""These were my earliest experiences of realizing that environmental pollution and human health are linked. I was really young at the time, but I understood this was a serious thing.""
""It showed us we can do something to reverse the environmental consequences of our actions.""
""Things are now feasible that were considered impossible a decade ago. These technologies can help us as a society move towards a circular economy.""
Ludmilla Aristilde, an environmental engineer, emphasizes the link between environmental pollution and human health, shaped by her experiences in Haiti. She learned about reversing environmental damage through reforestation efforts during her youth. Now, she works with synthetic biologists to develop biotechnological solutions for pollution, including microplastics and heavy metals. Engineered microorganisms are key to cleaning the environment and promoting circular industries, allowing for resource recovery from waste. Advances in these technologies are making previously impossible solutions feasible.
