Summary 內容: In the UK, Foodcycle collects surplus food and volunteers cook it at a community kitchen for the needy. In USA, business-school collaborations have enabled curriculum reform in high schools to increase students' employability. And local governments work with coders and entrepreneurs to come up with social initiatives powered by IT that could bring more sustainability and social justice to the community.
