Connecting Industry to K-12 Education through Green Chemistry
Federal Room B (Capital Hilton) 157
Strategies and success stories around creating partnerships and initiatives between business and K-12 school communities will be discussed in this presentation. Local school communities including students, teachers, administrators and parents can be wonderful avenues to increase the reach of an industrial green chemistry initiative. Strategies and resources will be discussed and shared with a view to getting industry personnel out into school communities to share green chemistry initiatives and connect with the green chemistry leaders of the future.

Understanding and Implementing the Principles of Green Chemistry in Industry
Federal Room B (Capital Hilton) 174
Industrial leaders today are focused on promoting sustainability in their businesses. From energy usage in the work environment to recycling, sustainable practices are becoming standard. While these "operations" efforts are extremely important, chemical and manufacturing companies also have an opportunity to integrate sustainability into their fundamental technologies through green chemistry. Perhaps one of the most effective ways of ensuring a sustainable future is through the implementation of the principles of green chemistry at the research and development bench. This presentation will discuss techniques for teaching the principles of green chemistry to the industrial chemist and methods to implement the learned practices in an industrial setting.
