science because I'm an engineer by training I have a masters in chemical

engineering and so it comes naturally to me to think of the hard sciences. You

know many people think of the environment as

something green and wholesome, but in truth,

environmental protection in this century is very technical work. It's the ability

to look forward for win-win solutions and to innovate in the space that

assumes that we don't have to sacrifice air pollution or water pollution or

degradation of our land and communities in order to have jobs and environmental

progress and so I've always said that the history of environmental protection

is actually especially in the US, a history of environmental innovation and

there is a multi-billion dollar industry in our country which is all about

protecting our air and water and land quality and we're really proud to

serve internationally for many countries as partners and helpmates

and technical assistance and governance issues around that space

of environmental protection and sustainability.
