What is "green engineering"? Former Cornell University graduate students Michael Shafer and Robert MacCurdy describe their interest in solving environmental challenges and share insights about tackling design tasks. As Robert says, "There are a million ways to do something wrong, but there are only a few ways to do something right," but looking to the natural environment can help. As Michael points out, "Nature has done a lot of the things that we want to do, and it does it a lot better than we could ever hope to. So there's a lot of inspiration out there."
