Despite the underlying fundamental reliance on chemistry innovations for a more sustainable future, undergraduate chemistry teaching laboratories still rely on traditional experiments that are resource-intensive and employ hazardous reagents. The recently released and updated ‘A Guide to Green Chemistry Experiments for Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Labs’ seeks to provide educators with a set of safer, greener alternative organic chemistry experiments to demonstrate key chemical transformations at the undergraduate level. Quantifiable benefits include waste reduction, hazard reduction, and cost savings. This presentation will focus on how to use this new, FREE, customizable guide to educate the next generation of scientists to design experiments with sustainability in mind, and how to use it as a resource for innovation and best practices in research labs. The resource guide has been developed through the partnership of Beyond Benign, My Green Lab, and MilliporeSigma, to facilitate the widespread adoption of green chemistry in the standard undergraduate curriculum.
