[00:03] Sustainability. It's a word we hear a lot these days, [00:06] but what does sustainability mean to you? [00:11] To me, it means protecting our planet for generations to [00:14] come healing the damage already done and learning what [00:17] we can do to create a better future. [00:20] Like investigating other ways to reduce our dependency on [00:23] fossil fuels by harnessing alternative sources of energy from [00:26] the marine environment which comprises over 70% of [00:29] the Earth's surface. [00:31] But getting to understand how every organism plays [00:34] a part in our world from insects to mammals and [00:37] even microorganisms. [00:39] Learning about ways to minimize wasted energy wasted [00:42] food and wasted resources and studying [00:45] about internet connected devices to guide action [00:48] on air pollution and emissions. [00:53] Our research on wind and tidal stream turbines and more [00:56] could lead to potentially endless source of [00:59] natural sustainable energy. No greenhouse gases. No [01:02] pollution no harm. [01:06] I'm passionate about managing our Landscapes to help nature [01:09] take care of itself. Understanding our world helps [01:12] us to protect it. [01:14] I want a future with cleaner oceans cleaner [01:17] air and much less waste. [01:22] And while we're studying different courses, we all have [01:25] the same passions at heart to create a better future through [01:28] sustainability and research. Sustainability at [01:31] Bangor University - it's more than [01:34] a word. It's a way of life.
