Greenpill Earth Week

Greenpill Network Proposals

GM Greenpill, Earth Day is coming up on Wednesday, April 22, and I’d love for us to use this thread to align on what we want to do together, both locally and online.

Rather than just posting about Earth Day, let’s use it as a moment to coordinate real regenerative action and make it visible, measurable, and fundable.

My suggestion is that we organize around a few possible tracks:

  • local cleanups or waste audits

  • community garden or tree-planting workdays

  • teach-ins / onboarding sessions on regen, public goods, and web3

  • mutual aid or neighborhood resilience efforts

  • small public goods experiments we can continue after Earth Day

A big opportunity here is to use Green Goods to document the work before, during, and after the day: photos, tasks, outcomes, learnings, and impact evidence, so the community can actually track what happened and build on it.

And where it makes sense, we can use Gardens or adjacent web3 coordination tooling to help surface priorities, support proposals, and resource the best ideas so Earth Day becomes a launchpad, not a one-off moment.

If you want to participate, reply with:
1. your initiative idea
2. your city / chapter / local community
3. what support you need
4. whether you can help document through Green Goods
5. whether this should become a proposal or funding experiment

My hope is that by the end of this thread we leave with:

  • a shortlist of initiatives

  • owners / stewards for each one

  • a simple Green Goods documentation flow

  • any proposals we want to move into Gardens or related tooling

Let’s make Earth Day a day of coordination, contribution, and visible impact. :seedling:

Great idea for the Greenpill chapters to collectively make Earth Day impactful, yes as GPKenya we would welcome to be part of this experiment

As our community is more diverse we would love to explore on the below Actions on the said day and definitely not only document on Green Goods app but onboard new Gardeners to the platform announce our own app to the community and be a case study. Action areas:-

i). Plastic collection exercise starting point and drop off Mortech Regen hub which will be equipped with bins to measure and document on the Green Goods app.

ii). Tree planting exercise collection point Mortech Regen Hub where we will dish out tree seedlings and some organic fertilizer action taken and later documentation on the Green Goods app

iii). Organic composting exercise at the Regen Hub take through how composting is done, mixed with biochar and biogas slurry and hopefully pelletizing which we have identified purchase of a pelletizing machine with a demo

iv). Blockchain class exercise main focus how to navgate the Green Goods app and how to become a Gardener which we believe is part of Ethereum education.

Am sure question is why broader Actions? We have a diverse community with diverse abilities why not capture all and onboard target more Gardeners.

Resources needed definetely

i). Marketing the event IRL with flyers

ii). Earth Day resource brochures why our Action items and importance why we are doing this

iii). Merch and even decor to have workshops, volunteers, videograph/photos etc

iv). Lunch and probably a drink with Dj entertainment to hype the event. etc

Having a community Regenerative Hub gives us a comparative advantage to be able to execute our Actions hands as they can actually see with there own eyes what we have achieved over the past year and half

Regenerative Hub, Regen garden, Composting zone, Plastic and glass bottle reuse/recycle evidence plastic bottle gate and finally Green Goods app

Proposal or funding experiment we have a tentative budget of like $550 or 0.25ETH but still finalizing the details, lets announce Green Goods app in style with GpKenya being a case study

feel free to comment and questions

Find some pics/actions of what we are doing IRL

GreenSofa might not have the power to host a IRL event on coming 22 Apr. But if possible, i will try to discuss about virtual meeting which is closed to Earth Day.

Now i am trying on how to use Green Goods to record recent work.

Weaving a Regenerative Future: MEGAWEAVING x Earth Day

As Earth Day approaches, GreenSofa is excited to share the latest progress on our regenerative taiwan localism project: MEGAWEAVING.

Introduction of Megaweaving

Megaweaving are evolving from a 10,000+ member community group into a decentralized, database-driven platform designed to bridge global surplus resources with local needs. To celebrate Earth Day, we are launching a teaser of our new web platform!

We are moving beyond closed commercial platforms to build a “Share Commons”—a distributed library of things where resources stay in circulation permanently, managed by the community, for the community.

Megaweaving facebook community with 10,000+ Taiwan local citizens

Side project of Megaweaving

REFI is an internal side project of megaweaving that encourages the creative reuse of existing or donated materials. The project is currently in its prototype stage, and we’d like to share its concept and progress on the webpage of Earth Day.

Requested Sponsorship/RetroFunding:

$50 - $200

To cover lightweight database hosting for the teaser phase & community documentation

Details

We propose using the MEGAWEAVING teaser launch as a digital infrastructure experiment for Earth Day. We will facilitate a “Resource Audit & Mapping” session where users can document idle tools or materials (for cleanups, gardening, or mutual aid) and list them on our prototype database.

City: Taiwan local citizen

Documentation through Green Goods

Yes. We will document the number of resources “onboarded” to the commons during the Earth Day period. We’ll provide the one page website.

Impact

We encourage visitors to leave their contact for further community development for MEGAWEAVING.

“If you believe in a world where no resource goes to waste, please drop your Email/Line in our form. Let’s make this Earth Day the start of a permanent resource commons!”

Special thanks

Super thanks to our supporter & friends for supporting this journey:
FAB DAO, Greenpill Network, and GreenSofa.

I really appreciate the idea of coordinating cosmolocal events for Earth Day.

Unfortunately we couldn’t join the GP Earth Day coordination since we had 2 holidays last week we had to postpone our IRL gathering to tomorrow 30.4: ✧.* Web3 Café #4: Terceiros Espaços & Comunidades Emergentes · Luma
