“Encouraging
our next generation to responsibly innovate”
Innovation and
Environmental Sustainability should not be
considered separately. Most of the issues we are
seeing today with us not knowing how to use our
raw materials and how to dispose of an item
properly- like plastics, are because when people
created products they did not consider these
things. But now we know from our mistakes and
from the issues we are currently facing today,
that the right way is for us to think about
environmental sustainability from the beginning
of creating any product or solution.
“Environmental
etiquette is the new norm for innovation”
Purpose of
Jr. Scientists and Innovators section:
To encourage kids to focus on science and
innovation, and emphasize that environmental
sustainability must be in the heart of
everything we do.
