Description
Who thought that fuel or plastic could be made from plants? Learn how scientists, industrial leaders, and agriculturalists joined a movement called Chemurgy in the mid-1930s and put ‘chemistry to work’ and enabled the U.S. to potentially reduce imports and become self-sustaining.
The program will be held outside.
