This is Gary’s first talk at a Redmonk event and It’s so fantastically engaging that we can’t recommend it enough. It’s no secret how polluted our air is becoming. But it’s all too easy for us to look the other way, especially when we have nowhere near enough usable data on the subject. Gary is on a mission to place affordable effective sensors all over the world so that we can stop looking the other way before it’s too late. But there so much more to this talk than that. With plenty of witty banter, jokes galore and some heckling from @monkchips. This is a must watch for techies and muggles alike.
