- Description:When you've lived in places where issues like having a healthy water
source is a struggle, you have a greater appreciation for the value of
the abundant resources we have in the United States. Melissa Rickert's
exposure to such places during her work in the Peace Corps formed the
backbone for her career in environmental education and sustainability.
She's focused on helping others consider the environmental,
(more) economic and social impacts of their choices. Hear about the kinds of career opportunities across Wisconsin and the world in the area of resource management and sustainability.
