GREEN CHEMISTRY–A –THON (GCAT)

[Johary]

Who really enjoys to clean up after themselves? If we use the first principle of Green Chemistry-Prevention-we can prevent waste than to clean up waste after it has been created.  That leaves us extra time for more fun things.

Chemicals are impacting human health.  We should not make chemistry accountable for this and lets make Chemistry safer for accident prevention.

Let's dress up in green for a good cause and create awareness.  You will be the center of attention for sure setting the green fashion trend.

Green Chemistry is the Science behind bringing sustainability. The first that defined Green Chemistry's 12 Principles were Paul Anastas and John Warner.  This concept is leading to research and implementation based on the 12 Principles.

Going green and using the 12 principles of Green Chemistry will help mother Earth last longer beacuse waste won't disturb our existence and we will have more time to enjoy life without having to worry about the harm we've done to earth.

Puerto Rico is celebrating Chemists Celebrate Earth Day in a green way with our "Festival de Química"...How is the rest of the world celebrating?

Green Chemistry provides us tools that let's us protect our environment. The 12 principles imply alternatives in which we can reuse the waste, and prevent from forming hazard waste that can affect the environment. If these hazardous waste are not formed it will not affect the environment with toxicity.

My friends and I are part of a group that is currently hanging out in bicycles instead of using vehicles as means of transportation. By doing this, we prevent the use of gas in vain which could create toxic waste for the enviroment.

By using the 12 principles of green chemistry we can help the Mother Earth because these principles, like the atom economy principle, encourage chemists and industries to use different less toxic methods to prepare their products.

By applying the 12 principles of Green Chemistry we would help in such many ways our beautiful mother Earth become less toxic and more sustainable. These 12 principles help reduce the creation of toxic and undesirable byproducts. They also encourage our young chemists to extend our mother Earth's life.
