UC Berkeley Extension Sponsors Courses in Green Chemistry for Public and CEUs
Green Chemistry Initiative
A society-wide shift from toxic to green requires educating the entire supply chain from consumers to retailers to distributors to manufacturers to change a system -- any system -- from current practices to new best practices. The greening of chemistry requires that same dedicated educational process. California's Green Chemistry Initiative is being strengthened with education for professionals in the supply chain as well as consumers through courses available across the state in accessible channels such as continuing education for licensed professionals and the general public.
Extension Courses on Green Chemistry
University of California's UC Berkeley Extension is expanding their green chemistry course offerings in the spring of 2010. The UC Extension will offer 2 courses for career enrichment and licensing CEUs, Green Chemistry Policy as well as Toxicology and Risk Assessment. The Green Chemistry Policy course will be offered in both classroom and on-line formats to make learning about best practices implementation available statewide.
Public Event on Role of Green Chemistry
UC Berkeley Extension is also sponsoring a free public event called "Can We Achieve a Sustainable Future? The Role of Green Chemistry." The presentation is scheduled for March 25, 2010, 6:30 - 8:00 pm at the UC Berkeley campus. Registration is requested.
Please see the UC Berkeley Web site and contacts for additional information on these courses as well as UC Berkeley Extension's Certificate Program in Green Chemistry
Self-education about everyday chemistry can be helpful to your career as this massive chemical shift takes shape. From health care to personal care to building chemicals for wood preservation, green chemistry is working its way through the labs into the supply chain...and into our homes. Your career can benefit from learning best practices related to identifying alternatives to toxic chemicals.
