An introduction to principles of green chemistry and a few applications of green chemistry will be presented. I will review various resources available for teaching green chemistry including the Green Chemistry Institute and Green Chemistry Network. I will give some examples of how green chemistry has been incorporated into the high school classroom. I will discuss Loyola's program in green chemistry and the high school outreach part of the program.
