      Water purification systems! They keep us safe and give us the basic right of clean water.

      Vaccines 100%, they’re so important for keeping people safe.

      There’s so many! In recent times computers and the internet have obviously made a massive impact and things like clean water, sewage systems and electricity have improved people’s lives massively as well!

      really good question – and very tricky to answer! I hope in a couple of decade’s time the answer to this will be ‘the bacteria that ate all the plastic in the ocean’ or ‘clean green fuel from bacteria which runs all of our cars and planes’. Right now, I’d go for anything which helps people be happy and healthy – but sewage treatment is my favourite (yey! bacteria again)
