M9.3 Green Chemistry



I think that the scientists of green chemistry should be awarded a nobel prize. The invention is life-saving. Green chemistry promises consumers and the global population of harmless production, storage, and disposal of home and occupational materials for agriculture, home-life, and everyday living.

I think that the 12 principles of green chemistry can be summarized as designing products that leaves no waste, using and generating efficient substances with little or no toxicity to humans and the environment, and safer practices of chemical use. Designing products for green chemistry should be done by the scientists or chemist but consumers or the public can be educated on safe practices of chemical, lease, and non-chemical use. I haven’t heard or seen any examples of green chemistry but I truly hope to see or practice them soon.

  1. I felt that I was unfamiliar with green chemistry as well. Thinking more about it, I think there are examples all around, like green cleaning products and biodegradable utensils.

  2. The green chemistry is an amazing idea. To think agriculture could be incorporated into home-life so easily is mind blowing.
