Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. Waste not, want not. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Buzzword or adage, is it relevant to MIT? Yes!
As part of its Environment, Health, and Safety Management System (EHS-MS), MIT is implementing a Pollution Prevention (P2) Program. P2 looks at the processes that generate waste, and identifies opportunities to reduce EHS impacts upstream to minimize hazards downstream. Hear about MIT's proposed framework, and your role in the P2 program.
Green Chemistry is P2 at the chemical level. MIT is exploring green chemistry for strategic hazardous waste management and an opportunity to demonstrate environmental stewardship. Learn about MIT's green chemistry resources; chemical alternatives; and an electronic tool under development to encourage more benign chemical purchasing.

Think it would be fun to run Chemistry Magic Shows, to show off your magical powers in front of dozens of fascinated elementary school children? Want to teach children about chemistry in a way they will never forget? Take this class, learn the tricks, then join our Magic Show team. The class culminates in several magic shows throughout the spring term.
