M9.3: Green chemistry

I've never heard of green or sustainable chemistry but I love that this exists. The 12 principles are aligned with what sustainable chemicals should be and it's great to see that one of the principles is to reduce waste at production because it takes away all the work related to treating and cleaning up the chemicals that are released. I'm not sure how much, if at all, this topic is being taught in institutions, especially chemistry and environmental science courses. With the emergence of all the green movements, we need to equip those who are going into the field the appropriate education and training to curve climate change.
