Sustainable Solution Hub

[IMPACT]

Allow the Cardano community to engage and be a decentralised business providing solutions to global warming, ensure food securities, and ending malnutrition, while driving adoption and awareness of Cardano.

This is an opportunity for a project to help lower Cardano's carbon footprint. This project is striving towards net zero carbon output for Cardano and a profitable social impact enterprise.

There is a requirement for education into this sustainable business (Benefits, positive impacts, food securities, reduced climate impact), with net zero goals the ability to strengthen food securities worldwide.

Education and building a community following, through multiple social media platforms, forums and in the Cardano community.

Building a self-reliant community from a seed of researchers, academics & entrepreneurs.

After years of peer reviewed research and discovery education is required to draw attention to alternative environmental and social benefits that can be connected to the Cardano blockchain.

This education will include,

1. Introductory videos (animated and field recordings), explaining all the benefits of sustainable Algae products and production procedures.
2. How the Cardano blockchain benefits from positive impact projects
3. Informative social media animations and imagery
4. Website content and articles
5. How real world sustainable projects can thrive on the blockchain

The Algae industry has improved in its scientific approaches to inoculation, cultivation and production of algae based products and our team has been at the forefront of these operations, working to assist with many of the fundamental improvements and changes to processes and operations.

DAO identification and education

The education into a Decentralised autonomous governance for governance and enhanced project selections with positive social impacts.

The main risk is the lack of community involvement, this is another reason for requiring education on the industry and Caradno communities.

Brining awareness to the Cardano community about alternative sustainable social projects which strive towards a net zero footprint for the Cardano ecosystem. A project that has advanced commercial experience in sustainable projects.

[FEASIBILITY]

We have allocated four months for the Team to establish a business system model that allows the flow of information to current communities and groups.

This begins with content creation for social media platforms, scientific content creation, identifying the social and environmental benefits of the project on the Cardano Blockchain.

This will expand to six months where we will strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership between peers and our collaborators for Sustainable communication and development.

Collaboration impact

Engage and grow a collective hub of Cardano impact projects

Early collaboration has commenced within the Cardano Community, this includes, Climate teams and multiple projects with similar goals. These collaborations will continue to expand as the proposal matures.

We propose to collaborate with Algae: Rhythm (foundation & proposer of FOSS funding mechanism to save 🌍 (ideascale.com) Algae: Rhythm is providing researcher community "stubs" from university of Naples. This is coupled with Algae Tokens Scientific expertise in Australia makes an excellent collaboration. The search engine built by Algae: Rhythm will provide funding (in the future) for the Launchpad/Hub

A collaboration with Spiralway, where they have committed to a podcast episode and community meeting.

[AUDITABILITY]

A scientific approach to all educational productions, the content must be scientifically sound and informative. The content must also be visually and sonically appealing, creating interest in the project and the Cardano blockchain.

Number of education videos and content produced.

Progress will be measured by Identifying production techniques and procedures for the creation of educational videos, as well as website architecture and design. Focusing on a time to market methodology with assistance from consulting media experts and inhouse team.

Team and community management

Team communication activates, meetings, project reporting through Gannt chart project management and goal analysis. The creation of social media campaigns meeting deadlines for content creation, media production

Communication Activities

Maintain set development milestones to track progress of community growth towards the goal of 10000+ social followers and engaged community members on social media,

Task tracking

1. Analysis of feedback and view numbers of educational videos, web content (monthly website traffic) and social media images (Number of Qualified Leads). Maintaining goals and milestones created in documentation and review, Business meeting notes and reports to ensure deadlines are met for content creation and publishing.

Assessment stage, Team members and Community advisors evaluate the outputs of the campaign, maintaining focus on the challenge goals of the proposal

Build a Cardano based Community Hub with a following of over 10000 people to educate on the benefits of Algae and other microorganisms. Encouraging social minded people to the Cardano blockchain/network driving adoption.
