Resumen

REYES-SANCHEZ, Laura Bertha. Green Chemistry's contribution in the construction of socially responsible science. Educ. quím [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.2, pp.222-229. ISSN 0187-893X.

Between teachers and scientists the sustainable and supportable development are neither consensual nor conscientious concepts in Latin America; on the contrary, they are indeed an essential part of a conceptual argument which is necessary to approach from the educational ambit in order to be decanted to the citizenship. The lack of clearness at this respect allows us to consider the Green Chemistry as a supportable one, but at the same time, it is also designated sustainable - in agreement to the sustainable development concept affixed by the UN in 1987. However, beyond the simple language, a sustainable system is not conceptually the same than a supportable one, and they do not mean the same neither socially nor economically for the development of the region; on the other hand, they do affect all of the aspects of the life, including the educational and scientific development. The objective of this work is to analyze in a critical way the philosophy of the Green Chemistry with respect to the sustainability concept, in order to elucidate how to advance toward a chemical science that is able to contribute with a true development: a chemistry socially responsible whose paradigm is still pending to be established.

Palabras llave : science; social responsibility; sustainability; green chemistry; education.
