Integrating green chemistry throughout the lectures and labs instead of having an independent green chemistry or toxicology course., Student-Led: Students take a hands-on approach to learning green chemistry by developing new labs and participating in the “greening” process.

Seminar Series: Have professionals come into the classroom or give a webinar lecture on toxicology or green chemistry during one of the class sessions within a course., Research: Incorporate green chemistry into student research. Students can better understand the difference and benefits of greener vs. traditional methods.
