Green Chemistry Online Course for Educators Green Chemistry is the science of creating safe, energy efficient and non-toxic products and processes and offers a concrete path towards solving the environmental problems our society faces today. This course begins with an introduction to the 12 principles of green chemistry and then concentrates on the exploration and creation of green chemistry lesson plan materials. Educational resources that are proven vehicles for bringing green chemistry concepts to high school students will be introduced. These lesson plans are designed to integrate into current curriculum and meet national education standards in science and connecting disciplines. The materials are designed for high-tech, low-tech and no-tech implementation so that teachers with varying resources have an avenue for implementation. http://www.beyondbenign.org/K12education/highschool.html

This day, designated by the United Nations in 1993, calls to our attention to the reality that fresh water is a limited and precious resource. According to the United Nations, 2.6 billion people, including almost 1 billion children, live without basic sanitation. As a result, every 20 seconds, a child dies as a result of poor sanitation. Investing in improved sanitation and safe drinking water could save 2.2 million children per year. Want to know more about water in the world and how you stack up in saving this precious resource, go to the CA green blog and check out some of the links on the World Water Day post.
