Being really hot is bad for you and it's bad for the earth. Mathew talks to Urban Heat Expert Dr Sebastian Pfautsch from the University of Western Sydney about how planning and design impacts urban overheating, and explains eco-friendly ways we can cool things down.

This was very insightful!
I usually don't leave devices on charge if they don't need it, but I'll start turning major powerboards off while sleeping/or when I'm out to prevent standby power :)

This video changed my perspective and also my life style from now on I guess... I have never thought that even my silly electronic toothbrush has a point on the heat. Also I really love how did you explain such an important and hard topic this entertaining and easy! Thank you!
