The goal of the conference is for African artists and scientists to come together to think-tank how the arts can play a key role in expanding the Green Chemistry initiative in Africa and around the world. Green Chemistry is the utilization of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green chemistry is a revolutionary philosophy that seeks to unite government, academic and industrial communities by placing more emphasis on tending to environmental impacts at the earliest stage of innovation and invention. In the best sense, this day-long conference could become a catalyst for the development of innovative projects and programs that could involve a diversity of artists, cultural, educational, social and political organizations to participate in the Green Chemistry movement and a better world.
