The Future of Humankind and the Role of Green Chemistry

Sustainability is a word that is being used more and more these days. What does it really mean and do we understand what it will take to truly be sustainable? This talk will focus on macroscopic issues facing the developing world and the resulting sustainability challenges they present. We will look at the role green chemistry can play in meeting those global challenges and provide examples of green chemistry and engineering in action. Dialog will be strongly encouraged throughout the talk.

Presented by Laboratory Research and Technical Staff (LabRATS), and The Green Initiative Fund. http://sustainability.ucsb.edu/lars
