Climate activism at The College
In every area from the sciences and engineering to the humanities, politics and religion, ASU teachers, students and researchers are immersed in the conversation about the challenges of climate change and the potential solutions. In the Fulton Schools, with support from the National Science Foundation, Timothy Long, who is also a professor in the School of Molecular Sciences, is among researchers working on ways to either reduce, reuse or recycle all plastics. Fulton Schools Associate Professor Mathew Green, a chemical engineer and a member of Long’s research team, says if the project is able to accomplish the goal its sets for forth in its proposal, its societal impact could be an immense step in reducing a big climate change threat.
