• Writing/Video Prompt: How to Use Less Chemicals – look for ways you, your neighbors, community, school, work, church, business or other entity can practice smarter, safer, chemical usage, by using less. Is there a way to clean effectively using less chemicals? Do you have a greener solution for any cleaning process? Can you find ways to reduce chemical waste? Ask your parents, friends, co-workers, bosses, and anyone else about their chemical usage. Can that chemical amount be reduced or made safer? OR think bigger — What about chemical use and consumption from: manufacturing, construction, aerospace, farming, maintenance and more! We all touch chemicals at some point in our lives – how can we use less?
