SUMMARY:ECOSChem External Engagement Session #1
DESCRIPTION:Interested in supporting the development of a cross-sectoral and actionable definition and criteria for “sustainable chemistry”? Beyond Benign and the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production (LCSP) have been working together with the Expert Committee on Sustainable Chemistry (ECOSChem) over the past 6 months to create a draft definition and set of criteria that can accelerate the development and commercialization of greener\, safer and more sustainable chemicals\, processes and products. More information about the committee’s work and mandate can be found here. A set of external engagement sessions will be taking place in early November to gain broader feedback from the community and your participation and expertise would be greatly appreciated! Registration for the November 1st meeting is available through the link below. \nAt the meeting\, the Project Team (LCSP and Beyond Benign) will introduce the project and the draft definition and criteria for “sustainable chemistry” (15 minutes). Participants will then move into small groups organized by sector that will be moderated by ECOSChem members (45 minutes)\, followed by a wrap-up session where key input will be shared with the large group with time for discussion (30 minutes). Discussion materials for these meetings will be sent out on October 31st.

SUMMARY:STANYS Conference
DESCRIPTION:How to Use Green Chemistry Ideas and Activities in Your Regents Chemistry Class \nSunday\, Nov. 6th 11am-12pm \nLead Teachers Stefanie Loomis\, Scott Carlson and Jim Burdick \nHow can you bring green chemistry and sustainability into your class while meeting the NYSSLS and positively influencing student achievement? Green chemistry is a great avenue for putting chemistry content into context. We’ll share our creation of a NYSSLS-aligned curriculum map for New York teachers implementing green chemistry\, including relevant phenomena and storylines. We will share labs that we use and it is our hope that we can collaborate in this session to brainstorm ways in which these labs could be included into storylines that teachers are planning or using.

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

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

SUMMARY:Green chemistry education: An upstream approach to addressing sustainable development goals
DESCRIPTION:Our Co-Founder and Executive Director Dr. Amy Cannon has been invited by the North Carolina State University for a Seminar to the Chemistry Department on January 27th @ 3:40 PM (EST). The title of her talk will be Green chemistry education: An upstream approach to addressing sustainable development goals. This event is open to the public and more information can be found here. \n  \nIf you are interested in having a member of the Beyond Benign team present about Green Chemistry to your chemistry institution\, feel free to reach out to us at info@beyondbenign.org. \nAbstract: \nThe field of chemistry\, providing the molecular building blocks of materials and products used throughout society\, has a critical and foundational role in addressing the Sustainable Development Goals outlined by the United Nations. Green chemistry provides chemists with principles and a framework to design chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate hazards and impacts. Chemists\, with green chemistry skills\, have made significant positive impacts on society through the design of sustainable chemistry technologies. For example\, the use of biobased solvents can result in a 97% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in an industrial setting\, while break-through green chemistry technologies can reduce the inherent Global Warming Potential of a chemical products\, enabling chemists to take the urgent action needed to address climate change (U.N. SDG #13). Unfortunately\, our current global education systems do not properly prepare most scientists to select and design sustainable chemicals\, processes\, materials and products. Green chemistry education addresses sustainability at the earliest stages of the value chain\, maximizing impacts. Undergraduate and graduate level training is an essential stage in the training of scientists and professionals that are prepared with the skills to address hazards and mitigate impacts at the design stage of a product lifecycle.
