Beyond the buzz: Mapping the root causes of tech’s unsustainability
Thinking in systems: Mapping the current reality of unsustainable tech workshop focussed on defining the categories that contribute to this unsustainable nature. The initial idea was to just build 12 categories, but as with any systems thinking workshop, the workshop evolved into something bigger and more beautiful.
