This weeks conversation is with Katie Patrick, an environmental engineer and software designer based in San Francisco. Katie works at the intersection of environmental behaviour, gamification, and technology, tackling complex environmental issues by applying data-driven game and behaviour-change techniques.Passionate about the power of gaming to save the planet, Katie is an author and podcast host, How to Save the World: How to make changing the world the greatest game ever played.She has collaborated with UNEP, NASA JPL, Goggle, Magic Leap, IES, Institute for the future, and Stanford. Katie’s now founded multiple climate-focused platforms and startups:
🏞️ Urban Canopy, a map-based application that uses satellite imaging of urban heat islands and vegetation cover to encourage urban greening and cooling initiatives
⚡Energy Lollipop, a Chrome extension and outdoor screen project that shows the electric grid's CO2 emissions in real-time for California. These days Katie is busy building a “Fitbit for the Planet”, to show people real-time data from sensors and satellites to teach them their environmental footprint – CO2, water, waste, pollution – just as a Fitbit shows the number of steps taken. ⚡🛰️ 🎮We hope you enjoy this conversation 💥
