Green chemistry is the use of chemistry for pollution prevention. Green chemists, rather than assume pollution is an unavoidable consequence of doing chemistry, take a more proactive approach. More specifically, green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.

Green chemistry is preventative medicine for the environment. Green chemistry applies innovative scientific solutions to real-world environmental situations. These situations will involve you throughout your lifetime. They affect the water you drink, the food you eat and even the clothes you wear.

Chemists around the world are working to improve the environmental impacts of chemical products and processes so that we can all move toward an environmentally and economically sustainable society. What motivates green chemists, however, is not only the economic sense of enviro-safe practices, but also the desire to make the world safer.

It's not easy being Green; but somebody needs to do it.
