The Institute for Green Science

"When the program is completed, it will be available to the world free of charge."

Not sure what folks here would think of the curriculum but it looks interesting:

The online green education you can’t get anywhere else right here

Carnegie Mellon’s Terry Collins is thinking BIG and GREEN.

A champion in the field of green chemistry, Collins is the founder of The Institute for Green Science, a center for research and education dedicated to teaching the world to think holistically about sustainability as it relates to the field of science. With the help of Chip Walters, senior manager of strategy and educational initiatives, GSI is moving into cyberspace with an innovative curriculum in green science that will take the Institute to the next level.

“We’re trying an entirely new way to educate science students and the world because right now there aren’t any scientists who’ve been trained to be green,” explains Walters. “We’re trying to accelerate the big picture, create a whole new breed of scientist.”

The online curriculum offers courses, lectures, video games, online reading assignments and exams to both students who wish to learn and teachers who hope to incorporate the material into their lesson plans. Research focuses on renewable energy technologies, the creation of chemical feedstocks from renewable resources and the replacement of polluting technologies with safe alternatives.

GSI is collaborating with other institutions that may offer the curriculum to their students for course credit in the future. When the program is completed, it will be available to the world free of charge.

Funding for the site was made available by the Heinz Endowments and the Johnson Family Foundation.

If they are serious then they need to add in all the works of Viktor Schauberger. For his theories aid humanity in just about every field that truly matters, from farming and planting trees, to power generation, and so much more. The longer the world stays away from his technology the worste things will get, until we reach the tipping point of no return. For once that point is reached then all we can do is wait to see who makes it as the earth takes it's time in healing all the damage that was done to it. For if we keep this type of living up we will destroy the earths ability to support our type of life and it will get rid of us all.

Here Here!

>because right now there aren’t any scientists who’ve been trained to be green,” explains Walters.

Yup you better believe it 90% of scientist are employed by pharma and big oil. We certainly need one alright this might be great to approach with some solid data on the open source projects like:

GEET, Hydroxy, Imhotep, Multi coil Bedini, Stiffler and RV. I think this is a great opportunity ill contact them, also ill add there thems here

( this is the R and D institute concept for our technology)

thanks for posting.

Ashtweth, yep you are right.
Terry Collins works on Department of Defense contacts here.

1. Terry Collins Develops “Green” Catalysts for Potential Use in Industry and Biological Warfare
Terry Collins, the Thomas Lord Professor of Chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University, has developed environmentally safe oxidation catalysts that can be used to decontaminate biological weapons, such as anthrax, and eliminate toxic residues produced by several industries. Members of Collins’ laboratory presented the latest findings on this work at the recent American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in New York City.

Reading the publication posted there, it seems they don't read Victor Schauberger work yet or Japanese research on alkaline water.

Something in the water


Bad thing is, they still endorse chemical for water treatment. It seems the main thing they want to promote is their TAML, which they mention as cure for everything:
Aug. 18: Green Catalysts Provide Promise For Cleaning Toxins and Pollutants - Carnegie Mellon University
Green Solutions - Carnegie Mellon University

PHILADELPHIA—Tetra-Amido Macrocyclic Ligands (TAMLs) are environmentally friendly catalysts with a host of applications for reducing and cleaning up pollutants, and a prime example of "green chemistry." Carnegie Mellon University's Terry Collins, the catalyst's inventor, believes that the small-molecule catalysts have the potential to be even more effective than previously proven. Collins will discuss how iron-TAMLs (Fe-TAMLs) work and areas for further research, citing evidence from mechanistic and kinetic studies of the catalyst on Monday, Aug. 18 at the 236th national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Philadelphia.

The oxidation catalysts are the first highly effective mimics of peroxidase enzymes. When partnered with hydrogen peroxide, they are able to convert harmful pollutants into less toxic substances. Made from the common elements of biochemistry, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen around a reactive iron core, Fe-TAMLs are less toxic and usable at extremely low concentrations. Additionally, their composition also results in very strong chemical bonds that are not broken down by the highly reactive oxygen intermediaries formed during the reaction with hydrogen peroxide.

Less toxic is still toxic and Viktor Schauberger warn that iron attract pathogen bactery. They remove some bad one but may introduce another.

That line caught my eye too, I told myself he should have said there aren't any MAIN STREAM scientists who've been trained to be green.

Yeah I agree with you all, one does have to wonder if this institute is just about that TAML

Ash you mention R&D. . . Obama claims now that he is supporting energy r&d, we have made more advancements in energy in a few months than we have in the last 30 years:

Lately I've been hearing some say the economy is for sure turning around at the end of the year. Hopefully that will be coinciding with better energy production practices.

Well a girl can hope for a bright future, cant she
