Building sustainable systems

A multidisciplinary team of U-M students called the Pantanal Partnership left recently to spend the summer in the Pantanal wetlands of Brazil developing technologies that can power and sustain a rural community center. They hope their efforts will help stem the exodus of rural Brazilians to the big cities by making the region more self-sustainable.
