Why Silicon Valley needs a new name
We can thank silicon for everything from computers to solar panels, but it's reaching its limits. Here’s why and what’s next.

We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
