Do we have a method to holistically consider the impacts of our decisions on the planet? Life cycle assessment (LCA) allows us to determine whether an action is more or less sustainable that other possible actions. A thorough LCA measures multiple impacts, but can become very complex. However, this complexity is essential for quantifying claims and understanding nuances.
Join us for a special Chemists Celebrate Earth Week webinar with Global Expertise Principal, Rich Helling of Dow, as he shares how great insights are possible with simple calculations. Discover how through employing life cycle thinking to balance understand the compromises and trade-offs we all make towards a more sustainable world.
This ACS Webinar is moderated by David Constable of the American Chemical Society and is co-produced with the ACS Green Chemistry Institute and the ACS Committee on Community Activities for the Chemists Celebrate Earth Week campaign.
