SUMMARY:Defining "Sustainable Chemistry" Project Webinar
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with the Lowell Centre for Sustainable Production\, Beyond Benign will be co-hosting a webinar on Wednesday\, March 1 at 11 a.m. ET summarizing work over the past year by the Expert Committee on Sustainable Chemistry (ECOSChem)\, a group of twenty leading representatives from industry\, government\, academic\, and non-profit organizations from across the world. The ECOSChem group has spent the past twelve months developing an actionable definition and criteria for “sustainable chemistry” that will help inform policymakers\, industry researchers\, educators and so many others in building a more sustainable future through chemistry. Come hear more about the definition and criteria from the project team and members of the expert committee as they highlight the importance of this work moving forward. You can register for this event using the link below.

SUMMARY:Green Chemistry Connections
DESCRIPTION:Register now to join us! \nBeyond Benign will be hosting monthly Green Chemistry Connections around Green Chemistry education using the Green Chemistry Students Learning Objectives from the Green Chemistry Commitment program as a loose framework. Register to stay in the loop about upcoming speakers. \nEach time we meet\, we will host community leaders who are actively practicing Green Chemistry and/or Toxicology in their courses and/or laboratories. Connections grow through time dedicated to small group discussions\, networking\, and resource sharing. \nWe ask that you BYOR\, bring your own resource or request to the community – share a resource or put a request out to the group for resources you need. \nWe invite you to bring your departmental colleagues\, external collaborators\, graduate teaching assistants\, etc. to the discussion as we will be holding this space and time monthly for the community to come together around Green Chemistry education to advance the field together virtually! \nRegister now to join us! \nAfter registering\, you’ll receive more information about the Green Chemistry Connections via calendar invite and emails as the meeting time approaches as well as access to our Google Site the virtual home of the Connections to stay connected with the community between live meeting times.

SUMMARY:Observe\, Wonder\, Think: A Green Chemistry Interactive Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:Calling all K-12 teachers! Create safer\, more engaging learning environments by integrating green chemistry and sustainable science principles into your classroom. Join your peers at our monthly professional development series: Observe\, Wonder\, Think: A Green Chemistry Interactive Webinar Series to learn how! \nFollowing NGSS best practice techniques\, this webinar series will support K-12 educators to foster “observe\, wonder\, think” with their students using hands-on green chemistry labs and highlighting real-world green chemistry technologies. Each time we meet\, we will host education leaders who are actively practicing green chemistry in their classrooms to walk through their favorite green chemistry labs and experiments. There will be time for Q&A and/or networking at the end of each call. \nThis professional development series will be held on the third Thursday of the month\, October 2022 through May 2023. By registering here\, you will be signed up for all events and have access to all event recordings.  \nOctober\, December\, February\, April 6pm ET  \nNovember\, January\, March\, May 7pm ET  \nWe’ll send reminders ahead of each event. Each participant will receive a certificate of completion at the end of each meeting.

SUMMARY:New York Green Chemistry PLT
DESCRIPTION:From ocean plastic to forest fires\, our world needs invention\, innovation\, and creativity to find solutions to our biggest problems. Green chemistry\, also known as the science of solutions\, offers a framework for decreasing hazards within classrooms while promoting sustainability for both human health and the environment. Whether you are new to thinking about sustainability in the classroom or have already implemented green chemistry lesson plans\, we want you to join us. Together\, we will create a community of Green Chemistry educators within the state of NY. \nDuring our time together\, NY teachers will share and collaborate in the creation of NYSSLS Aligned Green Chemistry Labs\, videos of implementing labs\, and lesson plans spotlighting NY Industries practicing green chemistry. We may feature guest speakers who are leaders in sustainable science. Most importantly\, together we will share lessons and labs as we work together to add sustainability into our sciences. Please complete the enclosed short form to join the PLT team. This is a continuation of last year’s PLT\, but new members are welcome! If you have any questions\, please contact Jim Burdick at jburdick@ccsdk12.org. \nThis PLT is for teachers in grades 6 -12.\nOpen to ALL Master Teachers across the state + Invite a friend (non MTs) / OPEN \nREGISTER HERE
