Human objects in space are creating dangerous clutter. MIT Assistant Professor Danielle Wood advocates for sustainable space technology, stressing the need to respect both people and the environment in future missions. This approach is crucial for managing the "industrial waste" accumulating beyond Earth.

One promising solution involves a wax-based fuel for satellites, made from beeswax and candle wax. This less toxic and more affordable alternative would help bring objects closer to Earth for safe deorbiting and destruction, offering a sustainable way to address space debris.

Humanity faces a critical climate crisis, with only about nine years to halve global CO2 emissions by 2030. While digitalization profoundly shapes our lives, its potential role in climate policy for achieving this rapid reduction remains largely unexplored.

Nick Nuttall, International Strategic Communications Director for Earth Day Network and We Don't Have Time, and a UN veteran, emphasizes digitalization's opportunities for sustainable development. He views digital technology as a vital tool against climate change, citing examples from ocean clean-up to renewable energy. However, Nuttall warns against seeing it as a cure-all, stressing that digitalization must be used wisely to be effective.

Nuttall's insights were shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
