Description
This episode is coming at you straight from the Collision Conference, a conference where tech meets solutions for everything. Today, I am focused on the Planet: Tech portion of the conference, where I saw speakers from the Plastic Pollution Coalition, Climate Action Network Canada, Loliware, Akoin (From the musician, Akon!), and the CEO of the Leonardo Dicaprio Foundation. I also saw a very special guest, Environment And Climate Change Minister, Catharine McKenna! They all converged to discuss how we need technology to fight climate change, loss of biodiversity and a whole suite of problems facing the planet. I provide a quick summary of what went down during the morning and I hope to get you some interviews in the coming days. Let me know in the Speak Up For Blue Facebook Group what tech solutions you know of that are helping the planet: http://www.speakupforblue.com/group. Want to get started on living for a better Ocean?
