In addition to the two winning videos featured at the 22nd Green Chemistry & Engineering Conference in Portland, Oregon, the judging panel selected 9 honorable mentions that uniquely illustrate green chemistry and address sustainability issues. The winning videos and honorable mentions are hosted on our website.
All of these videos are fantastic because they “spark in the students a lasting desire to tell the world about Green Chemistry, and challenge them to always do so with clear, vibrant, inspiring language” said James Rea, communications coach for Experts/Clearly, and a certified instructor with the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science and one of the judges of the competition. He added “These are the skills that will continue to propel green chemistry forward well beyond the running time of any single video”.
