Education & Ethics

Educating students and the public about green chemistry and discussing the ethics of creating polluting chemicals is an important part of the mission of the Institute for Green Science. Terry Collins and others in the Institute not only teach college classes in green chemistry and debate other scientists about the environment but also actively bring in lecturers to campus, and reach out to kids, and hosted a green chemistry summer program.

Online Course: Introduction to Green Chemistry

The Institute for Green Science has developed an online course focused on green chemistry. A beta version of the course, An Introduction to Green Chemistry, is now available free of charge.
