Behind the Episode: Getting Green Chemistry into the Classroom
Green chemistry holds incredible potential to help transition all corners of the global economy toward a more sustainable path. But that potential can only be fully realized if this exciting discipline is woven into science curricula at all levels. Much has been done to achieve this, but much work remains.
