The actions we are taking include (1) the development of new sustainable chemical technologies to reduce the magnitude and the impact of society's chemical and energy activities, (2) the development of a new multidisciplinary effort, The Berkeley Center for Green Chemistry (http://bcgc.berkeley.edu/) to organize and
enhance sustainability activities on our campus and to reach out nationally and internationally for coordination and best
practices transfer, and (3) the reconfiguration of the delivery and content of our educational curriculum and activities at all levels to emphasize sustainable green chemical
practice, concepts and awareness so that all members of our profession advance the
sustainability of our society through their work and decisions.
