Loyola University has the following outreach program in green chemistry. Students at Loyola utilized two types of projects to demonstrate green chemistry principles to elementary and high school children. First, students visited schools, giving presentations on what is being done to promote green chemistry in addition to how the students can contribute. For Earth Day, an event was held to show students, faculty, and staff at the university ways in which the campus could realistically become greener.
