Every third fish, which has been on sale, is not the one that seems. These are the conclusions of the Oceana organization, which deals with the preservation of the marine environment. As part of the study, control purchases of more than a thousand fish were made, and almost 30% of the copies did not correspond to the name that was indicated. The greenhouse previously wrote about the Fishazam project - a device that uses infrared spectroscopy to determine the type of fish.

On October 8 (Saturday) 2016, the greenhouse of social technologies will hold the Croudfanding for NPOs. At the meeting, we will talk about the practices of using crowdfunding as an alternative way to finance social projects. News, updates and a link to online broadcast will be available at the conference on Facebook conference .
