The Green Chemistry concept helps scientists use materials found here on Earth to improve our environment due to internal decay. With the exponential increase in the number of the human population a huge strain is created in the use of our natural resources, which then necessitates the need to produce an alternative source, whether through chemical or mechanical means, which then raises problems, such as pollution in our environment. However, by using the concepts of green chemistry, which include increasing the productivity of atoms and using non-renewable resources along with many others, scientists can better neutralize the harmful effects of pollution in our environment. Professor Barry M. Trost received an academic award for his work in developing the concept of atom economy, in which he discovered a way to reduce the amount of chemical waste while improving the efficiency of chemical reactions. Before the discovery of the atom economy, there were no previous methods used to limit the amount of waste products coming from a chemical substance...
