A Green Go-Getter

greenA slum in India has gotten cleaner water, thanks to filters developed by engineers in an organization that Regina Clewlow created. Clewlow started Engineers for a Sustainable World to encourage fellow engineers to brainstorm ways to improve the lives of people in poor countries. As a high school student, she learned about environmental issues through Amnesty International. In college, she was disappointed to find that there weren’t many opportunities to connect engineering to social problems. Her organization now has about 3,000 members. Clewlow is currently getting a Ph.D. in engineering systems and studying how developing countries can use renewable energy.

Meet Regina Clewlow in this video about Engineers for a Sustainable World:
