🧠 If it think right way reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled, or composted, then it should be restricted, designed or removed from production

Innovation applied to day-to-day problems is what innovation is about 😎. This is an easy method to transform your package boxes into reusable protection material. I love the idea of auto recycling, in that way, the waste doesn't need to travel back and forth. Technology can be super useful when you know the real pain of businesses and operations. If you are a business person, the more you know about tech the more innovation you can bring.

The powerful duo: Frugal Innovation and Artificial Intelligence in daily living Now, imagine that there is a way you can have your cake and eat it too. All of this while saving money and conserving resources. Instead of it being too good to be true, this is an example of what frugal innovation can offer. It is a simple application of frugal innovation in your daily life. A core aspect of frugal innovation is looking at the price point of, well, everything. It looks at systems, products, and decisions that give you the best value for your buck. Especially now in tough economic times, it is about doing more with less. For example, say in the warm months, you try to keep cool without racking up the electricity bill. Frugal innovation would be to use what resources you have at your disposal to create the outcome you desire with no additional costs. In this instance, some will utilize plastic waste (containers) and wall space to grow plants that can keep the house cool. Or cultivate rainwater in a process that is healthy for daily consumption and personal care. That’s frugal innovation. Creative isn’t it? So how then can the transformative phenomenon that is Artificial intelligence significantly reduce the use of our limited resources? Well, for one thing, technology solution providers, and businesses, now can collect large amounts of data, assess individual needs and behaviors, and create more accurate solutions that are accessible and sustainable. Another important use of AI as a frugal innovator is cutting down on time, and the resources it takes to deliver the right solutions for the people and community you serve. Frugal innovation seeks simplicity and modesty in the way we live. Not only is it ideal for dealing with societal and environmental concerns, but it is also an urgent answer to slowing down our collective spending. With necessity as the key driver of frugal innovation, armed with AI, we stand to benefit more from well-thought-out solutions that will answer our ever-changing needs.

Our excitement grows as we see the advancements in AI, particularly in its potential to boost sustainability and protect the environment. While it’s inspiring to witness AI’s positive impact and possibilities, it’s important to stay mindful of the accompanying moral and ethical considerations. Key challenges we find include minimising AI’s energy consumption to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental health. In sectors such as agriculture and resource management and assisting our approach to many environmental challenges, AI offers a fantastic opportunity to use technology responsibly, helping to prevent issues like overfishing and deforestation. The results are clear, and they show that AI can be a powerful way forward in our journey for a more sustainable future. That’s why we will be supporting ventures that leverage AI for environmental sustainability. If you’re interested in getting involved as a venture or partner, please add your name to the waitlist. https://lnkd.in/gEYyEe7D #ai #sustainability #environment

The rapid advancement of AI technology is reshaping industries, offering both opportunities and challenges. AI holds the potential to enhance sustainability in energy, agriculture, and healthcare, but concerns about energy consumption and misinformation loom large. Addressing the impact on jobs and livelihoods is crucial. Balancing these challenges is essential for a positive and sustainable future. #ArtificialIntelligence #Sustainability #TechInnovation #AIImpact #ClimateChange #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfWork #AIChallenges #TechTrends #Innovation #AIandSociety #GreenTech

Sustainability in AI can feel like a nebulous challenge without an anchor point. Part of that challenge is that sustainability is such a large field, it is hard to identify exactly where the disruption can have the most impact. Do you use AI for more efficient and environmentally responsible product packaging? Is it best used for R&D to discover new methods of carbon sequestration? One area of application is using AI to play matchmaker between companies with sustainability goals and companies that can support them. Koru is similar to LiquiDonate in that their matchmaking software connects companies to different organizations that can help them increase their sustainability impact. Ricky Marton, the founder of Koru, is redefining how companies approach sustainability by leveraging AI as a powerful tool to drive business change and positive impact. Koru's mission aligns perfectly with my belief that technology can be a catalyst for good when used responsibly. What makes Koru unique: AI-Driven Sustainability: Koru leverages advanced AI to analyze a company's industry, geographic location, and employee interests. This data-driven approach identifies impactful areas for support, making sustainability initiatives more effective and targeted. Strategic Partnerships: Koru acts as a matchmaker, connecting companies with innovative startups and organizations. For instance, they helped JBT Corporation partner with a hyper-efficient cooling technology startup, enhancing both sustainability and business strategy. Quantifiable Impact: To combat the prevalent issue of greenwashing, Koru ensures that the impact of sustainability initiatives is measurable. Their "move the needle" metric ties specific goals to actionable steps, holding companies accountable and ensuring genuine progress. In my work with LiquiDonate, I see first hand the greenwashing with companies donating their quarterly contributions to causes and promoting themselves as sustainable. It is so important for companies like Koru and LiquiDonate to help illustrate how AI can help us rethink how companies achieve their sustainability goals while keeping the work authentic and transparent. Discovering new use cases for AI to make the world a better place and sharing these innovations is crucial. Supporting companies like Koru that leverage AI for sustainability helps spread knowledge and drive impactful change. It's exciting to see how AI can be harnessed to create a win-win-win scenario—for businesses, consumers, and the environment.
