How to lighten your footprint on the planet, using tech for good

Event overview

Green Tech South West welcomes Jo Hand, co-founder of Giki to talk about Giki Badges and Giki Zero, two tools they’ve developed to measure, track and reduce your carbon footprint.

Giki Zero helps you to discover your footprint, find steps to reduce it and celebrate your successes while GikiBadges is an app to help you find sustainable and healthy products in the UK supermarket. Just scan the barcode, see which badges the product wins and check out the alternatives for new ideas.
