I believe sustainability in our world is very important, which is why I believe environmental engineering is important. What about you?
I agree. I try my hardest to buy sustainable foods when I go grocery shopping. How does environmental engineering help with sustainability?
It addresses energy preservation and control of waste, along with other things.
Interesting. What kinds of methods can be used to control waste and preserve energy?
Recycling is a key component. Finding ways to reuse items can reduce the consumption of energy required to produce new materials.
Ahh I see. I recycle things when I can, especially plastics and paper. What type of other things can we recycle?
An important material to recycle includes plastic. We have high rates of plastic pollution.
I agree. I've seen pictures and videos of plastic polluting our oceans.
