EC in Discussion with...Ed Conway, 30.09.25

Описание: This is a recording of an online webinar as part of the 'Ecological Citizens in Discussion with...' series hosted by the Ecological Citizen(s) Network+ on Tuesday 30th September 2025.

In this talk and Q&A, we discuss 'From Mines to Microchips: What can we learn about how products are made?' with Ed Conway (author of Material World)

Have you ever wondered how the things you use everyday are made? You’re not alone! The importance of understanding the provenance of the materials that make our products is increasingly important - both for designers and manufacturers who make them, but also as consumers and Ecological Citizens who buy these products.

Ed was in discussion with ECN+’s Technologist in Residence, Jude Pullen, to not only share some remarkable facts about the hidden side of where materials come from, but to help us make more informed decisions about how to create and consume in a more responsible way. Essential viewing for designers, engineers, and any conscientious citizens! We thank our wonderful speaker for his contribution and time.

Ecological Citizen(s) Network+ is a 4 year project based at the Royal College of Art in collaboration with the University of York's Stockholm Environment Institute and Wrexham University. Our mission is to foster and proactively encourage (through technologically appropriate interventions) Ecological Citizenship for positive climate action.
