What can a technologist do about climate change?
The best you can do is lobby for denser development and ending the rules that force a suburban character. Suburbs are more wasteful than cities. Riding a bike to work generates less pollution than a car. Buildings themselves are more efficiently insulated when it&#x27;s 100 units on a block vs. 100 single family homes on 50 acres. Deliveries can use more efficient and less polluting forms of transport, such as rail, more often or for more of the trip. Delivery trucks can stop on the block<p>While that&#x27;s going on, lobbying for a carbon tax would be a great way to lower emissions from industrial or other sources.
