Climate Curious

Why we need bugs, not bots, with Kalpana Arias


Listen Later

“Nature is a deep form of technology,” says nature campaigner, Kalpana Arias, on Climate Curious. It sometimes feels like“big tech” is coming to get us, from its roots in military structures, and an overall drive to replace human connection with convenience, but what if we could “glitch” the system? From hacking Tamagotchi’s into garden sensors, to how guerilla gardening can reclaim our cities, and building “softer” technologies that bring together communities, Kalpana shares an alternate, more joyful version of nature and technology co-existing. Tune in with co-hosts Maryam Pasha and Ben Hurst to move past the binary thinking of “tech good vs tech bad”, and start building your own healthy and happy symbiosis of nature and tech today!
