Neptune's Medicine Chest
It seems that the scientific mind is always looking for the magic bullet cure. Why is it so hard for us to see our own shadow?
We can't continue to pollute the air, land and sea and then turn to look for the cure to all our ignorance.
Yes it is wonderful that this particular gentleman is isolating active ingredients that can make his university or investors lots of money but we cannot close our eyes to the environmental devastation that we are causing concurrently. This is what I mean by shadow. Let's admit the wrong we are doing while also attempting to do right. Hate to always be a contrarian but I feel like the point must be acknowledged before we can proceed.

So in regards to green chemistry links, yes, we must reduce the amount of pollution byproducts of chemical processes. Our survival depends on it. I love the idea of a cradle to cradle mentality, we plan further than the next quarter's profits when we design and conceive of products. So if we make products with planned obsolescence in mind, lets make products that we know can degrade in an ecological way. The twelve principles of green chemistry seem like excellent guide lines with which to proceed. If we can split atoms and destroy all life on earth, we can definitely find a way to make 100% clean products.

Thank you.
