At present, many precious green spaces are being cleared for livestock and crops, however 30-50% of food produced worldwide will never be consumed. Our app aims to minimise food wastage in households. Users will plug in food they have at home which may otherwise go off, they will then be presented with recipes which include these food items thus saving them from the landfill. Society is increasingly becoming time-poor, an app with a variety of easy to follow recipes has never been more enticing for the consumer. We hope to bring environmentally conscious cooking into households around the world.

We noticed that the number of obese children has increased due to lack of exercise and healthy eating. We also noticed that car emissions are damaging the environment. Bi-schooling will make children more confident when riding a bike on the road as they can do it in a group as well as learn the road rules. This will help to reduce the affect that car emissions have on the environment as well as keeping kids healthy. They can find children who are biking to the same destination and join their group to bike together and find a safe route.

Our app helps fish not get endangered because fishermen will not take more than they are allowed and will stick to the legal size. It is difficult to know the rules. Each region has different ones and there are many kinds of fish. It’s not easy to look up a website when you are fishing and your hands are sticky and dirty. We created a Fishing Siri to let fisherman get information hands free. By calling out the name of the fish, it gives back information about the size limit and daily catch limit for that fish. There are different buttons for each region of New Zealand. There is a camera allowing a fisherman/woman to take a photo of the fish.
