A Better World Through the Integration of Sustainability and Humanitarianism in Chemistry Education

The Chapter Three describes an approach to introduce and teach the concepts of sustainability and humanitarianism as emerging paradigms in a teacher training institution within a discourse on other researchers’ views. The interest in teaching chemistry by focusing on concepts for sustainable development and humanitarianism stems from environmental concerns with plastic wastes, illegal logging, illegal mining, and land degradation, that the country of this researcher is faced with. As educators, we are interested in educating future generations so that they can cope with environmental challenges that their country and other nations face. The microscale approach could be one way out that most developing and emergent economies need to close the gap in acquiring scientific knowledge in an ecologically acceptable manner to save existing spheres and posterity.
