View submission: Bill Nye, UNDENIABLY back. AMA.
Hi Bill! I am a senior in mechanical engineering at a well known engineering school interested in sustainable design. How do you think the world is handling the issue of sustainability today? And are we doing enough to try to make a difference in terms of sustainable engineering practices?

First of all, we are clearly not doing enough.
I want YOU to invent the better electricity storage device, the better battery, and I want you to invent a more efficient way to desalinate water. If you can do either or both of those things, you could utterly change the world.

If you're interested in polymers too, there's some interesting research that's using polymer filters to desalinate water without distillation.
