With almost 7 billion people, the world cannot continue using more resources than it produces. Sustainable development seeks to maintain prosperity while taking steps to reduce waste and improve environmental efficiency. Green chemistry – making chemicals safely while minimizing waste – offers one example of how reducing waste can lead to improved prosperity. This course explores the issue of how we can manufacture goods sustainably in the future.
