![]() As we observe Earth Day this year, I encourage you to share with your networks green chemistry approaches to reducing our global footprint as you consider what you can do to minimize your personal footprint. The American Chemical Society’s annual Chemists Celebrate Earth Week event will be held from April 18-24, with a theme of “Reducing Our Footprint with Chemistry.” Green chemistry applications can help reduce the many footprints we leave behind by, for example, designing plastics that do not persist in the environment, developing processes that use renewable resources, and creating new materials that enable energy efficient technologies. The Biden Administration is organizing a Climate Summit on Earth Day as it ramps up U.S. Next month we will observe on April 22 the 51st anniversary of Earth Day. With approximately 40 technical sessions and a $75 registration fee ($25 for students), this is your must-attend green chemistry conference in 2021! Registration is now open for this year’s conference at. We will be offering a series of “GC&E Fridays,” featuring green chemistry technical and educational content, leading up to the conference. I am delighted that Amy Prieto, Professor of Chemistry at Colorado State University and founder and CTO of Prieto Battery, has been confirmed as our final keynote speaker. We are currently finalizing the program for this year’s Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference. In the meantime, we will continue to share our science through such virtual events as the ACS Spring 2021 National Meeting, April 5-30, and the Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference, June 14-18. The accelerated rollout of vaccines brings hope for an end to the pandemic in the near future. It has been a full year since most of us began working from home. ![]()
