The global outlook alerts us to be aware of the worrying climate crisis facing our planet. Human activity has been the main reason for our environmental problem. However, there are models we can put into practice to reverse what is happening with the environment. One of the main projects to lessen the damage, prevent and minimize the crisis to our environment; is Green Chemistry. Nevertheless, most of society understands that using green living strategies is like following the steps of Green Chemistry. There is a misconception about these being green or environmental and practicing Green Chemistry. Based on this, we need to design a strategic and didactic plan to teach the difference between environmental and green chemistry and to motivate and promote the practice of green chemistry with our student chapter from the University of Puerto Rico-Aguadilla and the community. In order to know and correctly apply what is green chemistry, we develop the TDC-XII Project. This project aims to promote the 12 principles of Green Chemistry under a strategy of Training, Development, and Communicate. This three-phase project is strategically designed to learn, apply and disseminate Green Chemistry from an applied perspective. Once the project is implemented and all phases are covered, the student and the community will be able to promote and apply Green Chemistry fundamentals with the guidance of the 12 principles.

TDC XII Program as a tool to understand and practice the 12 principles of green chemistry

Where thousands of chemistry professionals meet to share ideas and advance scientific and technical knowledge. Spring 2023 abstracts, posters, and presentations will launch at the end of March.
