life

How do we strengthen citizens’ positions in relation to governments and corporations, so they can have a positive impact on their health and living environment? Due to technological developments, climate change and social upheaval, we all have to deal with a multitude of forces on a daily basis. These have an effect on our living environment and affect our lives and our bodies. This varies from particulate matter in the air, to the quality of food or green areas in our cities. At the same time, there are more opportunities and tools for citizens to influence their own environment. Life investigates how citizens can take technology into their own hands to improve their health, the living environment and society as a whole.
