On July 20, 2022, EarthFund will be kicking out a new cause called “Carbon Removal,” and the organization is quite enthusiastic about this announcement. Dr. Lucy Tweed is the founder of this initiative, which will concentrate on locating and funding community-led carbon removal initiatives as a means of contributing to the battle against climate change and removing carbon from the atmosphere. Supporting nature-based programs at the grassroots that help eliminate carbon and benefit local populations is the mission of the Carbon Removal Cause, which was established with the purpose of ensuring that meaningful and effective action will be taken to combat climate change.
Although environmentally friendly technology and industrial approaches to addressing climate change are long-term answers, they are still some years away from being ready for widespread implementation. People now have access to nature-based solutions, which can help natural systems and increase the amount of carbon dioxide that they take in by conserving and rebuilding ecosystems that are rich in carbon (forests, peatlands, mangroves, and seagrass beds).
Dr. Lucy Tweed comments on the Carbon Removal Cause:
“Individual action is crucially important. Recycling, flying less, voting for progressive candidates, and eating less meat… are all great. But to accelerate climate action, we need to come together to create scalable models for broader systemic change. This is no secret. The problem is that there hasn’t been a tool for collective, meaningful, and coordinated global action until now. The Carbon Removal cause is an accessible and inclusive community where people can come together as a collective to support sustainable community-led carbon removal projects and bring about real change.”
Crypto Donations To Revive The Environment
Regrettably, natural methods of carbon removal are rapidly becoming less about addressing climate change and more about maintaining a positive public image. Major corporate companies swoop in, engage in annexations, and hinder local populations’ access to vital resources while supporting tree-planting schemes that are ill-suited to the local environment and disrespect the local population.
Dr. Lucy Tweed, who obtained her Ph.D. from Columbia University for work in carbon removal and is commencing a new career as an associate climate researcher at Cambridge University, is the leader of the Carbon Removal DAO. This organization was established to assist communities all over the world in reclaiming sovereignty over their land by sponsoring nature-based carbon removal programs that prioritize local livelihoods and environmental justice.
In the Carbon Removal DAO, people from all over the world can get together to search for carbon-removal projects, vote on which of those projects should receive the funds they require to make a difference, and accept cryptocurrency donations. The mission of the Carbon Removal DAO will be to provide financial support for a variety of strategies for combating climate change. These strategies include preserving carbon-rich ecosystems, rebuilding ecosystems, practicing regenerative agriculture, and exploring innovative carbon removal strategies. Each project will put the community’s needs first, ensuring that local livelihoods are not jeopardized in the name of climate change mitigation.
An Innovative Crypto-Native Crowd Funding Platform
The crypto-native crowdfunding platform EarthFund is truly revolutionary, and it is intended for initiatives and ideas that have the potential to make the world a better place. The native token of EarthFund is called “1Earth,” and it can be purchased directly from earthfund.io or traded on KuCoin, Uniswap, and Gate.io. 1Earth holders are eligible to receive rewards for engaging in self-governed, cause-focused communities by deciding on which initiatives should be supported and funded. By participating in 1Earth and EarthFund communities, everyone will have a significant say in shaping the future.
The distribution of CarbonCommons tokens to EarthFund’s community members is scheduled to take place on July 27. The token will not be traded on a decentralized exchange (DEX) or any other trading platform; nevertheless, it will be possible to trade it on EarthFund’s platform in exchange for 1Earth. Once a user possesses the CarbonCommons token, they will be able to vote on initiatives and recommendations, get rewarded in USDT for their participation, and join Dr. Lucy Tweed as well as other climate activists, researchers, and supporters in an exclusive Discord channel. Voting on projects and ideas will allow users to help shape the future of the CarbonCommons ecosystem.
EarthFund CEO Adam Boalt adds:
“We’re all incredibly excited for Dr. Tweed to be launching her cause on our platform. Not only is she going to be conducting research into carbon storage at Cambridge University, but through her cause on the EarthFund platform, she’s also going to be growing a global community that gets rewarded for being the driving force behind finding and funding carbon removal projects around the world. This is what we built EarthFund for — to give ordinary people the tools they need to bring about real change on a global scale. We can’t wait to see what the Carbon Removal DAO achieves.”
