Abstract
Sustainable future or development is a conscious effort by humans to secure the future and existence of coming generations especially against threats like global warming and climate change without jeopardizing their current existence. It involves the massive undertaking of figuring out how to meet present needs while simultaneously considering the uncharted territory of such a large future population. It is an agglomeration of individual, community, national and global efforts in all spheres/sectors so as to secure and make mother earth a conducive haven for the present generation as well as generations to come. This paper tries to look at the instrument of social psychology as well as education as tools geared at helping people develop the right attitude and behaviour in the effort to a sustainable future. It is believed that individuals could be encouraged to inculcate the 7Rs: reduce, reuse, repair, recycle, respect, reflect and refuse towards sustainability. Finally, it was recommended that a holistic approach that focus on helping individuals imbibe the appropriate attitudes, values and knowledge on issues that will help in contributing towards securing a sustainable future should be adopted.
