Our regular EcoHeroes segment features people who want to transform our environment and ecosystem. Today, we’ll speak with Nancy Tuchman. After creating a biodiesel lab in Chicago, she decided to launch the Institute of Environmental Sustainability at Loyola University-Chicago. The initiative is an outgrowth of her belief in Loyola’s Jesuit mission of social justice and service. Nancy will tell us about her life-long passion for environmental advocacy and why she believes her Institute could ignite environmental breakthroughs. PHOTO: Courtesy of Loyola University
