With a scientist's rigorous understanding of how things are and an engineer's vision of how things could be, Bill completely re-frames the issue. He sees today's environmental crisis not as the end of progress but as an Opportunity for a tremendous new beginning - a moment for our society rethink the way we live and to create a cleaner, healthier, smarter world.
