When it comes to talking about Sustainability, we always think about here 'on the ground' on Planet Earth. But what about that vast, infinite Universe sitting above our heads? Space!  What role can Space and satellites have in Sustainability? Can we use Space Technology to build a better future for ourselves, or will it end-up yet another contributing factor to the Climate Challenge? Enter Ryan Laird, our final guest of the season, CEO of Green Orbit Digital, for a fascinating insight into unexplored territory!
