Finland has been rated the happiest in the world for three consecutive years, so perhaps it's no surprise that Finland's prisoners are some of the happiest as well.



A major social innovation in the country is their “open prison” system where inmates are allowed to attend work and school, take online tech courses and learn the basics of AI and other technologies.



This is one of the many ways Finland is helping inmates remain connected to life on the outside as well as restart their lives after imprisonment.

Did you know in 2014, the world threw away an estimated 44.4 million metric tons of unwanted “e-waste”?



E-waste is made of battery-powered or plug-tethered devices such as laptops, smartphones and televisions. If not controlled, this could grow to 75 million metric tons by 2030.



We could collectively reduce this by re-using and recalling the valuable recoverable metals, such as iron, copper and gold by giving away our waste to the correct recycling centres!
