Hello! What is it like to be an environmental engineer?
Environmental Engineering is a very esteemed job that deals with protection of the environment and the world we live in. Have you ever met an Environmental Engineer?
I have not, not yet. What would you say is the hardest part?
Environmental Engineers have to find plausible solutions to fix things like public health, waterborne diseases and proper sanitation. It must be very hard to deal with things like that, wouldn't you say?
With the progression we make as a society into reliance on convenience, I would imagine so. Plastic seems to gain traction as a material.
Yes, that is very true. That is why recycling is so important! Environmental Engineers deal with everything from that to the water scarcity in Africa
In areas where water not only is scarce, but can contain potential illness, what technology advances have been made to cleaner sources of water?
Keeping the water free of Cholera is crucial in the battle against disease. Cholera is created by contamination and once the water is contaminated it is hard to fix
In bigger sources of water, like the oceans or large lakes, what is the best method for filtering human refuse, and do you personally work on technology or do you work more on the methods to improve?
I work more with the technology of Environmental Engineering but it is an interesting question you provoke.
