In his talk titled "What Industry Can Doxsee described how the University of Oregon hosts a Green Chemistry Education Workshop7 that focuses on Do to Encourage Green Chemistry Education: A Pfizer Case Study" Cue indicated that industry is interested in implementing green chemistry into organic chemistry curpromoting green chemistry because industry now recognizes its social responsibility to the community.4 Cue described Pfizer's development of the Pfizer Groton Labs 5 Rohm and Haas was recognized for its development of SEAGreen Chemistry Workshop.

Addressing these roadblocks, collaborating green chemists or engineers as full-time staff because the with green chemists and engineers at other institutions, and company must provide a competitive salary and benefits. It developing a Green Chemistry Institute workshop for new is important to note that the definition of a green chemist or faculty may provide inspiration and therefore encourage new engineer is still a gray area; some scientists practice green faculty to incorporate green chemistry and engineering con- chemistry or engineering but do not label themselves as cepts into their curricula.
