It’s great to see the US State Department meeting with and learning about @reseedcarbon’s Quilombola smallholder farmer partners in Mesquita!
Special Rep for Racial Equity and Justice@US_SRREJ25 May 2023
My team and @StateDRL and @IRF_Ambassador colleagues heard from members of the Afro-Brazilian community of Quilombo Mesquita this week about the importance of cultural preservation, land rights, and access to education and healthcare during our visit. Thank you for welcoming us!

What a day. Proud to publicly dive into the positive impacts blockchain may have on environmental efficiency + socio-economic inclusion. Relieved I also got to sneak in a defense of PoW and #Bitcoin whilst adding more nuance to the energy conversation. More to come.

Excited to see this kind of pressure against the stubborn inaction of govs & businesses. Let’s take substantive steps to reduce our dependence on all fossils fuels, stop deforestation and protect and expand natural carbon storage in vegetation and soils. theguardian.com/environment/…

Green activists brought challenge, arguing climate change strategy did not spell out how carbon emissions cuts would be achieved

It turns out, photosynthesis is one of the best ways to get carbon out of the atmosphere and stored in the ground. Yet we seem to be hell-bent on spending billions to avoid protecting forests/soil. This ad nails it: youtube.com/watch?v=MSZgoFyu… The solution: @reseedcarbon

This type of crap is why we at @reseedcarbon are partnered with farmers w/total transparency of all data, payments and transactions via blockchain. We’re setting the standard for fair trade carbon sourced from small farmers, so everyone can avoid this: bloomberg.com/features/2022-…

BP Paid Rural Mexicans a “Pittance” for Wall Street’s Top Climate Solution

The oil giant has found a climate bargain in some of Mexico’s poorest areas, paying a fraction of market rate for carbon offsets to rural villagers working to protect their forests.

"Small farmers do not have access to the carbon market right now because of complexities and intermediaries. We are building products and services to solve this and have just launched with 5,000 farmers in Brazil." -@jknauer #reseed #consensus2022 @cradl_org
