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.

πŸ₯• Olio – A food-sharing app that connects neighbours and local businesses to prevent food waste.

πŸ₯˜ 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.

πŸ—‘οΈ Litterati – A global community that identifies, maps, and collects litter.

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

@pravin_meh66451Β 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 β€” 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! πŸ’š

You can check it out and support us here: https://www.producthunt.com/products/greenswitch/launches

@george_parker3Β I think that Be My Eyes will be relevant to me soon! My eyesight is so bad. πŸ˜…

Here in France, we have an amazing app called Geev 🀩 It lets people give away food and items they no longer need, instead of throwing them away. It’s such a great example of tech being used to fight waste and support local communities πŸ’›
