While green chemistry is typically seen as the domain of chemists and chemical engineers, social scientists are actively exploring the

Over the past several months, I’ve been traveling from coast to coast and abroad discussing the idea of a green chemistry and engineering education roadmap. The concept of a roadmap has emerged from listening to the needs of the green chemistry community.

Chemistry has historically been considered a discipline that could guarantee you a job. When chemistry is everything, how could it ever be otherwise? Unfortunately, in recent years in the United States we have begun to observe "otherwise." In 2012, an Ame

Dr. Anne E. Marteel-Parrish of Washington College and Dr. Martin A. Abraham of Youngstown State University have put together a new textbook for general chemistry titled, “Green Chemistry and Engineering: A pathway to sustainability.” For college students

Changing chemistry - the way it is taught, perceived, and applied - is a huge global task that we need to tackle with a clear and consistent message as a green chemistry community. This transition, of course, won’t happen all at once or all on its own. Co
