We pay lip-service to green chemistry in the UK by including just one of the 12 published reasons from the American Chemical Society, for adopting a green chemistry approach. There are at least 5 more that are applicable to school practical chemistry. In this talk for teachers, technicians, publishers, exam bodies and consultants, we will show, with live demonstrations and videos, some of the results of adopting “green” principles. The talk will also cover the latest developments in Hydrogen based fuels in schools.
