Because plants are very important to humans and we need them to survive, but if we use chemicals that harm/kill the plants we are not only destroying the habitat of other animals as well as us. 

I think prevention is very important. We need to learn to stop complaining about the things that happen because of us. People talk about how we need to be more environmentally friendly but aren't acting on their complaints. I think that most people understand that we are destroying the environment but aren't willing to stop and admit that we are the cause for this. Thats why, we need to stop ourselves before we make things worse, stop things before they begin.

Statement: 
“If humans need a certain chemical for, say, medical reasons, it shouldn’t matter how much energy is used to make it. We should just make it.”  
'To what extent do you agree with this statement and why?'

I disagree with the fact of not thinking about the effects that we will have on the environment if we create a chemical for our own use. However, I don't think we should not give people healthcare just because it will effect the environment. I think that we need to asses the situation and create smart solutions to try and prevent the problems before the happen.

I think that it is important to make chemical processes more environmentally friendly as  we need to take care of the environment around us to ensure that we are able to still live in a semi-healthy environment. So we need to clean up after ourselves to prevent the damage we have done to becoming worse.

They all are super important but I think number 6.Design for Energy Efficiency is one of the more important as once we figure out how to design a type of efficient Energy we will be that much closer to achieving clean energy for a clean environment but definitely also 1.Prevention as that is also key to having a clean environment. 

Which one of the green chemistry principles do you think might be the most important and why? 
- I think that number 10 which is design of degradation is the most important. I believe everything we have comes from the Earth, so we must find a way to send it back. Its like borrowing something from someone, I believe that you are responsible for returning it. 

“If humans need a certain chemical for, say, medical reasons, it shouldn’t matter how much energy is used to make it. We should just make it.” 

 To what extent do you agree with this statement and why? 

- Actually I disagree with that statement. I understand how important it is to combat diseases and save lives. However the statement says it doesn't matter how much energy. I believe that a statement as vague as that should not be taken into consideration because it can be misused easily.

This is because the chemical processes that we use can create these byproducts that we don't want, and with out proper control it will negatively impact our environment. We have already destroyed our environment quiet a lot and should really start to look after it.
2. Which one of the green chemistry principles do you think might be the most important and why? 

I think that prevention is one of the important ones. If we are able to stop or reduce the waste being there in the first place, we won't need to find other solutions to try and clean it up.

It's important to make chemical processes more environmentally friendly because we only have one earth and if we're not careful, then we won't be able to sustain it for many more years to come.
2.Which one of the green chemistry principles do you think might be the most important and why? 

The most important principle is the prevention because it's more effective if there was minimal waste to begin with rather than trying to do something with our waste.

“If humans need a certain chemical for, say, medical reasons, it shouldn’t matter how much energy is used to make it. We should just make it.” 

Making our chemical processes more environmentally friendly allows us to make tests more often without having to worry about our environment being harmed. A lot of toxic chemicals are being used in products that are being sold, and when they get thrown out, these toxic chemicals get released into our atmosphere. By making chemical processes more environmentally friendly, it eliminates this hazard.

2. Which one of the green chemistry principles do you think might be the most important and why? 

In my opinion, prevention seems to be very important, as it's better to avoid the need to deal with waste rather that deal with it in any way. Waste is a big factor of why our environment can get harmed. Another important principle is designing chemicals for degradation. A lot of pollution comes from factories, using the same toxic chemicals to create products. If these chemicals can be degradable,, this pollution can be decreased, and it will help the environment.

By making our chemical processes more environmentally friendly is important as we do not want to harm our environment and cause any more damage then already done. Also chemical waste is the most dangerous and we do not need it.

I think prevention is the most important one, because if we stop making waste, there will be no waste to clean and therefore there will not be any waste to worry about.

I think prevention is the most important one because if we can reduce the waste being created, then we wouldn't need to find other solutions to clean it up.

Ans. I think that design for efficient energy is the most important on e as our energy consumption is increasing and the oil and coal resources that we used to rely on to power us have been depleted and thus we need to develop efficient energy that won't run out and doesn't add to the pollution that already exists.
 2. Why might it be important to   make chemical processes more environmentally friendly?

Ans. We need to protect the environment and thus for the future processes that we undertake should not add more load to the pollution and waste that already exists.

a: Because there many types of chemicals in this world, there are also many types of toxic chemicals in this world. Chemicals damage many ecosystems and the atmosphere around us causing them to be toxic even for us humans. If we started to change the many chemical processes for the better of this world, it makes it more safe for everyone and everything.

2. Which one of the green chemistry principles do you think might be the most important and why? 

a: I think preventing waste is the most important of the 12 principles because with all the waste we have filling up landfills, polluting areas such as the ocean and etc. We are making that waste by doing useless things. At the same time waste is taking up a lot of space which we could use for our industrial needs 
or for other beings such as animals. Takes more time to clean up.

3. To what extent do you agree with this statement and why? 
“If humans need a certain chemical for, say, medical reasons, it shouldn’t matter how much energy is used to make it. We should just make it.” 

a: Well I think that we should make an effort to use the energy more efficiently as possible. But do it if you need to. (Maybe as a last resort let's say a shortage and you need it to be made quickly.)

to prevent the releasing of toxic chemicals into the atmosphere so that we dont harm the environment around us
 2. Which one of the green chemistry principles do you think might be the most important and why? 
prevent waste - so much in our world is wasted. why make that much and use up so many resources when you don't actually need the amount you've made? this will eventually pile up into a large amount of waste and definitely effect our planet in the long run

I believe that this is the most important because after companies are done with their chemicals. They just pollute the environment with the chemicals. If they can find a way to break it down and not danger the environment then that would be great.

2. Which one of the green chemistry principles do you think might be the most important and why?
I think the first one - prevention - is the most important because that is where all of the other points fall under, we need to use as little as possible before it's too late. Rather than using our energy to clean up our waste, we should prevent creating that waste in the first place. Link

Because preserving the environment is important, and crucial to the survival of everything living on Earth. Toxic chemicals polluting the air, water, and land puts the environment in danger. 

2. Which one of the green chemistry principles do you think might be the most important and why? 
I think that 'Prevent Waste' is very important because waste pollutes our planet. And that's not good

 Because without a earth to live on we will physically have nothing to exist on. 
2. Which one of the green chemistry principles do you think might be the most important and why? 
Prevent waste because waster will slowly build up on the planet and end up taking more space which is less space for trees which means less oxygen which means harder breathing which means death.
