mostra di piùGiki uses badges to explain the environmental qualities of products. "Organic," Free from Additives," and "Low Carbon Footprint" are examples of quick cues provided to the Giki user as they shop. A product with more badges is better.

Jo Hand shares how her own shopping is guided by the need to reduce unsustainable palm oil consumption -- palm oil is used in thousands of products, often without clear attribution on the labelling. She also focuses on UK-made products and enjoys finding "Hero Products" that are the most sustainable and healthiest available. Her team at Giki, which she cofounded with her husband, has profiled thousands of products to identify their environmental impact.

Giki aims to expand to North America, but this is an app that we think can inspire a better world today.
