Is technology our planet’s best hope? With Colin Butfield and Siobhan Gardner

It’s hard to think of a part of our lives that isn’t impacted by technology. It’s made our world more connected. Our work easier to do. Limitless choice at our fingertips. But it’s also contributed to a society that consumes more resources than ever before. We replace instead of repair. We upgrade instead of keep. We follow trends rather than embrace the timeless. Are these technologies enough to make a real difference? Or are they just a piece of the puzzle? What changes do we all need to make to create a healthier planet? And how can we empower others to embrace change too? How do we stay positive and focus on the future while our planet feels like it’s falling apart? How can we inspire action through hope instead of despair? Is it time to finally change the narrative? To help answer, we’re joined by Colin Butfield, Executive Director, Our Planet – WWF, and Siobhan Gardiner, Deloitte Ventures’ Climate Studio Lead.    Hosts: George Parrett and Ethan Worth Guests: Colin Butfield, Executive Director of Our Planet, WWF, and Siobhan Gardner, Climate Studio Lead, Deloitte Ventures Technical support: Deloitte’s Creative Studio Original music: Ali Barrett
