Hmmm, although the thought of a cancer curing substance is hopeful, I fear of the destruction to the ocean in order to find it. Forests have been destroyed by the tapping of rubber trees and harvesting of hard wood and I fear the same would happen to the ocean's depths. It seems a bit like the rape of the next frontier since we have already raped the one we inhabit. I hope they can be smarter about the search for resources at sea than they have been on land.

Green Chemistry is necessary for the evolution of life as we know it. Our old practices have not been working for us thus far. I am weary though of statements like, less hazardous or safer chemicals. It seems a little like green washing to me. We should be looking toward non-hazardous and safe substances. The use of renewable feedstock is a necessary adaptation to science, we cannot continue to use and abuse whats here and hope to continue to survive.

"green washing" ... I like that. That's what happens when capitalistic greed gets hold of a wholesome idea
