Summary
For more than 10 years now, the University of Toronto's Green Chemistry Initiative has been a wonderfully creative incubator for green chemistry learning on that campus. In this episode of Green Chem Essential, with host James Rea: Hear how -- and why -- this student-led group works to engage their peers in the science of sustainability.

The interview includes discussion about their annual spring-time GCI Symposium, and a new workshop they developed with Beyond Benign to help grad students bolster their green chemistry experience and understanding. Great insights throughout for students and faculty alike!

My guests for this episode are Francisco Yarur and Eloi Grignon, grad student leaders of the Green Chemistry Initiative, and Juliana Vidal of Beyond Benign.

This episode includes 1) a 2-min preview video, 2) a 31-minute video of the full interview... and 3) a soon-to-be-released audio podcast version.
