Resurgence Talks: Jo Hand & Liam Jones - Embracing Technology for Sustainability

Jo Hand set up Giki in 2017 to help people live sustainably and build their own path to Net Zero. Giki is working with organisations across the UK including companies, local government, schools, charities and community groups, as well as the High Level Climate Action Champion's Race to Zero campaign to inform and help everyone "Cut a Tonne in '21" ahead of COP26 in Glasgow in November. Join to find out how you can get involved.

Liam Jones was part of a food sharing network during his undergraduate studies in Manchester. Returning to London in 2016, he volunteered with OLIO in its early stages and became a full-time employee soon after. He is now responsible for growing OLIO's 'Food Waste Heroes programme', where volunteers collect surplus food from local retailers, offices and schools and share it with fellow OLIOers in their local communities so that no good food goes to waste. OLIO connects neighbours with each other, and Food Waste Hero volunteers with local businesses, so surplus food can shared rather than thrown away. Its mission is to unlock the value of food that is wasted in the home and local community, transforming our 'throw-away society' into a 'give away society' by sharing more and wasting less.
