Green Chemistry

Green chemistry is the way of making chemicals in a safer way so as not to hurt the environment. Normally when scientists make chemicals they make a lot of byproducts that are associated with that and it would hurt the environment. Now they are trying to be "Green " and trying to make less byproducts. This would help the environment in a tremendous way. For examples makers of Advil and Motrin used to make those medicines in a way that caused a lot of damage and many byproducts. But now they make it in a more green way. This is related to chemistry because it taught me the meaning of the word green because i never really knew the meaning of green in that way i just thought it was recycling, but it is not. so this taught me about it could be used in chemistry.
