We all know plastic is a problem, its impact on the environment cannot be overstated. Untangling our relationship, as humans, with plastic will be one of the great challenges of our time. UPF Coin is a project by Unplastify which, as the name implies, is on a mission to put the brakes on our consumption of plastic. Unplastify is based out of Argentina and the USA, and provides a wide range of educational and practical activities promoting unplastification.
Their primary area of interest is the crippling effects of plastic waste in our oceans. To that end in 2018 they embarked on an epic oceanic adventure where the team took off on a sailboat named “Fanky” across the Atlantic and back, collecting plastic samples and researching impacts and alternatives to plastic. Their voyage took them from the ports of New York City all the way to Corsica and back across the pond to Buenos Aires, Argentina. You can check out more of the work unplastify does on <a href="https://www.unplastify.com/">their website</a>.
The UPF Coin project introduces the powerful realities of blockchain and tokenization to their noble cause. At the heart of this lies a proprietary UPF blockchain which operates on a “proof of unplastify work” to distribute UPF coins. Every coin minted represents one tonne of avoided plastic consumption. Unplastification work done will be human validated by the UPF team. They plan to have a working blockchain and 25 UPF coins emitted by the end of this quarter! That’s 25 tonnes of plastic mitigated. Donations to their project will help them research and fund the deployment of the UPF token economy. <a href="https://giveth.io/project/upf-coin">Check out UPF Coin on giveth.io</a> and make a donation!
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ZWRksn8IkZ71sxBVkx8Z3Q.png"></figure><h3>Positive Blockchain</h3>
With an ever-increasing emergence of ‘blockchain-for-good’ projects, how can anyone keep up with all these amazing high vibes? Positive Blockchain is building the data-driven solution, having created the database for the blockchain-for-good universe. They maintain an impressive library of philanthropic blockchain project profiles that allow anyone to find projects working on causes they care about.
Positive Blockchain keeps track of the status of each project, whether they are in conception, began development or have already launched. From their <a href="https://pb.chainist.de/">Impact Dashboard</a> you can make a wide range of queries and see statistics of what projects are working on. They use the <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals">UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals</a> as part of the base metrics for querying projects. From the Social Impact Map you can see the distribution of blockchain-for-good projects worldwide.
They are asking for donations to expand their network of partners, maintain their databases and source out professional assistance in their tasks. If an excessive amount of funds are raised they will put them to expanding their network of projects in Africa. Visit the <a href="https://positiveblockchain.io/">Positive Blockchain website</a> and check out <a href="https://giveth.io/project/positiveblockchain.io">their project on giveth.io</a> to make a donation!
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*XMUbl2aVaJ-ehfxF"></figure><h3>CineFi Network</h3>
Coming soon to a blockchain near you! …
The decentralization of the film industry stands to be a great boon for artists, producers, actors and viewers alike. The game-changing dynamics of blockchain are pervasive across an expansive list of modern industries. CineFi is introducing a platform to revolutionize funding and revenue streams from film-making.
The CineFi Network begins with artists submitting proposals for films they’re inspired to create. A CineFi token (CINE) will be the medium through which users can interact with proposals and films. Platform users can decide whether or not to invest funds (CINE) into bringing the film proposals into fruition. If the film reaches its funding goal a fractilized NFT is generated which represents proportional rights to creators and investors of the film, guaranteeing a cut of the revenues generated. The platform also allows users to stream or purchase these decentrally financed films with the same CINE tokens.
By this novel system, CineFi effectively allows for real-time community signalling for what films they want to see made. Thanks to Blockchain technology, creators and artists can more transparently navigate the terms on which they share revenues generated from their works. The blockchain becomes the final source of truth for where the fractalized NFTs are distributed, where funding comes from and where revenues go.
According to the <a href="https://cinefi.network/">CineFi website</a> we can hope to see film proposals rolling in by around mid-2022. Checkout <a href="https://giveth.io/project/cinefi">CineFi Network on giveth.io</a> to make a donation!
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*zNQzliHR-4H7rWYG"></figure><h3>Good Work Foundation</h3>
Access to modern education programmes in rural communities has always proved to be challenging; resources, budgeting and infrastructure all play a role. In Africa, these challenges create troubling disparities between populations. The Good Work Foundation (GWF) is focused on closing this gap and raising the bar. They have created a wide range of educational programmes with a focus on digital literacy. The programmes offered go from primary school students all the way to post-secondary specialized training for adults.
On Giveth, GWF is raising funds particularly for their Open Learning Academy programme, which focuses on young students in rural South Africa. On the project page they mention the staggering statistics they’re grappling with:
“In rural South Africa, of 100 South African children that start school, approximately 60 will reach and write matric (high-school graduation exam), 37 will pass, and 12 will access university. This crippling problem will be even more exacerbated going into 2022.”
The programme intends to reach over 9,000 students from grade 4 to 8 in the municipality of Bushbuckridge in South Africa. The Open Learning Academy allows rural schools to outsource coding, robotics and digital literacy programmes to the GWF learning centre. The programme intends to support existing curriculums, rather than diverge from them, allowing participating children to build relevant skills to continue their education. You can learn more about GWF and their other programmes on <a href="https://www.goodworkfoundation.org/">their website</a>. Be sure to check out <a href="https://giveth.io/project/gwf-giving-tuesday-2021">their project on giveth.io</a> and make a donation to support rural African education!
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*AuJXQxmBkpgHAAn5bxWXEg.gif"></figure><h3>Co-funding the DAOist</h3>
The Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), as a concept, is reforging the archaic methods of how we organize and govern as humans. DAOs represent not just a technological blockchain breakthrough, but also a cultural force to be reckoned with. DAOs in effect allow organizations to form organically and continually evolve, leaning on blockchain transparency and computer-aided governance systems. The technology we use to create DAOs is constantly iterating upon itself however we as humans remain as the constant base layer, “Layer 0”.
The DAOist is a DAO (aptly so) that intends to capture this social phenomenon and to incubate resulting ideas, collaboration and cultural practices. This takes form as live and virtual events held around existing events in the Ethereum community. They host conferences where DAO champions can come and share experience and knowledge and to build partnerships with other value-aligned communities.
Their first event was in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBV5All5yM8">Paris for EthCC4 in July of 2021</a>. It was a huge success and the people demanded more, so they <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5aUHWDU7jg">hosted a second one in Lisbon</a>, in October, of the same year. Their instant success has only proven that there’s a real desire to open up a space for DAOs to share and learn. To that end, they want to create educational spaces, physical and virtual, to empower DAOs. They are also in the process of defining their DAO structure. The DAOist is seeking funds in order to continue to host events and to create a year-round space for DAO enthusiasts to meet, collaborate and learn. Check out <a href="https://giveth.io/project/cofunding-the-daoist">their project on giveth.io</a> to make a donation!
That’s a wrap for this one! Five projects shaking things up in our virtual and physical worlds. The digital realms being constructed are only becoming more ground-breaking and people are taking notice. Digital technology, particularly blockchain, is poised to revolutionize a wealth of domains, from education, arts, the environment, to even the fundamentals of how we organize.
Keep your eyes peeled for more details on the next phase of Giveth, it’s going to be BIG! Of course, we’ll have more projects to spotlight soon enough so watch this space.

Community Project Spotlight #4

It’s time for another batch of great projects from Giveth.io, hand-picked by our contributors. We have six amazing projects to feature in this edition of the community spotlight.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/360/0*-Wx3OUjJmUMDFR1p"></figure>There’s an exciting array of projects waiting below — everything from indigenous culture, to black art, to even the arcane realm of memery. Discover some of the magic on <a href="https://giveth.io/">Giveth.io</a> with these projects that are making waves in our physical and digital worlds. Let’s dive in!
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*j_7xLKpWuacqghno"></figure><h3>FUTURO NATIVO</h3>
is celebrating and spreading indigenous cultures and practices found in the western Brazilian region of Acre. They are creating donation pathways to empower several native tribes, and are propagating holistic practices to restore our connection with the Earth. They currently support four tribal villages in the region:
<ul>
<li>
Yawanawa — Shukuvena (“Toucan” in the local language) — Praised for fostering strong female leaders, this tribe is focused on agroforestry, food sovereignty, natural medicines and spiritual practices.</li>
<li>
Huni Kui — Pinuya (“Hummingbird” in the local language) — Residing in the northern zone of Acre, the village of Pinuya is making huge leaps in reforestation efforts and crop laying. They are focused on yielding saplings and food surpluses with the intention to move away from tourism and find alternative income sources.</li>
<li>
Huni Kui — Caucho — Dwelling in the basins of the rivers Juruà and Purus, the village of Caucho strives to reclaim their culture from the shocks of colonial industrialization. The Amazon Rubber Boom eroded much of their ancestral culture. They believe in sowing their culture through music, dance and art.</li>
<li>
Kuntanawa or “Coconut People” — Believe that plants are the way to connect with the spirits of the forest. They have mastered how to cure their people with traditional medicines and plan to cure the world by creating alliances of communities committed to restore the balance of nature.</li>
</ul>
Each tribe boasts dozens of families living on their ancestral land, which collectively is spread out over hundreds of thousands of hectares of Amazonian rainforest. These peoples steward their land, implementing traditional agroforestry techniques, as well as ply their artisanal craft-making skills. The tribes affiliated with Futuro Nativo also host visitors and workshops to teach their culture to the curious and passionate.
Futuro Nativo has very well defined funding goals which complement each tribe’s unique needs and offerings. Visiting <a href="https://www.futuronativo.org/projects">their website</a>, you can see projects range from tree nurseries, educational events, to even creating online stores to distribute their artisanal crafts. Check out <a href="https://giveth.io/project/FUTURO-NATIVO-1">their project on Giveth.io</a> to learn more about the projects of each tribe and to make a donation!
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*5Sl7N68_KePjc6CfQX3F2A.png"></figure><h3>Handshake Development Fund</h3>
carries the banner for open-source software and the free decentralized web. The Handshake Development (HNS) Fund is the community funding the Handshake protocol and affiliated systems. HNS at its core is a system for distributing internet domain names using cryptocurrency technology. The HNS protocol website hits home the need for better domain name distribution framework:
<blockquote>“Names on the internet (top level domains, social networking handles, etc.) ultimately rely upon centralized actors with full control over a system which are relied upon to be honest, as they are vulnerable to hacking, censorship, and corruption. . . . Services on the internet have become more centralized beginning in the 1990s, but do not fulfill the original decentralized vision of the internet. . . . Centralization exists because there is a need to manage spam, griefing, and sockpuppet/sybil attacks. Previous decentralized systems largely stopped working due to spam. If it were more costly to grief on the internet using decentralized systems, the need for trusted centralized corporations to manage these risks decrease.”</blockquote>
HNS uses a token (aptly named HNS) to register domain names. Using these cryptographic tokens, participants can transfer and update their registered names. By creating a decentralized and accountable system, HNS (by way of its users) can inhibit a centralized actor from scooping up all the domain names. The HNS Fund seeks out donations to keep afloat their open-source tools, such as DNS records, domain registries, and educational content. <a href="https://giveth.io/project/handshake-development-fund">Find their project on Giveth.io</a> and make a donation to support HNS public goods!

is creating the next generation of African entrepreneurs in Njombe, Tanzania. Njombe Innovation Academy (NIA) is importing the Social Innovation Academy (SINA) educational model which began in Uganda. The premise of SINA is to invite members of marginalized african demographics with passion and ideas to a co-living experience to gain the entrepreneurial skills to make their dreams a reality. SINA has proven to be extremely successful, tackling prevailing African issues around failing education systems and corresponding unemployment rates. Njombe Innovation Academy profoundly lays out their Theory for Change:
<blockquote>“The desired impact (of NIA) is an increased number of social challenges tackled in Njombe by youth-led enterprises with locally available resources. . . . we will bootstrap a self-organised community of youth in Njombe who commonly owns(sic) and manages(sic) resources (material, knowledge, financial, social) to create social enterprises out of challenges . . . “</blockquote>
SINA communities have been spreading around the continent and Uganda is ready, more than ever, for it’s own local SINA node. NIA identifies that local youth unemployment hovers around 10% with more than 40% never completing secondary school. Crippling rates of malnutrition and HIV hamper the societal and economic growth of Njombe.
Njombe Innovation Academy has outlined a clear plan for kick-starting the local SINA community. The first step is to send 3 local youth from Njombe to Uganda to gain insight from the original SINA. Then, with supporting members and facilities, these successful graduates begin to train subsequent cohorts of entrepreneurs. In 2 years they are targeting to put over 50 youth through the local Njombe SINA program and generate nearly a dozen new enterprises as a result. 50% of these participants will be women and a further 15% will be people with disabilities. All participants will come from poverty based backgrounds.
To learn more of NIA milestones, their funding targets and to make a donation, visit <a href="https://giveth.io/project/Njombe-Innovation-Academy-1">their project on Giveth.io</a>. NIA is also partnered with Giveth in Panvala’s Regenerative Commons Coalition, you can view <a href="https://panvala.com/njombe-innovation-academy">their Panvala listing here</a>.

The 21st century cultural phenomenon of memes has embedded itself firmly in the history of humankind. Meme Manifesto goes deep… deep, down the rabbit hole of memes as an ideological force and as a new medium of communicating complex, nuanced concepts. The project conveys itself as an amorphous transmedia project that will take various forms at various points of its evolution. The Manifesto itself expresses powerful reflections on meme culture:
<blockquote>“. . . we believe memes to be the latest iteration of the one true power that defines us as a species: the faculty to understand, interpret and alter our reality through linguistic and symbolic patterns of meaning. To understand this power means to hold the keys to control the uncertain grounds on which our common social world is constructed.”</blockquote>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*Af3Vvt7D79RFQ_KL"><figcaption>A snapshot of what to expect among the depths of the “meme iceberg”</figcaption></figure>On the <a href="https://mememanifesto.space/">Meme Manifesto we bsite</a> you can embark on a journey through the meme-sphere beginning from the nascent forms of memery, into the depths of niche cultural references and intricate memeified expressions. Prepare yourself, it’s a long way to the bottom. Donations made to this project will go to the artists who wrote and assembled the meme manifesto and its current representations. Check out <a href="https://giveth.io/project/meme-manifesto">Meme Manifesto’s project on Giveth.io</a> to learn more of their philosophy and to make a donation.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*znnu0Z_0mXY5WkoL"></figure><h3>Black Love Mural Festival</h3>
Held in downtown Denver, Colorado, The Black Love Mural Festival (BLMF) highlights prevailing issues in black society and the cultural anecdotes held within. It is also a celebration of the artistic talent of local black artists in Denver.
The festival itself was created from the momentum generated by the George Floyd protests with the first one taking place in 2020. In a collaboration between Rob The Art Museum and IRL Art, two local entities that organize community events and art exhibitions, they hosted 93 artists who painted murals all over the city, including around the state capital buildings.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*soKOQfTV8j-GaE9Z"><figcaption>Photo credits: <a href="https://denverite.com/2020/06/12/black-love-mural-festival-will-showcase-art-by-black-denver-artists-at-civic-center-park/">The Denverite</a> and <a href="https://www.blacklovemuralfestival.com/">Black Love Mural Festival</a></figcaption></figure>Now their mission is to prepare for future BLMFs and transfer these works into the digital realm. In 2021, largely resulting from the circumstances of the pandemic, new portals are being created to bring the festival to the blockchain. Several dozen artists have had their works minted as NFTs, to be preserved digitally. BLMF strongly believes that blockchain holds the solutions to empower minority groups and artists with the tools for a better future.
Funding received on the BLMF project will go to the volunteer team who not only pay gas in Ethereum to mint NFTs for artists but also continue to educate the BLMF artist community on using blockchain and the Ethereum network. Check out <a href="https://giveth.io/project/Black-Love-Mural-Festival">their project on Giveth.io</a> and make a donation to support black art in Denver!
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/0*qZ1sm8Gg8Eca_cpR"></figure><h3>Permaculture Action Network</h3>
is a North American collective that orchestrates action on environmentally regenerative programs. Utilizing music, culture, and art they have mobilized hands to create and maintain localized nodes of permaculture in over 65 cities for the last 5 years. In more concrete terms, this is executed via Permaculture Action Days; an event which organizes various activities including workshops and discussion panels, often in partnership with local music festivals or cultural events. During the event, participants are channeled to aid in the construction of permaculture infrastructure, such as community gardens, rainwater catchment systems and greenhouses.
The heart of activity during the event is the Permaculture Action Hub. This is the physical place which brings in curious festival attendees to learn a wide variety of subjects, ranging from alternative economies to mushroom cultivation.
Also featured during Action Days are Permaculture Action Courses. These are free, hands-on classes that teach regenerative ecological techniques and socio-economic structures for individuals and communities.
Adapting to the pandemic, the Permaculture Action Network has begun building their next interactive tool: the Just Transition Map. This map will show locations of community spaces and projects that are creating better alternatives to the current extractive economy. This will be a tool for the global environmental justice movement to coordinate and create action. Donations to Permaculture Action Network will help them build the Just Transition Map and to allow the network’s programs to persist through the pandemic. Check out <a href="https://giveth.io/project/permaculture-action-network">their project on Giveth.io</a> and make a donation to support permaculture education and environmentally regenerative tools.

Community Project Spotlight #3


Sage to Saddle aims to keep Native American youth focused on healthier alternatives to the prevalent poverty and substance abuse they live with, which are both major contributors to late winter’s “suicide season”. On America’s reservations, this suicide rate is four times the national average.

With 20 years dedicated to photographing America’s West, Nate Bressler realized while on photo-assignment shooting Native American horse racing teams for Outside Magazine, that a winter horse riding facility would greatly benefit the community of Pine Ridge. 
He teamed up with Lakota Native, Stan Brewer, the driving force behind Pine Ridge’s horse community who acts as Riding Arena Coordinator. Together, they created lofty but attainable goals that will bring structure, education, celebration, not to mention a safe haven, along with the opportunity for these Native youth to lift their chins with pride.

Sage to Saddle, with the support of the Pine Ridge community, hopes to provide this indoor horse riding arena for kids from 8-18 years old with an after-school program focused on equine relationships and the responsibilities horse care involves. Rotating through arena activities and the required time for completing homework in the attached classroom, students of the program will be granted the opportunity to carry on a horse nation’s tradition with the very animal that made their survival possible.

Rounding out the Sage to Saddle team, Angela Smith grew up in Utah, exploring the Mountains and Deserts throughout the West. She has been involved with nonprofits throughout her life, supporting differing charities and causes through volunteering, increasing public awareness, organizing private donations and events. While working in the field of software, design, and technology, she currently supports local groups involved with homeless families, mental health and addiction issues, and veteran work training programs in San Diego, CA.

We are on a mission to protect water regenerate the planet and restore all biodiversity on Earth! This film highlights the voices of the inspiring changemakers in the plastic-free movement paving the way offering us tangible solutions to the mess we've made. 

WHY?

Plastic is destroying our wildlife, polluting our drinking water, and is made with cancer causing chemicals like be BPA. It’s made from oil. The oil industry subsidizes all of the plastic products we consume, profiting trillions of dollars all while stealing and polluting our water running through indigenous lands… 

From racing extinction to climate change, environmental disasters, deforestation and plastic pollution. The fear based media is leaving us paralyzed stricken with anxiety and despair. 
We are here to empower individuals with solutions they can make in their own lives
And to make zero waste closed loop systems available to everyone. 

HOW? 

We are interviewing business shop owners, policy makers, and everyday heroes. 

TO CONTRIBUTE

Our first milestone is to receive a SONY As7 + Boom Rode Mic Pro + 35 - 50 MM Lens to complete all of the interviews in the Los Angeles area, film Reusable LA + their campaign Skip the Stuff, and then meet and film shop owners in San Diego as well as the San Francisco Bay area, highlighting solutions like Dispatch, which is a reusable takeout container program. 




Living the Solution Documentary

Conscious Medicine Collective is a dream project from master shaman and mystic Manex Ibar and life partner Victoria Ibar, to create a high-end boutique psychedelic consciousness center.  The intention is to create an ultimate set and setting and powerful pre, during, and post protocols that bring creativity, music, art, and high-end healing, medical practitioners, and influencers together into a club, that fosters innovation, problem solving, and creative solutions through the use of plant medicines, psychedelics, and consciousness programs.  We seek to raise 3-5Million Euros to create the full project on the already bought 12 acres of land, on a river in the Basque Pyrenees mountains.  Our aim is to cultivate a natural plant medicine herbal garden that follows the astrological, alchemical, and natural cycles and process the plants into spygarics (an ancient alchemical way of treating plant matter into precise medicine) which is the most effective and least harmful way to ingest plants, with precise measurement capacities, and effective dosing.  With our extended global network of doctors, chemists/pharmacists, healers, artists, musicians, and creatives, as well as leaders, we aim to bring the highest levels of service, bringing magic, nature, and wonder into an experiential club center that provides elevation of consciousness.  We hope you join us!
