“The future of transport is incredibly

exciting – I can’t wait for driverless cars

and the ‘hyperloop’, which will transport

passengers in pods at speeds of 760 mph,

revolutionising how we travel.”

FAVOURITE APPS

BE MY EYES “A free app

that connects blind people

with sighted volunteers for

visual assistance through

a video call.”

GIKI “This helps to make your

shopping sustainable – all you have

to do is scan a barcode and see which

badges have been awarded.”

GOODGYM “Looking for reasons to get

fit? GoodGym will hook you up with

people who need help with tasks. So you

can run to meet a group to help with

community projects, or to visit an older,

isolated person who’d like a chat and

a cup of tea, then run back.”

OLIO “Surplus food can be shared,

not thrown away.”

THRIFT “It will collect your best

second-hand clothes, photograph

and upload them to its online store,

and donate the proceeds to your

favourite charity.”

“I love Mimica Touch,

a gelatin-based packaging

solution that shows if food

is spoiled or not – so you

don’t need to rely on

inaccurate sell-by date labels.

The premise is simple: if the

label feels smooth, your

food is fresh; if it’s bumpy,

you shouldn’t eat it.”

ECOSIA

“Most of us

use an internet

search engine

every day.

A simple way to

do some good is

to use Ecosia.org,

a search engine

that uses profits

to plant trees –

60 million so far,

and counting.”

FAVOURITE PODCASTS

“My top tech and business picks

include: This Week In Startups, by Jason

Calacanis; Pivot, with Kara Swisher and

Scott Galloway; How I Built This with Guy

Raz; and The Twenty Minute VC.”

“A third of all

food produced

globally gets thrown

away each year.

A smart gadget in

the battle against

waste is the

NutriBullet

• perfect for using
  leftover fruits to
  make smoothies.”
