Jaymi Heimbuch's interview with me about Smart Grids

Jaymi Heimbuch treehugger smart grid interview

Today, mobile phones are ubiquitous. The sheer volume of the devices on this planet is staggering - in the US alone, 450,000 cell phones are discarded every day. Over half of the world's population has quick, easy access to cell phones and wireless technology. For example, 97% of people surveyed in Tanzania had access to a mobile phone, while just 27% could access a land line phone. In Kenya, only 19% of the country's 36 million people are reached by traditional banking methods...but virtually all have access to mobile phones. Knowing these facts, it isn't surprising that the devices are being used as a key tool for environmental change.

Sustainability is a big, big concept. Attempts to define it feel nearly impossible since it encompasses philosophy, ecology, economy, sociology and more.

Treehugger's Jaymi Heimbuch writes a great essay on sustainability.
