Crim suggested that if infusing green chemistry into the cur • The promotion of excellence in chemistry educa- riculum broadly is the preferred approach, low-entry barrier tion and in professional training of chemists; and bite-sized increments are needed to appeal to over • The gathering and dissemination of information that whelmed faculty. On behalf of CPT, Crim offered the CPT maintains and improves the quality of chemistry education newsletter as a forum to provide green chemistry examples beyond the secondary level; or links to green chemistry materials to the community.

for green chemistry, the argument should be presented in a fashion that suggests that green chemistry rests on the core Davidson next spoke of the Carnegie Mellon initiative organizing principles of chemistry. Fourth, Crim pointed out "Environment Across the Curriculum." The initiative goal is that some factions of the community perceive green chemis- to introduce environmental modules into nonenvironmental try as soft science.
