This paper presents ways of designing the organic chemistry curriculum to include green chemistry and then implementing the new curriculum in academic institutions taking into account common barriers to adopting new curricula which include lack of resources and lack of instructor engagement. The author describes how systems thinking and the idea of leverage points facilitated curriculum development along with 20 laboratory exercises, a textbook, a searchable database, and a series of workshops.
