He was one of fourteen students pioneering the newly offered Certificate of Sustainability Studies at the University of Calgary, the first of its kind offered in Canadian Universities. Marco’s key interest in sustainability is to bring harmony to nature and society. He believes that bringing sustainability practices into daily living at home, in leisure, or in the workplace, will be integral to mitigate the effects of Climate Change.
