我们必须在从非专业课程到专业课程的整个课程中注入绿色化学。在过去的16年里，自从环保署开始绿色化学以来，绿色化学教育取得了重大进展，但我们还有很长的路要走。已经开发了绿色化学教材，但这些往往是补充材料（最初在现有教科书之外，但更经常地在现有教科书中），这些材料很容易被试图在已经人满为患的课程中涵盖传统材料的教师忽视。一项对大学化学教科书的调查显示，141本书中有33本至少包含了绿色化学的内容，但大多数只是粗略地提到绿色化学一两次，而且通常是作为补充材料。讨论了几本“鹤立鸡群”的教科书，并对提高现有教科书中绿色化学的覆盖率提出了建议。
It is essential that we infuse green chemistry across the curriculum from non-majors courses to majors courses. Over the last 16 years, since the beginnings of green chemistry at the EPA, green chemistry education has made significant strides but we still have a long way to go. Green chemistry educational materials have been developed, but these tend to be supplementary materials (at first outside but more frequently within existing textbooks) that are easily ignored by instructors trying to cover traditional materials in an already overcrowded course. A survey of undergraduate chemistry textbooks revealed that 33 out of 141 books contained at least some coverage of green chemistry, but the majority only mentions green chemistry once or twice in a cursory manner and generally as supplementary material. Several textbooks that "stand out in the crowd" are discussed and recommendations for improving the coverage of green chemistry in existing textbooks are given.
