| Abstract: | It would support proactive self-education by means of empirically founded scientific resources on the true causes and consequences of major sustainability issues (Angeloni, [5]) as well as the motivation and reasoning behind some individuals' disagreement with or even denial of them. Though efforts to bridge the industry-academia gap are underway (e.g., Bergmann et al., [16]; Perea & Brady, [68]), a mindset change among educators and academic researchers and the willingness to do science for science's true purpose (i.e., uncovering truths and generating problem-solving knowledge) rather than mere publish-or-perish, prestige, or financial motivations is crucial toward fostering information access in a more balanced and objective manner (for further reading see Connelly et al., [20]; and Gibb, [34]). Terms like sustainable development, radical innovation, diversity and inclusion, and circularity and zero-waste have become common buzzwords in the worlds of business, politics, and media, attracting substantial scholarly attention (e.g., Anand et al., [4]).
