Abstract

This piece was prompted by a call to all departments from the Chancellor of Chapman University to define their roles within a sustainable development and global environment. Because of the wide-ranging impact of the subject matter, we believe that our point of view will benefit the general public beyond Chapman University.How, then, can any chemistry department help in this effort? Chemistry is a specific discipline in science that tries to understand and explain the makeup and changes of all things that have mass and occupy space. Over the years, chemistry has steadily advanced into the study of complete molecular structures in science and related areas. Surely, a subject as all-encompassing as chemistry can play a role in sustainability.
