Andrew Charlton Believes Technology Can Save Us

According to Dr. Andrew Charlton, “Technology is a tool that enables us to do more with less.” A basic credo practiced by most in the technology field, Charlton believes this idea could help lead to an answer to all of our global sustainability issues.

Andrew Charlton : Potential of Technology

Passionate about climate change reform, as well as fair trade ethics, Andrew Charlton strives to create an impact on these issues that will safeguard future generations from the negative effects incurred by the overuse of energy and natural resources from past generations.

As it stands, by 2050 the global population will have to find ways to double food production as well as maintain standards of air, land and water quality that will sustain human life for generations to come. Andrew Charlton wakes to this deadline every day, motivated to find solutions that will prevent potential disaster and even perhaps create an opportunity for economic growth. He believes our technological advancement could serve as an engine to reduce carbon footprints and educate others on how simple day-to-day habits could make a lasting impact on the environment.

The multi-faceted issues that Andrew Charlton speaks of are hindered by economic disparity, which is why fair-trade ethics consume a big portion of his debate. While he is a supporter of clean coal and other progressive steps towards clean energy, he stresses that these technologies are no good if developing countries can’t afford them. He forecasts that as the developed world embraces newer eco-friendly approaches that developing countries will fall back on the old ways, perpetuating the destruction of environment and draining of natural resources. He persists to stress that technology could present a solution, although it must be cheap.
