Chemistry C234: Green Chemistry

Chemistry C234 - Green Chemistry: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Sustainability (Spring 2011, UC Berkeley). Instructors: Professor John Arnold, et al. Meeting the challenge of global sustainability will require interdisciplinary approaches to research and education, as well as the integration of this new knowledge into society, policymaking, and business. Green Chemistry is an intellectual framework created to meet these challenges and guide technological development. It encourages the design and production of safer and more sustainable chemicals and products.
