We are inspired by this reflection from Dr. Raymond Borg, chemistry lecturer at UHMC—the first academic institution in Hawaiʻi to sign the GCC. Ray reflects on attending the RASBQ conference, which left him optimistic about the future of green chemistry at UHMC. 🌍 Read more. buff.ly/KYUoWJU

Quote graphic featuring Dr. Raymond Borg, Lecturer at the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College. Text reads: “We have only just begun weaving green chemistry into our core courses this past year, so it is far from finished, but we are well on our way, building it into the foundational material rather than tacking it on as a one-off unit.” Green Chemistry Commitment and Beyond Benign logos appear at the bottom.
