About this listen
In this bonus episode of Eco-Culture, hosts Jonathan and Loritza chat about a surprising mix of topics: Loritza’s husband, the top manga seller on Whatnot, and the culture of reading; the hidden environmental cost of AI data centers—especially massive water use and cooling challenges—and possible solutions like closed-loop systems and immersion cooling; economic and regulatory concerns as AI scales; and the UK’s sewage crisis highlighted by the new YA novel Floaters and the group Surfers Against Sewage.
The episode blends practical resources (EESI, company names, and activist groups), personal stories, and calls to research and support more sustainable tech and environmental practices.
