Abstract

The Committee on Environmental Improvement (CEI) is a governance committee appointed jointly by the ACS Council and the Board of Directors. Environmental sustainability has been a long term focus of this committee in terms of writing policy statements to inform U.S. Congressional action as well as providing outreach to the general public. The Education subcommittee of CEI is working on several complementary sustainability projects including informing chemistry departments about energy efficient fume hood management and working with textbook authors to incorporate sustainability throughout their educational materials.
