Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWe use the Futures Wheel framework to explore a provocative scenario: What happens when toxic air becomes an 18-month reality? Our mapping of possible consequences reveals surprising cascading effects, from "clean air caravan communities" to digital twin homes that optimize for health. Drawing from current examples and real-world toxic events—we examine how this crisis could transform housing, work, and social structures. Through our collaborative exercise, we uncover complex interconnections between air, water, and food systems.  The implications for equity and adaptation resonate with challenges we're already facing today.For the full transcript and references: Episode WebpageReferences available on the Episode Webpage New episodes every Thursday!
