Today's discussion will consider how best to get the message of green chemistry and green manufacturing out to people, and to change the mindset of the skeptics. See the article page for background information.
Agenda
Specifically, we will consider how the following groups can help:
- Government
- Scientists
- Students and citizens like me
- A company such as Acme
We will discuss each in turn, in the order shown
Please make sure that you have read chapter 1 of Green Chemistry: Theory and Practice before the discussion.
Discussion
OK: Jesse, are you here? I just heard from Chris a few minutes ago, he can't attend today. Should we reschedule this, so we can have a proper three-way discussion? Would you be available next Wednesday at 2pm? Or would you prefer to continue without Chris? Walkerma 16:01, 18 April 2008 (EDT)
