0:10 [Music] when we say green chemistry we mean environmentally friendly chemical
0:17 processes and doing chemistry with personal safety and the environment in mind there are 12 principles designed to
0:25 help make chemistry Greener we will discuss each of these 12 principles with an
0:33 example let's start with a simple concept if you keep your room neat and tidy you won't have to clean up as much
0:41 if your room gets really messy then you will have a lot to clean up the same concept is applied in green chemistry if
0:50 we prevent waste from being produced then there would be less to clean up now this is almost impossible to have Z zero
1:00 waste for any given chemical reaction on a global scale the beauty of this principle is that it can be applied to
1:09 almost every single chemical reaction conducted for example polystyrene is a fossil fuel derived polymer used to make
1:19 all disposable cups and packaging materials the polymer itself needs to be expanded before it can be used in
1:28 packaging traditionally this was done with cfc's or chlorofluorocarbons which deplete the
1:35 ozone layer now this is done with carbon dioxide waste from other industrial
1:42 processes instead of releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and contributing to the greenhouse effect
1:49 this is contained and used to expand polystyrene so there is no additional carbon dioxide being released into the
1:58 atmosphere for
