Summary
This resource has been developed through a collaboration of Beyond Benign, MilliporeSigma, My Green Lab, and a network of chemistry faculty. Green Chemistry: Principles and Lab Practices is an introductory primer for the Guide to Green Chemistry Experiments for Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Labs*, and contains a variety of resources, tools, and references for practicing green chemistry in laboratory settings. Green Chemistry: Principles and Lab Practices can also be used in a standalone format as a guidebook to provide you with the resources and background knowledge needed to green up your own undergraduate organic chemistry lab experiments.

*Green Chemistry: Principles and Lab Practices references an updated version of the Guide to Green Chemistry Experiments for Undergraduate Organic Chemistry Labs that is currently in the process of being uploaded to the GCTLC platform. For now, the 2018 version of this Guide is available in this curated collection.
