At Sustainable ADA we are trying to create a starter kit and network that promotes the adoption and technologies behind Cardano. Showing the example of how it can change the world and make it a more sustainable and equal place for all. We will be creating informational content on how Cardano can connect to our current sustainable development goals.
In addition, sharing projects as they are created and ran on Cardano. Explaining their use cases, and how they can implement Cardano's blockchain technologies and partnerships. To interview/publicize, showing how people in the world are implementing these technologies into their communities and ecosystems. This will help increase the network's ability to make the world a more sustainable place. In addition, with creating outreach for the people unsure what this technology is, and how they may be able to incorporate it into their business or corporation.

Goals:

- Create informational content, exploring how Cardano can make the world more sustainable or help work towards completing current (SDGs).
- Create a network exploring and promoting current projects running on Cardano, that will help make strides towards a sustainable world.
- Encourage other members from outside the community to come in and implement their sustainable projects on or working with Cardano's blockchain technology.

Create a sustainable ADA Deck:
The goal of the Sustainable ADA deck is to get the attention of people from all over the world of all ages and demographics. The info in the deck will be quick and to the point. This is so we can express and explore connections with Cardano and sustainability while being able to teach and execute valuable information onto the community in an effective way. This allows someone to gain powerful value in a quick and timely manner. The reason for this is because people don't have 10-30 minutes to learn, or they just don't take the time to. This will allow those people to find a connection with a least one of our resource cards and find a need to look at others. Leading to a ripple effect of knowledge.

Connect with people in the community creating the Sustainable ADA Network:
- This will be a network of teachers and project leaders who have implemented or are trying to implement a Sustainable project on Cardano and areas where these projects can be started and promoted.

Sustainable ADA Educational resources:
- Creating courses for the youth and all to help explain the connection Cardano has with sustainability and showing the connections with specific SDGs.

Sustainable ADA Network:
- A place for people to connect with others, and learn how to implement their ideas onto the Cardano blockchain with their business or use cases.

When someone asked what we want/desire to do?

"This organization Sustainable ADA would be an educator and activist for the Cardano community and Ecosystem. An idea we had was to put a large focus on Financial Identity at the beginning, and how this is a key component that will lead into the rest of our SDGs. Focusing on how this can create equality, sustainable economies, and a better environment.
Leading from this by taking a deep dive into what a Cardano Stakeholder is and how this ecosystem is focused on Stakeholders, not a shareholder or one who holds lots of ADA. Also, a second connection to our SDGs with current technologies created for or running on the Cardano blockchain. An example of this would be expressing the importance of improvements to agriculture systems/supply chain efficiency; the focus of tracking and eliminating counterfeit goods in the retail system; help solve healthcare issues with fake medicine and a financial loss. These are just a few examples of direct changes Cardano is making.
Some SDGs' that connect right away and stem off of financial identity are #1 No poverty, #8 Economic Growth, #9 Industry innovation, and infostructure, #10 Reduce inequality, #11 Sustainable Cities and Communities, #12 Consumption and Production. These are direct areas we see Cardano making change, and the goal is to express how this change can be made. Also, Cardano helps chip away at other SDGs. This is so we can educate the community and our outer community. To take a strong look at Cardano and as more projects and Dapps are deployed on the Network share them with the community. This way we can be transparent on new projects working towards our Sustainable Development Goals."

"Elevator Pitch"
Sustainable ADA will create a bridge and connect use cases/example of how Cardano can help change the world and make it a more sustainable and equal place for all. Connecting Cardano to our current sustainable development goals (SDGs), showing the improvements and value that can be added to these goals. Providing a learning, and collaboration space for others who want to incorporate their idea or get guidance on how it has been done before.
