Wearable technology is everywhere—from smartwatches and fitness trackers to “revolutionary” health-monitoring rings and smart glasses. Promoted as tools to enhance your health, productivity, and connectivity, these devices promise to be indispensable.

Green technology is often hailed as the saviour of our planet. From solar panels and electric cars to carbon capture and smart grids, we’re told that innovation will lead us to a cleaner, greener future. While there’s no doubt that technology plays a vital role in addressing climate change, the reality of green tech is often far messier than the marketing suggests.
