Earth, Wind & Fire: Let's Talk Circularity
summary
Last three months are the hottest in 120,000 years and wildfires cause roughly 20% of global carbon emissions, so the session focuses on concrete tech: AI plus high‑resolution aerial imagery builds 3D forest maps and classifies every tree to detect bark beetles and plan removals; airplane flights and shoebox‑size satellites spot single‑tree ignitions and model fire spread for utilities and governments; supply‑chain fixes cut flower waste 4–5x, use sea freight for 10–20x shipping‑emission reductions, smaller packaging and annual carbon budgets (7% reduction target).
