The chemical industry is an integral part of our being today.
But it is also one of the most polluting sectors in the industry. Deadly
chemicals used to manufacture textiles, pharmaceutical drugs and various other
chemicals add to land, air and water pollution. Thankfully, there is a
significant degree of concern about the same.
This is where green chemistry, also known as sustainable
chemistry, comes in. It encourages processes and systems that look for
alternatives to hazardous substances either being used, or being produced.
Not
only does it mean a cleaner, greener environment, research also shows that it
makes economic sense to manufacturers of generic medicines since it encourages
maximum inputs and minimum cost. Definitely time for more companies to give
sustainable growth a chance.
Against this background, green chemistry provides a sustainable solutions to future chemical manufacturing, according to Prof James Clark, Director, The Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence for Industry, University of York, UK.
Sustainable Green Initiative plants fruit trees on community lands like orphanages and old age homes and on lands owned by marginal and Bpl farmers. We work with self help groups and NGOs who help us identify right beneficiaries who can continue the process of planting and nurturing trees. (See our methodology).
At
Sustainable Green Initiative, we plant trees to help the fight against climate
change and also hunger, poverty and rural migration. By planting a tree
through us, you help in doing your bit to mitigate your carbon footprint and
carry on the fight against hunger, poverty and climate change.
Did you know a tree sequesters about 1 ton of carbon and processes enough
oxygen for two peoples requirements in its life-time?
