Jordan Erica Webber finds out how two scientists are employing green technology in very different ways to help curb environmental issues

Current estimates suggest that there are 7.5 billion people living on Earth, which is putting a strain on biodiversity. With increased need for solutions to environmental issues, people from the world of technology are also stepping in to do what they can to help redress the balance between humanity and the natural world.

But are we wasting time and money on experimental technology that might not make it past the finish line? And can the use of technology at a grass-root level actually increase awareness and influence those with the power to make real change?

This week, Jordan Erica Webber speaks to technologist and researcher Matěj Karásek and climate scientist Henri Drake to hear how they are using technology in interested ways to try and help mitigate global environmental problems.
