans. I couldn't imaging tens of thousands of pounds of plastic garbage washing up on the shores of that beautiful island! As far as the 12 principles of green chemistry, I think they are great, and they should be things that are not only easy to do, but it is easy to see why and how they would be beneficial to our world.

I had also not heard of green chemistry before. I wonder if it's one of those things that just sounds like a rosy idea, but is extremely difficult to put into practice because of lack of industry prioritization.
ReplyDeleteI have heard vaguely of green chemistry, a little bit from undergrad but it is a reminder that there are ways to reduce trash and also to see first hand how it is polluting our oceans.
