A Sustainable, High-Tech Life

from Why We Wrote This · host The Christian Science Monitor

But it also makes us productive and provides essential support for modern lives. Climate writer Stephanie Hanes joins host Clay Collins for a conversation about data centers and rare earths – and about being intentional and aware of the tradeoffs that modern life puts in front of us.
