Luna39: Chemists must re-engineer their working methods as part of efforts to solve the environmental crisis — including rethinking how current and future generations of chemists are educated. April 27th, 2022 2:08pm

432parkresident: @Luna39, I completely agree. I teach AP chemistry and I have my students create a project each year designing methods for how to better use their knowledge of chemistry to help solve the environmental crisis. April 27th, 2022 3:26pm

JamaicaMan: This article is alarmingly accurate. In many countries, sustainability is not yet treated as a core or underpinning concept in undergraduate and senior-school chemistry. Concerningly, in many nations, school chemistry curricula remain similar to those taught several decades ago. April 27th, 2022 4:58pm
