Experiments in green and sustainable chemistry

Green chemistry is a practical subject. While we can discuss the principles, debate its significance across a full product life-cycle, and argue for more legislative drivers, its value is in its application. This is because there are fundamental concerns over our traditional way of doing chemistry. We need to make our chemistry more efficient, less wasteful, more sustainable, and safer. 

Experiments in green and sustainable chemistry focuses on this, providing a source for teahcing practical green chemistry. James Clark offers his opinions on the text as a teaching resource.
