ABOUT THIS EPISODE

#11 Moved by Tech For Good | Edward Hibbert

“You can ruthlessly optimise to produce social good.”

The next of my 289 featured people is Edward Hibbert.

Founder and CTO of Freegle, one of the UK’s largest platforms for getting and giving things away for free, and an important voice in the Tech for Good movement.

Gary Watts speaks with Edward not just about reuse, but about how systems shape behaviour, why the bin is the competitor, and what happens when you apply tech thinking to human generosity.

We explore how tech for good needs the same rigour as commercial tech, how design choices can increase altruism, the value in reuse (not just money), and how volunteering increases the amount of kindness in the world.

Edward Hibbert | Guest #11 of 289, moved by Tech for Good
