On today's show David is joined by Uwe Schulte from The Conference Board, and talk about Fairphone.
David's just got back from IFA in Berlin, a meeting of more than 150,000 people to marvel at technology. But tech has a cost; this industry contributes around 2% to 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
