	Green Chemistry Challenge Awards
		The Green Chemistry Challenge Awards are to recognise and promote fundamental and innovative chemical methods that accomplish pollution prevention through source reduction and that have broad applicability in industry, and to recognise contributions to education in Green Chemistry.
		Green chemistry is relevant to all Divisions of the Institute and the Awards are non-Divisional based.
		Green chemistry encompasses all aspects and types of chemical processes, including synthesis, catalysis, analysis, monitoring, separations and reaction conditions, that reduce impacts on human health and the environment relative to the current state of the art.

	Green Chemistry (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Green chemistry is not a particular set of technologies, but rather an emphasis on the design of chemical products and processes, sometimes at the molecular level, that reduces or eliminates the use and generation of hazardous substances.
		Green chemistry can lead to dramatic changes in how we interact with chemicals on a daily basis as in the case of the 2005 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the development of the metathesis method in organic synthesis.
		The U.S EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge also promotes and recognizes outstanding chemical technologies that incorporate the principles of green chemistry into chemical design, manufacture, and use, and that have been or can be utilized by industry in achieving their pollution prevention goals.

	ENVIRONMENT: Scientists Set Sights on 'Green' Chemistry
		Green chemistry is not "green-washing" of old technologies, it is a fundamental part of new technologies that work better, cost less, use less energy, and will be less polluting throughout the life cycle from raw material to ultimate disposition, Rogers told IPS.
		Green chemistry is an international issue because pollution and toxic releases can have an impact globally, says Kenneth Seddon, a professor of chemistry at Queens University in Belfast, Ireland.
		Green chemistry is no more complex than traditional chemistry but it takes a different approach, one that considers the toxicity of materials and their byproducts when developing a new chemical process, Jessop says.

	Green Chemistry
		Green chemistry is defined by the EPA as "the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances." It is sometimes characterized as ''benign by design'' to emphasize that it is green intentionally.
		Also known as sustainable chemistry, benign chemistry, or source reduction, green chemistry seeks to prevent the creation of hazards, instead of focusing on limiting the spread of pollutants or cleaning up waste.
		Green Chemistry Institute is created by the non-profit organization, the ACS (American Chemical Society), that promotes the development and implementation of science and technology to avoid the generation and production of hazardous wastes.

	Green design - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Green design (also referred to as "sustainable design", "eco-design", or "design for environment") is the catch-all term for a growing trend within the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, industrial design and interior design.
		It is related to the more heavy-industry-focused fields of industrial ecology and green chemistry, sharing tools such as life cycle assessment and life cycle energy analysis to judge the environmental impact or "greenness" of various design choices.
		When new materials are employed, green designers look for materials that are rapidly replenished, such as bamboo, which can be harvested for commercial use after only 6 years of growth, or cork oak, in which only the outer bark is removed for use, thus preserving the tree.

		Green chemistry is a revolutionary philosophy that seeks to unite government, academic and industrial communities by placing more emphasis on tending to environmental impacts at the earliest stage of innovation and invention.
		This approach requires an open and interdisciplinary view of materials design, applying the principle that it is better to not generate waste in the first place, rather than disposing or treating it afterwards.
		There is tremendous untapped opportunity for ingenuity and reward at the chemical design stage; this is the central concern of Green Chemistry.

	Joel Makower: Two Steps Forward: The Curious Paradox of 'Green Chemistry'
		A perusal of past winners of the U.S. EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge, which promotes "innovative developments in and uses of green chemistry," reveals initiatives that seem worthy -- an enzyme technology to improve paper recycling, for example, or a "green synthesis" for manufacturing the cancer drug Taxol, using plant cell fermentation and extraction.
		Like the notion of "pollution prevention" itself, green chemistry typically promotes "less bad" ways of doing the same things, rather than rethinking the solutions altogether -- for example, a less-polluting alternative to a synthetic organic pesticide, as opposed to organic farming, which may obviate the need for the pesticide altogether.
		Contrast green chemistry with, for example, the potential for biomimicry, which "studies nature's models and then imitates or takes inspiration," in the words of my friend and colleague Janine Benyus, who wrote the seminal book on the topic.

		Environmental chemistry is the study of different chemical species in natural environments, usually in the biosphere.
		Green chemistry is the attempt to design chemical products and processes to reduce the harm they cause to ecosystems.
		So, you need environmental chemistry for green chemistry to be possible - you have to know how different chemicals behave in the environment to be able to make things better.
