Saving the world one techy at a time
by Natalia Waniczek
In this talk we’ll discuss climate change, how technology is escalating it, and how we as individuals can kick off big systemic change.
We have so much to be grateful for. The world around us is beautiful, and power is in our hands to make sure that future generations will have as much, if not more, to be grateful for.
Unfortunately, the tech sector produces about 830 million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually, which is about 2% of the global CO2 emissions, the same amount as aviation. According to the UN we only have 10 years left to prevent irreversible damage from climate change.
You will walk out of this talk having learned what the current state of tech's impact on climate change is, and a number of steps we can take to reduce our carbon footprint, and prevent this from escalating further.
