The Institute for Green Science is dedicated to the intellectual
growth and technical training of a new generation of ethically aware
professionals who understand and practice sustainable science -- from
the molecular level on up.
Visit the Institute for Green Science at Carnegie Mellon University's beta site and its Learning Green online courses. The online curriculum gives students the tools to build a better world. Terry Collins began teaching the first classes in green chemistry at Carnegie Mellon University in 1992.
Training Green Scientists
With this demonstration, we have developed and combined simple but innovative online tools that students can use to learn important and complex concepts about green science.
To learn more about these and the interactive lesson book we have created, please watch the Learning Green tutorial)

Training Green Scientists
If we hope to create a sustainable world, we will need a new breed of thoughtful scientists marked by their determination to create technologies, products and processes that are "green." The problem is, the world is short on green scientists because they aren't being trained fast enough. We can't hope to develop sustainable technologies if we aren't successfully providing scientists with the background and tools they need to do the job.Trying the Idea On For Size
