Robin Hood Tax

Video from Robin Hood tax site, an idea/ campaign to introduce a tax on inter banking transactions that then funds good causes globally. Great Idea and one to support. I do wonder how likely it would be to happen what with Global governments having such vested interests within the banking sector, and the nature of global finance meaning all banks worldwide would nee to reach agreement, which when they will be "losing" money they may not be so keen to do!!! Another good example though of people power and communication media creating movements for social change.

Audi Design Sustain Our Nation Finalist

Haven't blogged on here for ages, and its probably because of the amount of projects being worked on at the moment.

One exciting thing was I got to the finals of Audi Design Foundation competition "Sustain our Nation" for my Project PiggyBank. It is a financial visualisation service aiming to make peoples personal finances more understandable and tangible, and also trying to link local business to local consumers.

The aim of the competition is sustainability and social enterprise.
It was really exciting to go and present to the judges and a really enjoyable day/ project to work on.
