A recent focus in course development has been climate change, and the role of chemistry in the sustainable world.  There is an increasing concern about the impact of human activities on the earth, and a desire to learn about those effects. This presentation details the development of course content for EGEE101: Energy and the Environment. The main objectives of this course are to: provide basic understanding and appreciation of energy and environmental concepts and interconnectedness; analyze energy consumption patterns; discuss various energy resources that power the modern society; examine the energy conversion processes; explore interrelationships between energy use and industrial progress and environmental consequences; discuss future energy alternatives.  EGEE101 is a hybrid course, conducted both in the classroom and on the web, which is a novel environment and has necessitated new methods of communicating information to the public.<br/>
