The members of the Green Division of the ACS Inter Ponce Student Chapter are committed to work through an eco-friendly chemistry, to impact our community and developing role models to follow the twelve principles of Green Chemistry.  Puerto Rico is an island with many renewable resources to make green chemistry, and our main goal is to educate our people by giving lectures, presentations and activities to show them the benefits of Green Chemistry to our environment.  Therefore, we promote a healthy and green environment by implementing the use of non-hazard substances. It is important to persist in our purpose to minimize pollutants. Thus, is necessary to raise awareness of the consequences that this represents in our society.  Our vision of a better world should be contagious.  Among the initiatives adopted by our chapter, we have a Go Green vision implemented through waste prevention of plastic, cardboard and aluminum, as strategies to prevent the generation of pollutants, allowing us to develop a Green Club in schools. We plan to innovate the way we approach our community, exposing a monthly bulletin, where we show different ways green science can be used by people of all ages, using natural ingredients for a daily hygiene regimen, promoting a safe and easy alternative that will contribute to the eco-friendly chemistry. We acknowledge that chemistry surrounds us in many ways, but is our passion what drives us to innovate through green division. <br/>
