What can technology do to tackle the question of sustainability?
David's just got back from IFA in Berlin, a meeting of more than 150,000 people to marvel at technology. But tech has a cost; this industry contributes around 2% to 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. So what opportunities are their to learn, to change practices and to help consumers make better informed choices?
