My Goals Today
• Emphasize the connection between green chemistry and safety.
• Make that case that GC and safety nicely complement each other.
• Show you what we are doing at St. Olaf College in both these areas.

Green Chemistry
Good reasons to teach about green chemistry
• Green chemistry is all about purposeful design.
• Green chemistry demands accountability.
• Green chemistry resonates with student creativity and interest in caring for the environment and for the future.

Purposeful Design
• Green chemistry requires a consideration of intent.
– Which of the products is the desired product?
– Is there a better way accomplish the same result?• Involving fewer hazards
• Involving less waste

Lessons learned:
• Faculty and students start talking.
Just talk about the different approaches you might take … I think that's kind of how I got it or at least that's how it was when I took it with [organic chemistry lecture professor] where we were just talking, you know, about things and we would just talk about it a little bit and the advantages and disadvantages of it with regards to safety…
