Daniela Schiffer: Individual and Collective Sustainability Through Gamification

Daniela Schiffer: Individual and Collective Sustainability Through Gamification
Daniela: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! In our Klima-Taler app we encourage citizens to adopt more sustainable and healthier lifestyle choices. Our innovative approach combines nudging and gamification. Citizens create Klima-Taler (climate coins) by saving five kilograms of carbon dioxide for walking, cycling, and using public transport. These KT can be exchanged for discounts or free admissions in participating cities, creating a tangible incentive for saving carbon dioxide. Our mission is to make sustainability rewarding and accessible for everyone.

Chantel: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Indigeponics provides educational resources for communities to grow their own food using sustainable growing systems, like hydroponic systems. In the past, we had a demonstrational greenhouse that encouraged communities to interact with plants in a unique space that combines science, technology, and culture from an indigenous perspective. Currently, we provide free resources for communities about the basics of hydroponics, plant needs like light, nutrition, and water, and different types of hydroponic systems. Overall, our goal is to continue help others grow tasty food that is easily accessible and culturally relevant to bring communities together through food and kindness.

Laura: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Many companies want to make sustainable products and packaging, but they don't actually have easy access to all the data it takes to make those things. Typically, this information, commonly known as specifications, is scattered across different teams and companies. We help companies manage this information in one place so they can ensure products and packaging are made right, every time. Having this data also enables them to easily report on sustainability and make more sustainable products.
