SUMMARY:Green Chemistry – The Connection to Environmental Justice
DESCRIPTION:Chemistry has provided significant benefits to society. It has also had major impacts on human and ecosystem health. Chemical accidents like the 1984 Union Carbide plant in Bhopal India\, which killed more than 15\,000 people\, illustrate the potential for chemistry to cause significant harm.  Tragic events on a big scale are just one manifestation of negative impacts of chemistry. People around the planet live with the chemical contamination of their communities\, their homes\, and their bodies. But we’re not equally exposed. \nMinority and lower income communities are disproportionately impacted by chemical exposures.  The Environmental Justice movement arose in the late 1980s in response to well-documented cases of “environmental racism” – where African American and other minority communities were disproportionately exposed to toxic chemical production and waste\, while not receiving the economic benefits.  Environmental justice is defined as is the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people — regardless of race\, color\, national origin\, or income — with respect to the development\, implementation\, and enforcement of environmental laws\, regulations\, and policies. \nIt is essential that chemists practicing green chemistry understand the potential impacts that chemistry can have on communities and ecosystems\, as well as the ethical and social considerations underlying the field.  Green chemistry is one potential solution to the impacts communities have faced. \nIn this webinar moderated by Dr. Joel Tickner (Professor of Environmental Health\, University of Massachusetts Lowell)\, Monique Harden and Martha Dina Arguello – two leaders of the environmental justice movement  – will introduce participants to the concept of environmental justice\, how environmental injustice affects communities and the important role that green chemistry and green chemists can play in both improving community and ecosystem health and creating new economic opportunities for communities.  Speakers will discuss ways in which minority and lower income communities can become active participants in the green chemistry movement. \nPlease join us for this important\, solutions-oriented conversation. Register now! \nSpeaker bios: \nMartha Dina Arguello – Executive Director\, Physicians for Social Responsibility Los Angeles: For the past 35 years\, Martha has served in the non-profit sector as an advocate\, community organizer\, and coalition builder. She joined PSR-LA in 1998 to launch the environmental health programs\, and became Executive Director in November 2007. She is committed to making the credible voice of physicians a powerful instrument for transforming California and our planet into a more peaceful and healthy place. \nAs a coalition builder\, Martha has emphasized the need for local grassroots advocacy working in partnership with statewide policy actions. She is an active board member of numerous organizations\, including Californians for Pesticide Reform\,  Californians for a Healthy and Green Economy . She was appointed to  California Air Resources Board’s Global Warming Environmental Justice Advisory Committee and 617 Implementation Working Group. \nMonique Harden is the Assistant Director of Law and Policy and the Community Engagement Program Manager at the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice. The Center provides research\, education\, community and student engagement support\, as well as worker training in environmental careers. Ms. Harden has more than 20 years of achievements in the practice of law that have helped predominantly African American communities win significant environmental justice victories in the Gulf Coast Region. She is the former co-director of Advocates for Environmental Human Rights\, a public interest law firm whose representation of Mossville Environmental Action Now achieved the international precedent recognizing environmental racism as a human rights violation and the right of U.S. residents to seek remedies for it at the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. Ms. Harden has authored papers and lectured on the right of people to live in a healthy environment and the duties of government to protect this right vis-à-vis the U.S. Constitution\, international human rights laws\, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act\, the Americans with Disability Act\, and environmental laws. She has spearheaded local\, regional\, and international coalitions in support of communities advocating for the human right to a healthy environment. She works to democratize policymaking on environmental matters by supporting community-based organizations to engage policymakers on reducing pollution that harms their health and warms our planet.

SUMMARY:Harvard Extension School Course: ENVR E-158A Green Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:January 30 – May 15\, 2019 \nThis Harvard Extension School Course is taught by Dr. John Warner co-founder of the field of green chemistry\, Beyond Benign and Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry. This course will present the fundamentals of green chemistry and connect the science behind sustainability issues with efforts that can be taken to create solutions. Green Chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. While there are many mechanisms and tools available to assess the impact of materials and processes on human health and the environment\, there are few tools available to help design and create products as such. This course will explore examples from a wide spectrum of industrial sectors including construction\, personal care\, pharmaceuticals and electronics. Through examples\, students will be presented with the premise that green chemistry offers organizations a boost to innovation and faster time to market. There is no text for this class\, although students are encouraged to read “Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice” by Paul Anastas and John Warner\, Oxford University Press\, 2000. (ISBN-10:0198506988\, ISBN-13:9780198506980. Course content will include lectures\, readings and discussions. Readings are intended to be timely and current\, so will be posted two weeks prior to each class. \nThis class is designed for both non-chemists and practicing professional chemists. A chemistry primer will be provided the second week of class to make sure all students have the appropriate background.

SUMMARY:Green Chemistry: Inventing a Circular Economy through a Thermodynamic Lens
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. John Warner\, Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry \nRegister Now! \nThe natural world is a beautiful and intricate system of intertwined and overlapping materials ecosystems. As humans\, our understanding of the various interrelationships is only at the most basic level. One important reason why these naturally interdependent cyclic systems exist with exquisite complexity is because of the very fact that they all co-emerged over hundreds of thousands of years in the presence of one another. Evolutionary forces drove symbiotic relationships by selecting for and against mechanisms and materials that were conducive to the success of the entire multi-component matrix. As human society seeks to create a circular economy\, we unfortunately have the disadvantage that our various industrial “species” have developed with a level of independence\, essentially unaware of adjacent processes. We are forced into a position of creating connectivities that were not part of the considerations in the original design. Obviously this creates a daunting challenge. While there have been some examples of the circular economy designed and deployed in many industrial settings\, the vast majority of industrial products and processes continue to exist disconnected and unsustainable over the long run. The pathway to create most of these technological ecosystems will require the inventive application of green chemistry (the molecular level mechanistic underpinnings of sustainability). Nature creates materials of such exquisite structural complexity and diversity that humans may never be able to mimic them. Nature’s elegance is even more astounding when one considers the fact that most chemistry in the biological world is carried out at ambient temperature and pressure using water\, for the most part\, as its reaction medium. For society to become truly sustainable\, the way we manufacture\, use and repurpose materials must change dramatically. This presentation will describe John Warner’s entropic considerations of materials design and illustrate their application through recent R&D examples from the Warner Babcock Institute for Green Chemistry.

SUMMARY:Greening the Chemistry Research and Teaching Labs: Resources to Increase Safety and Reduce Waste
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Amy Cannon from Beyond Benign and Dr. Jane Wissinger from the University of Minnesota at the annual Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) conference in Pittsburgh\, PA. \nDescription: \nUniversity and college campuses across the United States are pushing the envelope on greening their campus facilities\, operations\, and processes. However\, despite their disproportionate consumption of resources\, laboratories are often excluded from sustainability programs. Bringing sustainable practices into the chemistry research and teaching laboratories can have a significant impact on increasing safety\, conserving energy\, reducing waste and hazardous chemical usage\, amongst other tangible benefits. \nThis presentation will provide attendees with resources that can be readily implemented within the chemistry research and teaching laboratories\, spanning from conservation approaches to greener alternative substitutions. Green chemistry in practice has proven to provide a safer working environment for researchers and students\, while maintaining a high level of rigor for teaching and excellence in research. In this session\, participants will connect safety and ethics issues directly to real-world applications of safer chemical approaches in the laboratory. Examples will be presented from universities who are actively implementing safer\, greener laboratory practices across research and teaching divisions. \n
