Abstract
This paper is aimed to describe the environmental attitude for high school students on the topic of buffer solution. The environmental attitude is one of the attitudes in the 18 values of the Indonesia National Character Education which is still very less applied in schools even though it is urgently needed for the environment sustainability. Buffer solution is one of the topic in chemistry that rarely linked with the environment even though actually it has a very large influence in the environment. Therefore, this paper is to describe how the environmental attitude that students have on the topic of buffer solution. The participants of this study were 68 students. In this paper qualitative methods were used by giving questionnaires to students. From the results obtained, most of the students still lacked a good environmental attitude on the topic of buffer solution, even though the students actually wanted to explore ways to maintain the environment.
