Food, Sustainability & Your Power To Change The World / Tessa Clarke","description":"In this episode, the first of the new year, I had the pleasure of speaking with Tessa Clarke - CEO and co-founder of Olio, a food-sharing app between neighbours designed to help eliminate food waste. \n\nWhat started out as a local initiative in North London back in 2015 has since grown into a phenomenally popular app, serving over 2.5 million users in 4 years. To date, Olio has shared 9 million portions of food, saved 1.3 billion litres of water and 8168 tonnes of carbon that would otherwise have been emitted.\n\nA champion of businesses that combine profit with purpose, Tessa and her co-founder, Saasha Celestial-One, are vocal advocates of sustainability, the circular economy and zero waste, and Olio\u2019s impact has been widely recognised, most notably by the United Nations who highlighted Olio as a \"beacon\u201d for the world, and by Vivatech who awarded them the \"Next European Unicorn\". \n\nIf you\u2019re looking for ways to make a difference and work towards a more equitable, sustainable and just society, this action-packed conversation is for you.\n\nJoin in the conversation #hivepodcast, and find out more at www.nathalienahai.com/the-hive-podcast/\nRecorded on 16th December 2020.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/0fb3743f-bf3f-4d41-ae2e-d9247ddd98a5/artworks-vq2ahnhcyhbfeitp-ws2ifa-t3000x3000.jpg"}
