Striiv
http://www.striiv.comStriiv is the the first smart pedometer. With every step, Striiv learns your behavior and motivates you to walk a lot more. Striiv creates personal challenges based on your level of activity, so you reach your fitness goals as you move throughout the day. It's fitness, for the rest of us. Striiv's activity motivation system was designed by leading experts in game design and behavior change with one goal in mind: to get you to walk a lot more. Earn a charity donation, race your friend across the Golden Gate Bridge, or burn off the equivalent of an ice-cream sundae. The more you play with Striiv, the more you will move.
Hope Phones
http://hopephones.orgWe created the Hope Phones campaign in 2009 as an innovative way to fund the global efforts of Medic Mobile, our parent organization that advances healthcare in 11 countries with mobile technology. Half a million cell phones are discarded in the United States every day and pollute the environment with tons of plastic and persistent toxins like lead, nickel, beryllium, and cadmium. Cell phone recycling through Hope Phones reduces hazardous waste in our communities responsibly, while providing a real public health benefit abroad.
If Hope Phones can recycle just 1% of disposed phones each year, we can outfit 1 million health workers, improving the lives of 50 million people.
