A group of engineers is working to change the world for the billions of people who lack access to the basics: clean water, energy, sanitation, and education.
The group is called Engineers Without Borders. Earth & Sky’s Jorge Salazar spoke with founder Bernard Amadei, who in 2007 co-received the Heinz Award for the Environment. Amadei spoke about his vision of sustainable engineering.
