Synopsis

This call to climate action examines ways we can leverage the growing power of smartphones and other technologies to become effective environmental stewards in the face of our climate crisis. <p/>Personal technologies are creating what the Environmental Defense Fund calls "a transformational shift" in how we address environmental problems. Time to Think Small explores how these brand-new approaches are already playing a huge role in winning some of the most difficult and important environmental struggles of our day-from fighting climate change, to ensuring drinkable water for everyone, to saving endangered animals, to keeping plastic out of the ocean. <p/>Learn how these technologies magnify and multiply the power everyone has as individuals to save our environment and how this tremendous power is not only growing, but also has the huge benefit of being independent of sudden shifts in political leadership. <p/>Drawing on two decades of environmental policy and a career working with endangered species mixed with his previous career in tech, Myers looks at the different ways we can be empowered to find environmental solutions.
