A
B
Anything
for
a
little
change
like
really
goes
a
long
way
I
used
to
during
the
middle
of
coven.
When
I
was
going
crazy,
like
everybody
else
I
bought
I'm
so
bad.
I
bought
a
unicorn
mask
so
when
sometimes
when
people
were
like
signed
into
the
zoom
like
they
just
open
it
up-
and
I
was
sitting
there
with
unicorn
mask.
B
Out
of
them
is
hilarious,
but
yeah
good
times
keep
it
fresh.
B
A
Perfect
awesome
well
welcome
everyone
who
is
here
actually
in
the
zoo
meeting
and
tuning
in
live
on
youtube
and
and
people
who
are
watching
this
afterwards.
I
am
I'm
speaking
across
times.
That's
really
exciting
yeah,
so
we
maybe
we'll
hire
a
dj
like
caitlyn's
suggesting
in
chat
next
time.
We
do
one
of
these
meetings
or,
if
they're
playing
some
music,
to
welcome
people
in
or
get
some
unicorn
masks
or
other
things,
but
welcome
everyone
to
the
september
2022
falcoin
green
meetup.
A
We
we're
gonna
we're
gonna
talk
about
a
whole
lot
of
of
really
neat
things
that
are
going
on.
Some
of
that's
gonna
have
to
do
with
updates
for
falcon
green
itself,
but
first
we're
gonna,
hear
from
aaron
and
chalia
about
refi,
for
community
prosperity
in
kenya
and
so
yeah.
If
you,
if
you
wanna,
take
it
away,
go
for
it.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
for
having
us
and
nice
to
meet
all
of
you
around
the
world.
My
name
is
erin
grover
and
I'm
a
program
director
for
regen
foundation.
B
I've
been
in
crypto
and
blockchain
for
five
six
years
now
started
out
in
crypto
assets
and
crypto
funds,
and
I
got
bored
with
just
helping
people
to
make
money
and
and
got
interested
in
supply
chain
on
blockchain,
and
then
that
brought
me
to
farmers
on
blockchain
in
india
in
particular,
and
then
to
do
research
in
kenya
where
I
met
my
colleague
here.
B
Shyla
who's
born
in
kenya
knows
her
country
very
well
so
yeah
now
blockchain
is
mostly
impact
for
me
and
with
regen
working
on
rights
of
nature,
eco-credits
using
dows
to
empower
communities
in
the
global
south,
especially
looking
at
things
like,
like
carbon
credits
and
and
using
blockchain,
to
verify
that
they're
real,
while
em
empowering
agricultural
communities
through
refi.
B
You
know,
that's
that's
the
nutshell,
but
there's
there's
so
much
more.
You
know,
regen
foundation
is
definitely
a
tribe
of
eco-feminists
and
a
very
diverse
group
of
people.
Our
executive
director,
rivati,
is
actually
in
india
she's
from
india
and
apologies.
She
couldn't
join
us
tonight,
but
you
know
I'm
I'm
sitting
here
in
dubai,
so
yeah
we're
definitely
spanning
the
globe,
but
what
I'm
really
really
really
excited
about-
and
this
is
why
we
started
to
speak
with
falcone
green-
is
how
to.
B
Digitally
activate
the
community
savings
groups
in
east
africa,
starting
in
kenya
through
blockchain,
empowering
local
leaders
through
dows
and
for
those
there
there
may
be
some
people
here
who
don't
know
about
this
concept
of
community
savings
groups
and
how
they're
they're
nothing
new
in
in
east
africa
and
shayla
will
talk
about
this
more,
but
they
are
analog.
B
It's
analog
staking
pools,
like
you
know
these
people
in
east
africa.
There
are
millions
of
these
community
savings
groups
there
that
meet
on
a
weekly
basis
and
pretty
much
yeah
they've
been
doing
d5
before
the
term
defy
was
created.
B
So
I
I
am
very
passionate
about
seeing
these
groups
integrate
with
blockchain,
which
I
think
there's
a
very
strong
possibility
because
of
a
digital
currency
that
already
exists
in
a
way
in
africa,
just
starting
with
them
pesa,
for
example,
in
kenya,
the
whole
country
is
pretty
familiar
with
what
it
is
to
use
money
on
a
phone
because
of
m-pesa
pre-crypto
right.
B
So
what
I
would
like
to
see-
and
this
is
what
we've
been
talking
to
file
coin
green
about-
is
how
to
empower
these
agriculturally
based
communities
to
to
make
this
leap
into
the
technology,
but
to
do
it
with
empowering
local
leaders
that
actually
want
it,
and
I
have
somewhat
of
an
experience
working
in
ngos.
B
I
worked
with
the
un
usaid
mercy
corps
and
many
others
for
most
of
my
twenties,
and
you
know
it
was
always
a
question
for
me
like
well
we're
showing
up
with
all
these
resources,
but
do
they
really
want
it
and
like
what?
What
do
they
really
want?
Like
you
know,
it's
it's
a
whole
process
of
integration
like
we
can't
just
show
up
and
drop
technology
on
people
and
expect
them
to
use
it.
B
So
you
know
how
do
we
as
blockchain
leaders,
who
want
to
to
create
impact
environmentally
socially,
as
a
global
community
like
how?
How
can
we
be
better
at
this
right?
There's
an
opportunity
to
be
better
at
it,
and
I
think
blockchain
is
at
this
crossroads.
There
are
a
lot
of
companies
showing
up
in
africa,
for
example,
just
one
continent
and
and
just
kind
of
I'm
I've
watched
it
from
being
in
africa
for
a
little
bit
doing
some
research
and
just
sitting
here
in
dubai.
B
There
is
a
bunch
of
money
being
dumped
into
these
places
from
from
a
lot
of
crypto
companies
right
now-
and
I
don't
see
the
majority
of
these
companies
thinking
about
sustainable
integration
and
the
empowerment
of
local
leaders.
So
anyway,
I
I
think,
that's
enough
of
like
to
for
you
to
understand
where
the
foundation's
coming
from,
where
I'm
coming
from
and
where
shayla's
coming
from
and
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
shayla
right
now,
because
she
is
the
local
leader
in
kenya
and
she's,
one
of
kenya's
most
active
blockchain.
B
You
know
I
want
to
say
activist,
but
it's
more
than
that
I
mean
she's,
a
legit,
blockchain
consultant
community
organizer
understands
dao's
very
well,
and
you
know
kenya's
pretty
much
one
of
the
leading
countries
for
on-the-ground
adoption.
So
she
has
a
lot
to
share
with
us.
So
thank
you
for
listening
and
just
to
hand
over
her
to
to
talk
more
about
this.
This
concept
of
community
prosperity,
through
through
savings
groups.
C
Thanks
aaron,
what
an
intro
blockchain
activist
I
like
that,
so
I've
been
in
d5
for
quite
some
time
now.
I'd
say
for
the
last
decade
I
was
working
in
either
fintech
or
in
the
development
space
very
primarily
focused
in
the
agricultural
development
space
like
erin.
I
also
worked
with
the
un
and
the
big
ngos,
always
with
this
hope
of
you
know,
actually
empowering
individuals
and
getting
them
the
help
that
they
needed,
but
very
quickly.
I
realized
that
the
same
companies
I
was
working
for
were
the
problem.
C
But
the
one
constant
thing
I
kept
seeing
in
each
and
every
one
of
the
projects
was
like
this
lack
of
community
ownership
and
that's
why,
when
I
started
interviewing
with
regen
foundation,
I
really
saw
a
fit
because
regen
foundation
actually
cares
about
the
communities
and
making
sure
that
they're
in
the
design
process,
so
that
you
can
have
a
sustainable
project
because
it
doesn't
matter
how
good
your
technology
is.
It
doesn't
matter
how
amazing
the
solution
is.
C
If
it's
not
solving
a
problem
on
the
ground,
then
it's
useless,
which
is
what
has
happened
to
a
lot
of
communities
here.
There's
like
an
amazing
blockchain
web
3
technologies
that
are
coming
and
just
being
airdropped
to
on
people,
and
I
mean
it's
it's
all
in
good
pure
intentions.
Maybe
some
of
it
is
for
capitalistic
gains,
but
the
thing
is
the
reason
empeza
worked
so
well
in
kenya
is
because
it
was
solving
a
need.
We
needed
a
way
to
transact
without
banks,
because
people
were
bankless.
C
People
didn't
have
the
proper
identification
to
get
the
kyc
done.
So
how?
How
do
you
give
this
quick
credit
like
really
fast?
And
how
do
you
send
it
to
somebody
without
access
to
a
bank
and
that's
how
empaths
have
sprung
up
and
that's
why?
It's
so
successful?
I
think
it's
the
most
successful
company
in
kenya.
At
the
moment
it
was
like
3
trillion
profit
last
last
year.
So
it's
it's
it's
the
this
is
one
of
the
main
reasons
I'm
so
passionate
about.
C
C
They're
self-governed,
they're
they're,
coming
up
with
everything
on
their
own
each
each
each
trauma
has
its
own
sort
of
interest
rate
and
penalties
and
rules
and
regulations,
and
everyone
is
different
and
I'm
in
two
chambers
and
they're
completely
different
and
one
is
for,
like
my
ex
my
class
of
my
class,
the
high
school
graduation
class
and
the
other
is
just
a
bunch
of
friends
who
got
together
to
save
money
and
each
is
different.
So
it's
like,
it
depends
on
the
purpose,
and
sometimes
it
depends
on
the
people
who
are
in
it.
C
Some
people
are
are
in
it,
just
because
it's
like
a
cousin's
group
and
it's
a
family
group,
but
the
one
thing
is
for
sure
the
default
rate
is
ridiculously
low
and
it's
because
there's
trust
in
the
system.
C
People
don't
also
have
this
thing
where
they
don't
want
to
to
look
bad,
so
there's
a
societal
pressure,
but
it's
it's
a
thing
that
I
just
was
fascinated
by
and
for
the
last
I
think,
15
years,
if
not
more,
I've
just
been
really
really
like
interested
in
it,
and
I
was
having
a
conversation
with
alan
just
before
this,
where
I
explained
that
this
idea
of
mine
is
hasn't
just
sprung
up.
I
mean
it's
something.
I've
been
thinking
about
for
for
a
long
time,
because
I
just
feel
like
defy
is
the
future.
C
The
only
way
we're
going
to
empower
africa
is,
if
we
empower
it
by
the
africans,
so
we
can
provide
the
technology,
but
it
has
to
come
from
the
people
themselves.
They
have
to
be
part
of
the
design
process.
They
have
to
tell
you
what
what
the
problems
are
and
be
there
when
they're
engineering
and
building
the
architecture
for
this.
So
I'm
telling
you
I've
been
on
both
sides.
I've
been
on
the
side
of
the
technology
provider,
giving
the
solution
to
these
people
with
all
the
with
with
a
great
heart
and
being
like.
C
I
really
want
to
help
you
and
I've
also
been
on
the
other
side
receiving
the
technology,
and
it's
only
going
to
work
if
it's
from
the
bottom
up-
and
I
mean,
if
you
bring
it
back
to
climate
justice
as
well,
the
only
people
who
know
what
they
need
to
solve
are
the
people
there,
so
I
think
an
emphasis
and
actually
money
being
put
towards.
That
is
something
that
we
just
need
to
like
all
be
intentional
about,
because
everyone's
always
running
towards
you
know,
let's
get
a
developer
grant
going
and
let's
get
this
technology
done.
C
No,
let's
get
a
design,
let's
get
something
in
design.
First,
let's
do
some
research
and
well
it's
a
good
thing.
You
don't
really
have
to
do
the
research
like,
I
said,
because
I've
been
obsessed
with
these
traumas
for
the
last,
like
you
know
a
decade,
so
I've
done
the
research
I've.
I've
actually
done
research
for
other
international.
C
What
are
they
called
mfis
multi
national
financial
institutions
who
were
so
interested
in
this
market
because
a
lot
of
kenyans
are
unbanked
and
that's
because
I'm
a
loan
in
kenya
right
now,
if
I
wanted
to
get
a
house,
I'd
probably
end
up
paying
like
24
to
25
percent,
which
is
ridiculous.
I'd
rather
go
to
acharma
and
start
saving
and
then
be
able
to
own
my
house
that
way.
So
it's
just
a
solution
to
a
problem
that
was
already
existing
inaccessible
credit
and
expensive
credit
right.
So
what
was
my
point?
Yeah?
C
The
mfis
were
really
interested
in
this
market
because
there's
a
lot
of
money
circulating
there
and
they
want
to
tap
into
that
market
and
I'm
not
interested
in
in
working
for
a
bank
to
solve
this
problem
because
they
also
want
to
tap
into
these
charms
they're,
actually
creating
solutions
and
packages
that
are
catered
to
chamas
but
they're,
just
bringing
them
into
their
their
own
money-making,
capitalistic,
crazy
machine.
And
I'm
saying
no:
let's
not
do
that.
Let's
empower
them.
C
Let's
give
them
the
opportunity
to
save
their
data,
store
their
data
access,
their
data
be
able
to
use
that
as
their
kyc
and
even
like
crowdfund
from
the
entire
continent.
There's
people
like
me,
who
would
very
easily
put
my
money
to
stake
to
a
trauma
who,
I
know
is
working
in
regeneration.
You
know
so
get
some
kind
of
way
of
verifying
this.
You
know
people
want
to
want
to
have
a
claim.
I
mean
want
to
have
proof
that
their
their
whatever
they're
donating
or
whatever
they're
investing
in
is
actually
happening.
C
So
how
do
we
get
these
impact
claims?
How
do
we
get
it
so
that
we
have
verifiable
claims?
And
how
do
we
get
it
so
that
they
can
own
that?
Because
I'm
a
big
believer
in
sovereignty
as
well,
because
they
should
own
it,
not
some
middleman
who's,
owning
it
and
making
money
off
of
them,
but
they
should
own
it
so
that
they
could
sell
that
then
further
or
they
could
use
that
to
fundraise
further.
C
So
I've
talked
about
crowdsourcing
and
getting
the
africans
themselves
to
be
the
investors
as
well
so
having
some
sort
of
channel
and
also
talked
about
storage,
which
is
where
I
think
this
file
coin
comes
in
as
a
fantastic
partner.
How
do
we
get
this
transaction
data
on
chain?
How
do
we
get
it
so
that
it's
it's
transparent
and
it's
it's
it's
visible
and
it's
usable
and
it's
verifiable
everything
that
they're
doing
is
verifiable.
C
Is
it?
Is
it
an
nft
that
we
need
to
to
to
find
a
way
of
getting
an
impact
claim
with
nfts
so
that
we
can
see
the
trees
that
have
been
planted
or
the
land
that's
been
planted?
So
I
also
just
want
to
let
you
know
straight
up
like
I
have
done.
Yes,
I've
done
my
research
for
10
years,
but
this
is
an
idea
that
we're
still
you
know
developing
where
stone
technologies
come
and
fail.
There's
so
many
of
them
we're
not
the
first
people
to
think
about
digitizing,
the
the
chamas.
C
But
how
do
you
do
it
right?
You
do
it
by
going
to
them
finding
out
what
exactly
they
need
and
building
together
and
ideating
and
designing
it
with
them.
So
this
is
where
I
see
the
intersection
coming
together
and
the
fact
that
regent
foundation
is
really
really
excited
about
actually
making
sure
that
we're,
including
them
in
the
process,
we're
ensuring
that
there's
diversity
and
we're
ensuring
that
the
voice
of
nature,
because
that's
exactly
what
it
is.
C
The
voices
of
these
women
who
are
working
in
regeneration
is
the
voice
of
nature
because
they're
the
ones
on
the
ground
doing
the
work.
So
how
do
we
make
sure
that
we're
actually
empowering
that
and
making
sure
that
the
money
is
going
to
the
right
places
to
the
right
people
and
actually
working
towards
regeneration?
B
No,
I
mean,
I
think
I
think
we
covered
it.
I
don't
know
if
anybody
has
any
questions,
but
I
guess
this
would
be
the
time
I
don't
have
anything
to
add.
A
Yeah
no
awesome,
I
I
you
know
a
lot
of
the
the
points
that
you
both
hit
on
right.
I
think,
resonate
so
strongly
right,
huge
thumbs
up
for
eco
feminism
and
building
this
through
through
web3
tools,
one
of
my
my
favorite
books
that
I've
I've
talked
about
many
times
in
different
contexts.
A
It's
called
seeing
like
a
state
that
outlines
exactly
what
you
were
talking
about,
shayla,
where
someone
with
a
theoretical
solution
right
comes
in
and
they
don't
really
understand
the
facts
on
the
ground,
but
they
sort
of
pattern
match
based
on
what
they
think
is
going
on
on
the
ground
and
then
something
that
they've
seen
work
in
some
completely
different
context
and
they
swoop
in
and
say.
This
is
how
we're
doing
everything
and
they
they
rearrange
an
entire
social
system
and
ecological
system
frequently,
and
it
it
just
doesn't
it
doesn't
work.
So
you
know
absolutely.
A
I
think
that
the
sort
of
work
that
you're
talking
about
doing
really
centering
and
starting
with
research
and
working
with
people
on
the
ground
and
the
work
that
you've
already
been
doing
for
for
quite
a
while
in
order
to
understand
how
does
this
technological
solution
not
just
look
good
sort
of
from
from
a
10
000
foot
pattern
matchy
view,
but
actually
solve
real
problems
and
practice
for
people
on
the
ground.
I
think
is
really
really
crucial.
A
Could
for
a
few
people
who
tuned
in
sort
of
in
the
middle?
Could
you
just
define
really
quick?
What
is
achamma?
I
know
you
said
that
everyone
works
a
little
bit
differently,
but
at
its
core
sort
of
what
what
is
it
exactly.
C
Yeah
so
think
about
a
small
group
of
women
in
the
village
who
can't
get
a
loan
because
they
don't
have
any
kind
of
kyc
and
our
banks
don't
work
like
they.
Don't
just
give
you
instant
loans
like
they
do
in
other
places,
so
they
need
money
just
to
buy
goods
to
stock
their
shop.
So
what
do
they
do?
Because
they
don't
have
that
money
on
their
own?
They
get
together
and
it
could
be
like
a
group
of
let's
say:
10
women
and
each
of
the
10.
C
Women
could
have,
let's
say
a
thousand
shillings,
but
then
together
they
have
10
000,
so
they
meet
every
week
and
give
like
a
certain
contribution,
pool
the
money
together
and
then
they
have
different
instances.
So
there's
one
called
table
banking
where
each
and
every
person
gives
the
contribution
every
single
week
and
then
one
person
goes
home
with
the
entire
amount.
So
that's
like
the
most
basic
one
from
the
village
side,
but
then
like,
for
instance,
my
chama
me
and
my
friends
from
from
high
school
all
decided.
C
We
need
to
save
up
money
and
then,
in
10
years
we're
going
to
go
on
this
big
trip.
So
we've
been
doing
that
and
we've
just
all
been
saving
money,
but
then,
along
the
years
people
have
gotten,
I
don't
know
almost
bankrupted
or
or
have
had
issues
with
their
car
and
needed
to
fix
their
car.
So
they're
like
can
I
can
I
get
into
that
pool
and
then
we
all
meet
up
and
we
decide
sure.
C
But
maybe
you
should
only
get
it
at
like
20,
because
you've
not
been
contributing
as
much
so
each
each
chama
has
its
own
set
of
rules,
so
you
could
use
it
as
a
savings
mechanism.
Some
people
use
it
as
just
for
borrowing,
but
generally
it's
a
dao
and
you
all
get
a
stake
and
you
you
choose,
and
usually
it
has
rotating
leadership
so
that
you
don't
have
like
this
burnout
of
just
one
person
being
the
one
organizing.
C
A
That's
that's
really
neat
and
yeah.
Thank
you
for
sort
of
walking
through
that
right
and
like
how
that
structure
really
does
solve
a
need
for
people
and
sort
of
has
arises
right
in
in
ways
where
the
governance
process
right
is
a
little
bit
different
for
like
different
groups,
but
there's
this
like
core
concept
right,
where
you're
like
pooling
money
for
financial
stability
across
a
larger
group
of
people
and
like
negotiating
sort
of
how
how
these
individual
loans
are
going
to
work.
A
Was
there
a
particular
moment
when
you
like
came
across
like
dowse
and
refi
and
saw
wow
like
this?
Is
you
know
this
mirrors
like
what
we've
already
been
doing
like?
What
was
that
was
it?
Was
it
sort
of
a
slow
burn,
or
did
you
like?
Did
you
see
this
all
of
a
sudden
and
like
recognize
that
this
is
sort
of
a
web,
3
version
of
like
exactly
what
you've
already
been
doing
like?
What
was
that
kind
of
realization,
like.
C
Yeah,
it
was
actually
when
I,
when
I
got
into
grassroots
economics
foundation,
that
was
the
first
time
I
actually
heard
about
dows
and
was
told
about
it,
and
I
was
I
I
sat
down.
I
sat
down
and
I
was
like
okay,
so
you
choose
whatever
you
want.
You
have
a
stake.
You
I
mean
you
you
you
can
you
know
vote
you
have
all
this
and
I
was
like
okay
well,
this
is
a
trauma
but,
like
you
guys
just
aren't
putting
in
the
money.
C
C
These
folks
are
meeting
in
person
and
if
you
don't
meet
in
person,
you
can
still
send
your
contribution,
but
you
send
it
like
a
person
who
you
have
to
meet
with.
So
imagine
these
like
villagers
and
all
of
them
have
like
a
physical
book
that
they're
using
as
a
ledger.
So
what
happens
when
the
book
gets
lost
right
like
and
then
what
happens
like?
What
happens
if
the
person
who
has
the
book
gets
late
or
something
like
that,
then
you
all
have
to
like
wait.
C
So
I
find
I
found
that
the
dow
space
was
just
this,
like
really
cool
spin
on
it
and
as
soon
as
I
heard
about
that,
I
was
like.
Oh
my
god,
jamas
need
technology,
that's
the
way,
we're
gonna
like
go
up,
that's
how
we're
going
to
level
up
and
that's
how
we're
going
to
get
them
the
credit
they
need,
because
guess
what
anyone
in
ochama
I
will
never
hire
someone
in
kenya
who's
not
in
a
trauma,
because
it
already
shows
you
financial
literacy,
because
they
know
this
is
a
hack.
C
C
B
C
B
Yeah-
and
I
just
want
to
add
to
that
that
as
an
american,
we
were
not
taught
how
to
save
as
a
culture.
That's
been
our
problem
and
the
the
chamas
have
been
known
to
have
a
much
higher
payback
rate.
B
It's
been
very
successful
from
the
data
that
is
available
and
it's
my
hope
that
getting
these
traumas
onto
blockchain
is
gonna,
really
prove
that
in
a
blockchain
way
and
and
help
these
savings
groups
to
on
like
board
into
more
traditional
financial
products
or
to
become
legitimate
funds,
you
know
and
to
have
respect
from
the
traditional
world
of
finance,
even
though
it's
you
know
coming
from
another
place
from
a
decentralized
place.
I
think
there's
this
great
emergence
here.
That
can
actually
happen
so
anyway.
That's
that's
my
piece
so.
A
You
know
they
invest
money
and,
like
do
other
things
in
the
economy,
but
it's
like
not
not
built
to
be
this,
like
sort
of
more
sophisticated,
like
social
structure,
in
the
way
that
you're
describing-
and
I
think
michael-
is
also
saying
that
in
a
bunch
of
other
places,
including
in
korea,
people
people
have
similar
sorts
of
arrangements
right.
So
it's
neat
that
this
this
type
of
structure
has
like
happened
independently
in
many
different
places.
A
Yeah
did
michael,
do
you
have
a
did?
You
have
a
comment
or
or
a
question,
and
do
you
wanna?
Do
you
wanna
unmute
and
ask
it?
I'm
not
sure
if
you
can.
A
Yeah,
it's
totally
totally
fine.
If
not
I
had.
I
had
one
other
question
which
I
think
that
if
you
are
in,
if
you're,
very
much
sort
of
steeped
in
this
space,
the
connection
between
traumas
and
microfinance
and
environmentalism
is
pretty
clear.
But
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
sort
of
elaborate
on
it
and-
and
you
know,
especially
if
someone's
sort
of
coming
into
this
and
wondering
about
what
that
connection
is
right.
Could
you
talk
about
that?
A
little
bit.
C
Yeah
for
sure,
well
just
being
a
passion
of
mine
right,
because
you
could
have
a
trauma
with
your
friends
and
you're
just
using
the
money
to
buy
drugs
right.
So
why
are
we
trying
to
help
these
people?
Because
we
believe
that
they
need
it?
The
most
a
lot
of
the
traumas
that
I've
worked
with
in
the
past
that
are
in
regeneration
or
in
regenerative
agriculture
or
anything
in
the
region's
face
are
the
ones
that
are
suffering
the
most
because
they
give
the
most
without
anything
in
return
anytime,
soon
right.
C
So,
if
you're
working
in
agriculture
in
like
regular
agriculture,
it's
so
much
easier
to
use
pesticides
and
fertilizers
and
and
to
to
like
have
20
or
20
000
cows
in
one
acre,
it's
so
much
easier
to
do
stuff.
That's
non-regenerative
the
ones
who
are
doing
it
in
the
regenerative
space
are
using
more
money
they're
using
more
time,
and
it's
it's
like
10
20
years
before
they
can
get
any
payback
and
most
of
them,
because
they're,
not
10,
000
acre
holders
will
never
get
any
kind
of
contribution
from
anyone.
C
They'll
never
be
able
to
contribute
into
the
voluntary
carbon
market.
They'll.
Never
be
able
to
get
any
kind
of
reward
and
yet
they're
the
healers
of
the
planet,
which
is
why
I
feel
in
a
priority
matrix
that
they're
the
people
who
who
need
it
the
most
and
who
should
who
actually
deserve
to
get
it
the
most,
because
these
are
people
who
are
who
are
doing
things
that
maybe
they
won't
even
be
around
to
enjoy.
These
are
people
planting
trees
that
maybe
will
never
sit
in
that
shade.
A
All
right,
I
couldn't
mute
for
a
second
yeah.
Thank
you.
I
think
you
know.
I
think
I
think
that
connection
makes
a
lot
of
sense
right
that
like
if,
if
people
are
pooling
their
funds,
you
know
in
order
to,
like
you
said,
like
stock
a
store
and
like
get
new
inventory
for
their
corner
store
and
then
they're
gonna
be
able
to
to
pay.
A
Maybe
it's
cheaper
to
use
a
ton
of
fertilizer
and,
to
you
know,
over
over
farm,
your
your
area
or
have
you
know,
a
huge
density
of
livestock
in
some
area
and
it's
it's
much
more
sustainable
both
for
an
individual
farming
practice
over
the
long
term
and
for
the
planet
to
to
not,
you
know,
use
those
practices
but
to
use
use
practices
that
are
much
more
healthy
for
the
planet
like
that.
A
That
totally
makes
sense
that,
like
refi,
connecting
refi
to
the
the
type
of
banking
that
people
are
doing
in
chamas,
like
really
does
have
this
opportunity
to
unlock
sort
of
planet
healing
processes
across
a
bunch
of
different
countries.
So
I
think
that
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense
and
it's
really
exciting.
A
If,
if
people
want
to
want
to
support
this
type
of
work,
what
do
you
hope
people
would
do.
C
Oh
here
we
go
yeah,
so
yeah
like
aaron
was
mentioning.
We
have
like
a
consortium
of
stakeholders
or
people
who
can
join
the
region
network
and
kind
of
join
in
as
yeah
as
stakeholders
as
people
as
contributors,
but
I
think
even
as
partners,
I
feel
like
something
like
this
is
going
to
take
some
time,
probably
the
entire
quarter,
even
just
to
ideate
and
design.
C
So
I
would
love
to
have
any
any
kind
of
contribution
from
from
you
in
terms
of
people
who
want
to
give
their
time
to
even
just
have
conversations
like
this,
because
I
I
probably
if
it
was
someone
else
talking
and
asking
me
questions
that
I
haven't
thought
about
before
it's.
C
It's
just
expanding
my
brain
and
some
more
so
I
feel
as
though
some
more
interaction
would
be
great,
joining
as
a
consortium
and
joining
like
if
protocol
or
filecoin
were
to
join
our
consortium
and
actually
be
contributors
or
talk
and
and
during
our
meetings,
have
have
open
discussions
about
how
we
can
work
together.
C
The
beauty
of
the
web3
space
is
that
we
can
all
meet
and
non-competitively
work
together.
So
I
feel
that
would
be
a
great
way
as
well.
Definitely
the
green
grant
would
help
too.
A
A
Heath
he
says:
I'm
the
art
director
for
falcon
foundation
and
I'd
love
to
chat
and
offer
design
support
in
any
way.
I
can
that'd
be
great
awesome
all
right.
Well.
Well,
thank
you
so
much
it
was.
It
was
amazing
to
hear
about.
You
know
the
the
thoughts
that
you're,
having
and
sort
of
work,
that
you're
doing
and
putting
together
in
this
in
this
direction,
and
we're
really
excited
to
keep
on
working
together.
A
So
in
the
the
next
part
of
this,
I'm
going
to
give
some
updates
on
things
that
we're
working
on
in
falcon
green,
including
some
general
updates
on
a
few
of
our
different
projects
and
also
talking
about
how
we're
working
to
decarbonize
travel
to
the
sustainable
blockchain
summit
and
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
really
neat
work
that
we're
doing
there.
So
I
wanted
to
start
by
talking
about
refi
grants
which
have
been
open
for
a
few
months
and
we
are
continuing
to
to
take
refi
grant
proposals
through
the
end
of
september.
A
So
there's
a
couple
weeks
left.
We
are
going
to
be
continuing
to
give
grants
in
general
after
that,
but
this
this
real
sort
of
refi
focused
push
is,
is
through
the
end
of
september
and
so
to
be
really
clear
about
sort
of
how
you
actually
logistically
apply
for
grants.
You
can
go
to
green.filecoin.io
and
you
can
click
on
this
filecoin
open
grants,
link
here
and
then
so.
A
That'll,
take
you
to
this
refi
grants
page,
and
so
this
is
part
of
the
falcoin
developer
grants
program,
and
so
what
you
can
do
is
you
can
submit
a
grant
with
the
green
tag
and-
and
you
know,
answer
the
questions
in
the
the
issue
here
in
this
github
proposal
and
that
will
submit
a
a
grant
to
the
the
refi
grants
program
to
be
really
clear
about
sort
of
how
this
grant
program
works
and
and
what
we're
really
looking
to
support
is
the
the
you
know
we're
looking
at
how
do
we
support
projects
that
are
going
to
measure
environmental
impact
and
reduce
environmental
impact
that
have
something
to
do
with
falcoin
and
ipfs,
and
so
the
level
of
of
grant
support
really
tracks
with
the
amount
of
work
that
you've
done?
A
You
know
before
applying
to
the
grit
and
before
starting
this
work
in
order
to
in
order
to
to
you
know,
enact
that
idea
that
you
have
so
for
the
the
lower
amounts,
so
in
a
roughly
10k
range.
Those
are
grants
that
we're
giving
to
explore
an
idea.
So
you
don't
have
to
have
a
specific
architecture
for
something
that
you
are
planning
to
build.
What
you
really
have
to
do
is,
you
know,
have
a
really
compelling
idea
and
lay
out.
A
How
are
we
going
to
develop
this
idea
into
into
a
really
a
really
compelling,
really
interesting
project?
That's
going
to
you
know
eventually
measure
reduce
environmental
impact.
A
Then,
when
you
go
beyond
that
this
next,
this
next
sort
of
financial
level
around
50k,
that's
really
where
we're
looking
to
fund
proof
of
concept
projects
for
refi
projects.
So
that's
building
a
prototype
right.
That's
saying
I
have
this
idea
here:
here's
the
architecture
for
this
idea,
here's
what
I'm
going
to
build
and
that
that
you
know
funniness
to
build
it
and
then
100k
to
200k
is.
If
you
are
part
of
a
team,
that's
doing
something!
A
That's
that's
established
you,
you
know,
have
a
project
or
have
a
company
and
you
you
have
a
track
record
of
building
things
things
in
the
space
and
you
want
to
build
something
new
and
really
like
scale
up
the
work
that
you're
doing.
That's
that
higher.
You
know
100
couple
hundred
k
grant
range,
and
so
please
reach
out
to
us.
Please
talk
to
us
about
what
you're
aiming
to
do
and
we're
really
interested
in
helping
to
support
you
another
another
piece
of
this
is
when
you
are
opening
an
issue.
A
So
when
you
go
to
that
open
grant
application
and
you're
filling
out
the
different
pieces
of
this
grant.
If
you
are
looking
to
partner
with
us
pretty
directly,
you
may
want
a
technical
sponsor.
This
is
especially
important
if
you
are
applying
for
a
grant
in
that
higher
range,
so
you
know
50k
or
100k
200k.
A
We
would
like
to
be
pretty
involved
in
giving
you
feedback
about
what
you're
doing
and
please
talk
to
us.
First,
if
you
want
us
to
be
a
technical
sponsor,
please
don't
just
submit
a
grant
application
and
saying
I
want
this
person
to
technical
sponsor.
A
Please
reach
out
to
us
and
get
some
feedback
about
what
you're
doing,
because
you
know
we
we
really
want
to
make
sure
we
have
the
bandwidth
to
work
with
you
to
be
looped
into
what
you're,
what
you're
working
on
and
help
give
feedback
and
work
with
you
to
try
to
try
to
you
know,
help
give
support
to
build
something
really
really
awesome.
A
The
next
piece
of
this
that
I
wanted
to
give
an
update
on
is
the
sustainable
blockchain
summit.
That's
happening
a
month
from
now,
so
this
is
happening
at
devcon
in
bogota
colombia,
on
october
12th,
and
so
this
is.
This
is
going
to
be
an
amazing
event.
We
have
had
a
bunch
of
really
incredible
applications
to
speak
at
it.
Speaker
applications
just
closed,
but
you
can
absolutely
still
still
get
tickets
to
go.
Those
tickets
are
we're
not
charging
for
admission
to
the
conference.
A
It's
a
donation
model,
so
donate
what
you
can
and
proceeds
from
those
donations
are
going
to
go
to
the
kayapo,
who
are
an
indigenous
indigenous
group,
protecting
a
huge
area
of
land
in
southern
brazil,
from
deforestation,
so
they're
really
on
the
front
lines,
and
they
are,
you
know,
protecting
a
big
part
of
the
amazon
and
that's
what
proceeds
from
this
event
are
going
to.
So
we're
not
we're,
certainly
not
intending
to
make
money
off
this
event.
That's
where
that's
where
those
donations
are.
A
I
also
wanted
to
announce
here
that
we
have
a
keynote
speaker
here.
Who
you
may
know
about.
His
name
is
dr
delton
chen.
He
started
a
project
called
the
global
carbon
reward
and
if
you
have
heard
about
the
global
carbon
reward,
it
may
be
in
connection
with
this
book
called
the
ministry
for
the
future.
A
The
ministry
for
the
future
is
a
near-term
science
fiction
book
people
call
it
a
cl
five
book
like
a
like
a
climate
fiction
book
that
was
released
in
2020,
and
it
really
outlines
how
we
can
combat
climate
change
by
establishing
what
they
call
a
global
carbon
coin
or
what
what
the
the
carbon
reward
calls
just
a
climate
coin
or
a
co2
point
or
a
carbon
reward.
The
idea
here
is
to
build
new
financial
instruments
that
are
going
to
reward
the
sort
of
refi
projects
that
we've
really
been
talking
about.
A
So
can
you
find
new
ways
to
financially
incentivize
the
the
sorts
of
agriculture
and
the
sorts
of
practices
that
are
really
going
to
heal
the
planet
rather
than
to
degrade
the
planet?
And
so
we're
so
dublin
shen
is
going
to
be
there.
It's
going
to
be
a
great,
a
great
opportunity
to
talk
about
the
global
carbon
reward.
A
A
So
if
we're
going
to
build
this
project
that
the
ministry
for
the
future
outlines
right
in
which
we
have
this
global
effort
to
measure
environmental
impacts,
measure,
carbon
sequestration
and
use
this
to
fund
refi
on
a
massive
global
scale,
what
would
that
really
look
like?
And
what
would
that
project
be
like?
A
So,
please,
you
know
come
to
the
sustainable
blockchain
summit,
if
you're
planning
on
going
to
devcon
or
if
you're,
if
you're
in
latin
america
and
and
please
you
know
tune
in
during
or
afterwards,
I
believe
most
of
it's
going
to
be
live
streamed
if
you,
if
you
won't,
be
able
to
to
make
it
to
columbia.
A
The
next
thing
I
wanted
to
talk
about
is
this
project
called
co2
dot
storage.
So
if
you
go
to
the
file
coin,
green
tools,
repo,
which
is-
has
speed
up
here-
it's
been-
it's
been
public
for
a
while.
It's
in
the
the
protocol,
the
protocol
labs,
github
organization,
so
falcon
green
dash
tools,
you'll
find
there's
this.
This
co2
dot
storage
description,
and
so
this
this
talks
a
bit
about
about
what
we're
thinking
here.
A
So
the
problem
that
co2.storage
is
trying
to
solve
is
that
we
have
all
of
these
different
web
3
projects
that
are
tokenizing
carbon
in
all
sorts
of
different
ways,
and
we
need
web3
native
tools
for
understanding.
If
you
have
a
carbon
offset.
What
is
in
that
carbon
offset
right?
What
does
that
offset
really
correspond
to
and
that
those
those
tools
shouldn't
just
be
unchained?
Data
right
on
chain
data
is
very
expensive.
Those
tools
shouldn't
just
be
links
to
a
legacy
registry.
A
Many
of
these
many
many
you
know
web3
projects
are
taking
existing
carbon
offsets
and
existing
registries
and
putting
them
on
chain.
That's
great,
but
it's
not
just
you
know
linking
to
the
the
data
that's
already
available
in
that
registry.
A
Just
takes
these
these
sort
of
web
two
solutions
and
just
entrenches
them
further
we'd,
really
like
better
ways
to
deal
with
the
data
associated
with
carbon
offsets,
and
so
there's
this
question
below
you
know:
how
do
I
handle
structured
carbon,
offset
data
in
a
web,
3
native
way,
and
so
co2
dot
storage
is
a
is
a
project
that
we
on
the
falcon
green
team
are
building
to
do
that.
So
this
is
free
decentralized
storage
for
environmental
assets,
on
ipfs
and
falcoin.
A
A
A
A
So
if
you
have
that
data
and
if
that
data
is
standardized
according
to
these
different
schemas
you're
able
to
take
offset
a
offset
b,
really
compare
between
them
and
try
to
understand
what
what
the
differences
are
right
between
these
different
offsets
and
that
actually
brings
us
to
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
talk
about,
which
is
our
model
for
decarbonizing,
the
sustainable
blockchain
summit.
A
So
what
we
have
been
working
on
over
the
past
over
the
past
month
or
so
is
a
model
for
decarbonizing.
First,
the
sustainable
blockchain
summit
in
paris
that
we
had
in
july.
So
we
had
a
really
great
in-person
event.
Here
are
some
pictures
from
it
that
you
may
have
already
seen,
and
so
what
we
are
aiming
to
do
is
and
what
we
are
in
the
process
of
doing
is
laid
out
in
this.
This
falcon
green
tool
proposal,
which
one
is
it:
zero,
zero,
zero
seven.
A
So
we're
looking
at
offsetting
the
sustainable
washing
summit
here.
So
this
describes
the
process
that
we're
going
through,
and
so
what
we
did
here
so
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
lay
some
of
this
out.
The
the
problem
that
we're
trying
to
solve
is.
Is
this
problem
right?
How
should
we
make
transparent
environmental
claims
as
a
community?
A
So
a
lot
of
people
took
trains
or
planes
or
all
sorts
of
different
types
of
transportation
to
the
sustainable
blockchain
summit
that
emit
a
lot
of
carbon.
We
want
to
take
those
carbon
emissions
and
match
them
to
some
offset
right,
but,
as
has
been
in
popular
media
recently,
not
all
offsets
are
created
equal
and
if
we,
as
a
community,
are
saying
that
we're
decarbonizing
our
travel
to
the
sustainable
blockchain
summit,
we
need
a
process
that
is
open
and
transparent
and
respects
web3
native
values.
A
In
order
to
describe
what
those
offsets
are
and
how
we
came
to
those
claims
right.
How
did
we
decide
to
use
a
certain
set
of
offsets
in
order
to
decarbonize
or
travel
to
the
conference,
and
so
what
we
did
is
we.
We
took
data
from
a
bunch
of
different
sources,
so
one
of
them
was
the
the
sbs
attendee
list.
So
many
people
who
were
at
the
conference
filled
this
out
and
let
us
know
how
did
they
travel
to
sbs?
A
We
then
also
compared
that
to
the
list
of
actual
attendees
and
came
up
with
an
estimate
as
to
the
total
amount
of
carbon
that
it
took
in
order
to
travel
to
the
sustainable
blockchain
summit.
We
then
multiplied
that
emissions
by
a
factor
of
two
to
give
us
a
margin
of
safety
and
came
up
with
about
500
tons
is
the
estimate
for
travel
to
sbs
with
this
extra
margin
of
safety.
A
They've
come
up
with
different
principles
that
we
should
evaluate
when
we're
looking
at
a
given
carbon
offset
if
you're
in
this
space.
These
principles
are
probably
pretty
you're
you're,
probably
very
familiar
with
these
principles.
If
you're
new
to
this
space,
you
may
not
be
these
core
carbon
principles
are
principles
like
additionality.
A
So
what
that
means
is
this
offset
represents
carbon
that
was
either
removed
or
avoided,
which
would
not
have
been
removed
or
avoided
without
the
offset
right,
because,
if
someone's
already
doing
something,
that's
removing
carbon
from
the
atmosphere
say,
and
you
just
pay
them
extra.
That
extra
payment,
like
didn't
cause
more
greenhouse
gases
to
be
removed
from
the
atmosphere
right.
So
additionality
is
one
of
these
important
principles.
A
Other
you
know
important
carbon
principles
are.
Do
you
have
enough
information
on
what's
being
mitigated?
A
Are
you
ensuring
that
carbon
offsets
aren't
double
counted,
so
that
comes
back
to
those
problems
that
we
were
talking
about,
having
to
do
with
making
sure
that
we
have
enough
information
right
as
to
what
a
carbon
offset
actually
represents
and
that
we
are
preventing
people
from
claiming
the
same
carbon
offset
twice
right.
Permanence
is
another
another
factor
here.
So
how
long
is
that
carbon
dioxide
going
to
be
removed
from
the
atmosphere
or
avoided?
And
then
other
you
know,
other
other
properties,
including
does
this?
A
Does
this
carbon
offset,
have
co
benefits,
so
does
it
does
it
support
sustainable
development
in
other
ways,
other
than
just
removing
carbon
dioxide,
and
are
you
transitioning
towards
net
zero
emissions
right?
So
some
different
types
of
carbon
offsets
might
support
this.
This
carbon,
neutral
or
carbon
negative
economy
and
a
transitioned
hardwood
that
world
that
we
want
to
live
in
others
might
not
do
as
good
a
job
in
actually
supporting
that,
and
we
want
to
know.
A
A
You
know
just
as
a
as
a
draft
as
to
how
we
should
evaluate
these
different
carbon
offsets,
and
if
you
went
to
the
sustainable
washington
summit,
we
are
going
to
be
reaching
out
to
you
in
a
couple
of
days
in
order
to
ask
you
to
take
the
different
offsets
that
were
bid
into
this
system
and
give
your
feedback
as
to
how
well
these
offsets
do
on
these
different
dimensions.
A
So
an
example
here
are,
you
know
a
certain
a
certain
type
of
asset
from
nori?
Does
this
do
a
good
job
at
robust
quantification
of
emissions
reductions
and
removals?
Does
it
do
a
good
job
of
permanence?
Does
it
do
a
good
job
at
you
know
robust
third-party
validation,
so
these
principles
from
the
the
integrity
council
for
the
vcm
for
the
voluntary
carbon
market,
and
so
we're
going
to
do
there
is
we're
going
to
take
all
of
that
input.
A
A
Who
presented
at
the
conference
and
another
group
of
stakeholders
are
academic
experts,
so
people
either
in
a
graduate
program
or
or
who
you
know,
have
a
phd
or
are
a
postdoc
or
a
professor
in
a
relevant
field.
So
people
who
actually
like
are
really
deep
in
carbon,
offsets
and
study
this.
What
their
evaluations
are
of
these
different
carbon
offsets?
A
So
we're
going
to
publish
the
results
on
these
different
carbon
offsets
that
were
bid
into
the
system,
and
then
we
are
going
to
take
a
budget
and
allocate
that
to
these
different
carbon
offsets
in
order
to
maximize
the
the
score
from
these.
These
carbon
offsets
right,
and
so
the
point
of
this
is
not
that
this
is
the
way
to
make
transparent
environmental
claims.
The
point
of
this
this
decarbonization
process
is
just
that.
A
So
that's
what
I
have
thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
for
coming
to
this
meetup.
Does
anyone
have
any
questions
about
the
things
I've
just
been
talking
about,
so
about
any
of
the
updates
on
what
falcon
green
has
been
doing
either
the
the
refi
grants
or
co2
dot
storage,
how
we're
decarbonizing
the
sustainable
blockchain
summit,
or
about
the
upcoming
sustainable
blockchain
summit
in
october,
sbs
latim.
A
All
right
are
the
slides
available.
They,
let's
see
I
can.
I
can
make
them
available
see
I
can.
I
can
do
that
pretty
quickly.
A
All
right,
so
that's
it.
I
think
we're
gonna.
What
we
normally
do
for
these
meetups
is,
we
turn
off
the
streaming
and
we
turn
off
the
recording
and
if
people
just
want
to
want
to
hang
out
and
chat
about
anything,
we
we
discussed
feel
free
to
do
that.
But
thank
you
all
so
much
for
coming
to
the
the
september
meetup.
