Benjamin Hubert designs wearable that tracks carbon usage

Benjamin Hubert has partnered with environmental consultancy the Carbon Trust to launch a concept wearable that could track individual carbon footprints

Make Tech Matter Monday | Benjamin Hubert makes wearable and mobile technology matter

For the very first time in the history of our weekly #MakeTechMatterMonday instalment, we decided to give the nod to an ambitious idea and project, as opposed to a product currently on the market. We decided it was a relevant choice considering the 2015 Paris Climate Conference taking place this week.

Worldbeing is a wearable prototype that monitors your carbon footprint in real time as you go about your daily activities.

"One of the issues is that climate change or carbon footprints are very intangible concepts," founder Benjamin Hubert told FastCompany. “They happen over long periods of time, or you don't visually see them.”

In partnership with Carbon Trust, Layer Design hopes to change the world’s behavior by bringing a global issue closer to home. There are huge opportunities for startups looking to make a difference in climate change and Worldbeing’s approach is refreshing and full of potential.

*applause* Well done! I still haven’t been able to get past 12112 - care to share your secrets?

I am a wizard.

Pick a direction and keep sorting tiles in that direction where possible. For example, never move tiles down unless it's your only option*. Move things back and forth and advance them up where possible. You should fairly quickly have something like [4][128][64][16] on your top row and just keep going from there, with "bigger" tiles filtering vaguely upwards. There's still a few other tricks that I picked up after starting this, and it's far from perfect, but I've never been able to get more than [512] without it.

*or if you've already got 2048 worth of tiles on the board, and can see a way to shift them around to pair them all together.

For some reason (idk, let's say it's an early birthday present to myself or something), I've changed my username!

So everybody, say hello to well-red-quaker.tumblr.com and farewell to worldbeing.tumblr.com

Either is fine, and even if they turn out to be suboptimal, just change it. Multiple changes of working title are entirely allowed :-P. Also, if it would potentially be a series, one should probably be the series title and the other the first book.

'Abnormals' works, although I think 'Abnormality' would work better as a book title.

I guess I'll go with Abnormals for now; I'd fear Abnormality would sound like a thesis and I don't plan on filibustering quite that much I think I see where you're coming from, but 'Abnormality' isn't as much of a key word in the story. I'm not expecting it to turn into a series, though if it were it would almost certainly not include A.D.A.M. so I guess that sorts that out.

Idk, this idea just seems much more ‘violating-personal-autonomy’ than ‘anonymous-benefactors’ to me (especially the one keeping remnants)

See, I had this consideration

and actually it's part of why I want to write it, although it wasn't part of our conversation

Because I sat an exam yesterday on a course that included the philosophy and ethics of beneficience, and I would actually like to bring into it the question of when (if ever) it's acceptable to violate personal autonomy to bring about greater wellbeing.

...okay so that would probably be the novel version of that story but shh

I'm like 90% certain the show that you didn't recognise, with the women of colour, is The Fosters. The reason I'm only 90% certain is that I've only watched one episode (but that episode was really good)

it'd seem that's the case! thanks

(and two endorsements plus a kickin' gifset is mos def enough for me to check this out when i have more time on my hands)

I'm disappointed because my gender means that I can't join in on the efforts to reclaim the fedora for feminism - I'd just look like a common-or-garden misogynist. This is clearly misandry.

I like this ask. When the feminazi utopia comes, you shall be spared the lash.
