At this point in our collective concern over the growing climate crisis, we know what needs to be done but it’s an entirely different matter on how to make that necessary change happen. We see the immense power that technology yields in this battle and are the biggest proponents of utilizing it.

Yet, it’s daunting to know where to start.

That’s exactly why you should join our webinar!

From large brands and organizations, all the way to us as individuals, there is so much technology available that can support a global green agenda.

In our latest ‘Tech For Good talks’ we looked at just how vital technology is in turning the tides of the climate crisis and exciting new innovation that is going to help us do just that. Our hosts Sophia “Puff” Story and Gabby Crouch were keen to talk through just how doable this task is with our inspiration panel.

But first they shared a video of our findings from our recent ‘Bridging the Gap’ consumer report to show a barometer on what attitudes were around living more sustainably. As the video below show, the interest is there, but there is work to be done.

The scene had been set, we talked through some of our tech out there saving the planet, and some inspiring new pieces of innovation. Now it was time to open up the discussion to our ahhhh-mazing panel!

Meet the climate warriors
