INSPO OF THE WEEK 🔊 and member of the Thred 100, Johannah Maher’s journey to tech CEO and founder of the exciting new social change app Impactr has been a fascinating one. It’s not every day someone switches from a wind turbine engineer to entrepreneur. @johannahmaher

Last week Johannah was recognised as a finalist in the Nordic Women in Tech Awards, and @impactr.world , the company she created, launches its app this month, so we thought, what better from to feature Johannah and her awesome story?

Johannah left her male-dominated career in wind energy after being fired for speaking out about the lack of environmental goals in the sector. It was then that she realised, after attending a few Women in Tech conferences, that professional women are perhaps the biggest asset to the sustainability mission as we’re used to shouting from behind muzzle, and overcoming adversity.

Inspired by the other incredible women she met in tech, she decided ‘if I can’t find a company I want to work for, I’m going to make the company’. Said company, impactr, is now making some very exciting wave in the impact-tech industry.

Impactr is one of our partner brands, and we’ve written extensively on it before. Suffice to say, the app being launched this month is a social media like no other – think TikTok but make it social change.

One of the few social media companies using technology for good, Impactr aims to combat what Johannah calls ‘apocalypse fatigue’ by framing activism in fun, community-led, bite-sized chunks that are as memeable as they are meaningful.

Look out for the launch of Impactr this month, and Johannah, thank you for being such a positive influence in all our lives!

Architecture firm @rescubika_creations new project ‘Mandragore’ is not only thinking big in terms of height, but also sustainability.

The residential tower envisioned on Roosevelt Island in NYC is designed to be carbon negative, which means it eats up more carbon that it produces. So, how does it do this?

The soaring skyscraper would make use of modern heating/cooling methods, be made from natural materials, and have a heck of a lot of plants! Like 1,600 trees and almost 300,000 square feet of living plant walls stretching up it’s 160 levels.

What would you give for a night in the penthouse?

Here’s something kinda new, INSPOS OF THE WEEK 🔊 (that’s right, plural) and members of the Thred 100: Melati and Isabel Wisjen @melatiwijsen @isabel.wijsen @byebyeplasticbags

Growing up in Bali, the two sisters were dismayed by the mounds of plastic that continued to clutter the once pristine beaches around their home. But at the age of just 12 and 10, they weren’t willing to take an apathetic attitude towards the situation. Instead, they founded a clean-up operation called Bye Plastic Bags which inspired local communities and imbued a thirst for change that continues to thrive throughout the whole province.

Taking a practical and political approach to tackling the issue, the pair organised countless community clean-up days – in one case collecting 65 tons of plastic waste – and crucially, took their plight to the height of government to push for strict policies against plastic pollution in Bali. To grab the attention of policymakers, the sisters amassed thousands of signatures and even staged a hunger strike from dusk till dawn in 2016. The widespread media coverage of which proved enough to sway the then-governor of Bali to sanction a ban of stryrofoam, plastic bags, and straws on the island.

Job done right? Turns out they were just getting started. Next on the agenda is taking their mission to ban single-use plastics worldwide. Last year, Melati co-chaired the final session of the World Economic Forum’s Sustainable Development Impact in New York and both spoke at the United Nations World Ocean Day to push for stricter government reform beyond Bali. Today, both Gen Z champions are heading up a separate charity called Youthtopia aimed at rousing other young change-makers to follow their example and shape the world they want to live in.

Plastic waste has become something of a crisis in recent years and the typical rhetoric when talking waste management systems is inherently negative. But while the numbers emerging from annual reports appear insurmountable, it’s truly refreshing to know that activists like Melati and Isabel are refusing to give in.

Young voices are becoming the loudest, let’s hope the world is listening!
