【 摘 要 】

Planet transformationscaused by human intervention in the last 200 years are largely due to chemicalimpact. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and analyze the environmentalperception of undergraduate students and lecturers in the Chemistry course ofthe Federal University of Lavras, accounting for the topics "Environmental Definition"and "Relationship between Chemistry and Environment". Two thematic axes fordiscussion were proposed using theories of Social Representation and EnvironmentalComplexity, with the aim of stimulating the conservationist reasoning and actions.Such axes were proposed to give support to the education of chemists at theundergraduate level.
