Welcome to Public Cloud for Public Good, a bi-weekly newsletter and podcast focused on making the world a better place. Whether that’s making peoples lives better, building services in the public & third sectors or thinking about coding more sustainably. This podcast is hosted by Aerin Booth, a Cloud Sustainability Consultant based in the UK.

This week Aaron is joined by Michael Dowdon, international keynote speaker, CEO of Andromeda Galactic Solutions, and President of FlexePark. As a leader with almost 30 years in the technology industry, he has worked alongside more than 100 companies to build human-centered solutions. Today we discuss the future of technology, coding and how he has set up his businesses to be more carbon neutral.

Michael’s chosen organisation for our £500 donation is Code.org, an education innovation non-profit dedicated to the vision that every student in every school should have the opportunity to learn computer science as part of their core K-12 education.

They are holding an event in Edinburgh on the 16th November 2022 focusing on sustainability.
