AYR is the world's first virtual digital platform that provides users with credits for carbon emissions saved. Created  by the Center for Engineering and Product Development (CEiiA), the AYR app works to reward users with “eco-tokens” for every kilometer traveled using sustainable forms of transportation, such as public transportation, biking, or walking. The goal of AYR is to accelerate individuals, businesses, and local communities' transition to carbon neutrality. AYR is currently operating in the Municipality of Matosinhos, in the Metropolitan Area of Porto, Portugal where CEiiA is based. The municipality hopes to be part of the European Union's Horizon Europe Program's mission to create 100 carbon-neutral cities by 2030, and Matoshino is using AYR to help achieve this goal. The app quantifies carbon emissions in real-time and utilizes blockchain technology to reward users in “tokens [that] circulate in the city ecosystem as a ‘local sustainability coin'”. Users of AYR receive crypto-tokens in their digital wallet that can be exchanged for green goods, mobility, and municipal services in the local economy. The crypto-tokens can also be used to offset carbon emissions in a local voluntary carbon market. One example of AYR's success is in “six months, a group of bike and scooter sharing services in the city of Matosinhos, Portugal, helped avoid 18.1t CO2 and generated 181,000 digital credits that users could spend on other city services.” AYR extends beyond individual users to local businesses, which can receive crypto-tokens and other financial benefits that can be used to fund green projects. The data collected with AYR is also used in the local decision and policy-making process. Many carbon mitigation programs charge a tax or fee for carbon emissions emitted, but AYR instead rewards and pays users for carbon emissions avoided. AYR was designed to help remove cars from the road and take back public spaces to transform and enhance neighborhoods to be more environmentally friendly. CEiiA is also currently testing the platform in Itajaí, Brazil, and hopes to expand to ten more cities in Northern Portugal, Brazil, Europe, and Latin America in the next two years. AYR received the New European Beaches (NEB) Prize for Products and Lifestyles in September 2021 and the platform is backed by Google Impact Challenge on Climate. Paulo HumanesPaulo Humanes is the Director of Mobility, Automotive, and Cities at CEiiA where he works as an engineer to innovate the mobility sector. Humanes received a Master's in Transport Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne and now works as a visiting professor there. Humanes also received the title of fellow from the Chartered Institute of Highways and Transportation and served as the chairman of the institute in 2009. In his role at CEiiA, Humanes works with institutional partners such as the World Resource Institute, World Bank, and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, to build zero-emission mobility solutions. Humanes also works with local cities and government partnerships, through projects such as AYR, to build capacity for new transportation and mobility climate solutions. Sources:https://www.themayor.eu/en/a/view/catarina-selada-on-the-first-ever-platform-that-assigns-credits-for-saved-carbon-emissions-10339https://new-european-bauhaus-festival.eu/fair/72wsc7zCKmGVMpoQsLy20Jhttps://www.ceiia.com/about-ushttps://www.ceiia.com/ayrhttps://2022.itf-oecd.org/speaker/paulo-humaneshttps://impactchallenge.withgoogle.com/climate2020/charities/ceiiahttps://research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu/funding/funding-opportunities/funding-programmes-and-open-calls/horizon-europe/eu-missions-horizon-europe/climate-neutral-and-smart-cities_en#:~:text=EU%20missions%20are%20commitments%20to,ensuring%20soil%20health%20and%20food.

Joshua Ross, the co-founder of Humanitix, is this episode's guest.  Humanitix is an online event ticketing business that Josh and his childhood friend founded when they realized that there was an opportunity to disrupt the ticketing business. But their real innovation was their decision to donate 100% of the company's profits to effective charities, primarily those focused on child education in underdeveloped areas.  During the podcast, Josh and Brooke discuss Humanitix winning the Google Impact Challenge (for which it received $1 million), the trials and tribulations of being a startup company (particularly when the pandemic struck), how they decided to become philanthropists, and how they see Humanitix making an even bigger impact on the charitable world in the future.  (0:20).   Website:  https://www.humanitix.com/us

For the first episode of Brillantes, I am welcoming Charlotte von Stotzingen. Why? Well, first of all, because Charlotte is one of those personalities that naturally shine… These passionate and fascinating women, whose charisma is beyond dispute. But also because Charlotte von Stotzingen is an entrepreneur at heart. In just a few years, the young woman has managed to create a tailor-made career for herself, at the crossroads between the two worlds that drive her: art and humanitarian aid, between Paris, Zurich and Kenya. After studying business and art history, and a few years of experience in the field, Charlotte decides, with her husband, to drop her comfortable job and start a crazy humanitarian project in Kenya. The goal? To train young people in the remote region of Turkana in ICT, to enable them to work as freelancers. Back in Europe, she launched Thanks for Nothing, a philanthropic association whose aim is to mobilise the world of culture to promote solidarity. Finally, in Zurich, Charlotte has been heading for the past three years the Zurich Art Weekend, which highlights the artistic scene of the Swiss economic capital, just before Art Basel.Together, we talk about the impact that the Covid crisis has had on her activities and her daily life. Charlotte looks back with honesty at each of her projects, from their origin to their financing. We talk about the power of art and the impact it can have on society. Charlotte tells me about the art scene in Zurich, we discuss the role of galleries and the need for democratization.

Everybody hates paying booking fees when buying tickets, and for Adam McCurdie that was an opportunity. He recognised the ticketing industry’s profits were ripe for a little 'impact disruption'. The result was Humanitix. It’s a charity, that looks a lot like a business. And it’s both, and that’s what we like here at the Good Future podcast. My name is John Treadgold, and I’m asking the big questions about the future of sustainable business, the new-economy and how your spending and investment decisions, no matter how big or small, can have an Impact. Adam McCurdie has had a wild ride as he’s bootstrapped Humanitix into the thriving social enterprise that it is today. They’ve won million-dollar awards from Google, and they’ve wooed big donors like the Atlassian Foundation. But as you listen to Adam, and hear him explain the concept and their journey, it’ll all become clear why. These guys are very good operators, they have lofty social impact goals, and while they’re using the power of technology, the real innovation is in their business model. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did. I pressed Adam for some more details about the 90 second pitch they crafted to win themselves the Google Impact Challenge and he offered some tips after the credits. Please leave a review or comment on iTunes so we know you're out there. Don’t forget to check out the show notes on my website, at www.Johntreadgold.com And you can shoot me an email with any feedback or leave me a comment on the Good Future Instagram page @goodfuturepodcast Enjoy!

What does homelessness mean in our increasingly connected, so-called digital age? We’re on a journey to find out.Recent research shows that 91% of the homeless  have a working mobile phone and 46% have a smartphone.How aware are we about how the homeless use technology in their everyday lives?  How could it make things easier? How might it enhance our understanding of different forms of homelessness and challenge misconceptions? And how is it changing the way homeless charities and organisations work?In the second of our podcast series, we talk to Gaia Marcus, from Centrepoint and Gerard Lemos, partner in social research firm Lemos & Crane about how we can use tech to understand and tackle homelessness more powerfully.Gaia is overall Project Manager for the Google Impact Challenge-funded Youth Homelessness Databank - the UK's first open data resource which aims to end youth homelessness through gathering data and lived experience.Gerard leads the research team at Lemos&Crane and is the author of several books and reports about social policy and supporting vulnerable people including the recent report Trends and Friends: access, use and benefits of digital technology for homeless and ex-homeless people
