To that end, this article aims to present a theoretical essay,based on the literature attempting to situate the reader, particularlyteachers, about the discussions, conflicts, breaks, tensions andconsensus involving EE and DSE paradigms. We intended tocontextualise the green chemistry's emergence scene and seek closerassumptions to Environmental Education's criticism as paradigm foreducation in green chemistry, trying to guide a new perspective ontraining chemistry professionals at all educational levels.
