Top Tech Voices Podcast S2 E2: Sustainable Tech & Innovations for a Greener Planet

JoRatcliffe

Episode Two of Top Tech Voices is here and this episode sees podcast host Georgia Lewis Anderson being joined by Irish inventor Fionn Ferreira.

Fionn has established himself as a leading inventor in environmental science after created a magnet-based method for extracting microplastics from water, and winning the Global Grand Prize at the Google Science Fair in 2019 at just 18 years old.

Settle in for a discussion covering:

  • How Fionn’s parents got him creating and experimenting at an early age
  • How he succeeds by adding an element of childlike playfulness and creativity into the way he works
  • The importance of finding people around you who can do the things you can’t
  • How to stay upbeat in the face of negative news on the climate and environment

  • It's not exactly philanthropic, but combining activism, science and others you would say yes.
    It's a difficult subject, that's why I express my opinions for something more tangible.
    Plastic is widely used, probably the best cost-production option, but a real problem is both in the way it is used and in the person. Here's an example that can tell you something. For about 2-3 years I've been observing how at 6 AM people search through dumpsters for the "more visible microplastic" (surely no one knows what light spectroscopy is, I mean people of all categories), namely the bottles for which a small tax was introduced, but look how the financial situation changes the attitude of disinterest (still a general cause for pollution). Where people cannot voluntarily respect environmental protection, there are two solutions: either a fine or a reward (we pay to live sustainably...too early). Of course, that doesn't stop the proliferation of bubble bottles, seemingly forever floating, but look at how this man tells us about a helpful technology but faces a lack of money.
    Billions of people can make a difference more than billions of dollars, what do you say?
