McMaster Engineering Alumni
Connecting our #FireballFamily through events, networking, spotlights, and more.
Research from leading international expert on the health of the Great Lakes, Dr. Gail Krantzberg, suggests that the growing intensity and scale of pollution from plastics poses serious risks to human health and will continue to have profound consequences on the ecosystem.
Regeneration is possible, by reimagining the Great Lakes and the human condition, in ways that restores not only the resilience of the natural system, but also human capacity, flexibility, and moral authority to do the right thing.
