This summer, I decided to incorporate a hefty dose of green chemistry and sustainability (GCS) in my undergraduate organic chemistry course, as many other like-min

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
