Ken Friesen, Christopher Wiebe and Devin Latimer started the Green Chemistry Committee in the Department of Chemistry in the early 2000’s. Since that time, the department has developed lab experiments and course material to teach the principles and metrics of Green Chemistry, leading to publications in Green Chemistry Letters and Reviews, The Journal of Chemical Education and The Conversation.
BSc Chemistry, BSc Chemistry (Honours) and BSc Chemistry (Joint Program in Applied Chemistry with Red River College).

Currently incorporating the consideration of the principles of green chemistry and/or the calculation of green chemistry metrics into every lab in the organic chemistry program. A research and development project called Learning to Green – Greening to Learn teaches chemical techniques in a comparative fashion while introducing the 12 principles and metrics of green chemistry which can provide a chemistry fundamentals learning opportunity in addition to the tuition of sustainability.
