TECH FOR CLIMATE

from From KNOW-HOW to WOW Hosted by Robert Bosch GmbH

What can you, what can everyone contribute when it comes to protecting our planet? How could technology help us live a more sustainably life? That’s what we investigate in this episode of From KNOW-HOW to WOW. Our hosts Melena and Geoff are interested in one aspect in particular: using water responsibly. They meet Bosch engineer Harald Moschütz in the laundry room, where he debunks some intractable laundry myths. Later on he explains how smart technology helps our washing machines get class A energy labels. Melena and Geoff also talk to Emily, who writes the “Accidental Hippies” blog. Her family only has a limited supply of water and she explains why it’s not that difficult to use less. Our hosts are particularly impressed by Khagendra Thapa. He so effectively recycles waste water at Bosch in Australia, that he can “harvest” valuable nickel and copper from it. Diving into this topic makes Melena and Geoff realize one thing first and foremost: living sustainably is a matter of mindset. In the long run it’s a mixture of role models, new ideas, and new technologies that help us achieve our climate goals.
