Do you know any impactful social responsible projects?
Many of us appreciate tools that save us time or money in our businesses. But there are also projects out there with a bigger mission (improving lives, supporting the planet, and helping those in need, to name a few).
Do you know of any inspiring projects that aim to make the world a better place?
Feel free to share them! (Bonus points for those projects that save lives, and you personally know the founders.)
Here are a few of my picks:
🌱 Ecosia – A search engine that uses its ad revenue to plant trees.
🥕 Olio – A food-sharing app that connects neighbours and local businesses to prevent food waste.
🥘 Too Good To Go – An app that helps reduce food waste by letting users buy unsold food from restaurants, bakeries, and shops at a lower price.
🐾 Petfinder – A platform that connects people with adoptable pets in shelters across the U.S.
🗑️ Litterati – A global community that identifies, maps, and collects litter.

+1 for Litterati. Saw a local school use it as a game—kids were racing to clean up trash. Tech + community = win.

@pravin_meh66451 That's pretty cool! Happy to see that the product is in a real use (especially by the youngest ones) :)
🌿 I’d love to share GreenSwitch!
It’s a free Chrome extension that helps people easily discover eco-friendly alternatives while shopping online (starting with Amazon). Our goal is to make sustainable choices more visible and accessible — nudging behavior toward conscious consumption, one search at a time.
We just launched and would love feedback from fellow impact-driven makers. Every click helps support greener choices! 💚
