Green Chemistry 
What is Green Chemistry?
Green chemistry is an approach, like green architecture, that is focused on
developing sustainable chemical practices and methods that reduce or
eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. Developing
new methods that reduce wastes and hazards from the outset is the
primary focus of green chemistry.The Chemistry Department at Western
Washington University continues to implement green chemistry principles
throughout its curriculum. In addition, the Chemistry Club is initiating a
local green chemistry education campaign. The club strives to promote
green chemistry practices at all of its events and club members are available to
visit local schools to discuss green chemistry with teachers and students.
Please contact a Chem Club Officer or Advisor to arrange a visit to your school.
