Inspiration

8AM, GMT Aug 9th 2021, the world's largest ever report into climate change is published, setting out the stark reality of the state of the planet. The report "is a code red for humanity", says the UN chief. But scientists say a catastrophe can be avoided if the world acts fast. Echoing the scientists' findings, UN Secretary General António Guterres said: "If we combine forces now, we can avert climate catastrophe. But, as today's report makes clear, there is no time for delay and no room for excuses.”

Sustainations DAOis a humble effort to combine forces across the world to avoid the foreseeable climate catastrophe. We are travelers, engineers, makers, creators, business owners, students.. people who care about the planet. We are here to find the holy grail of the blockchain industry: sustainability, profitability and technology.

What it does

We are, at our heart, a global Decentralized Autonomous Organization with over 1,000 members. 


🤝 We want to harness the potential of Dfinity’s Web3 as a force for achieving the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals. 


🚀 To fund projects and govern our community activities, as well as co-own what we produce together, we use a blockchain-based token called $TIIM. With $TIIM, we can incentivize community participation and communal value creation. $TIIM is held by all members, ensuring that we are all committed to each other endeavors. 


🌳 We all profit when we contribute to the group's efforts' success. As an involved and supportive community, this is a method of enhancing the value we bring to one another.

How we built it

We started with a Kickstarter for Sustainable Projects on Dfinity where members can contribute funds and vote to kickstart and execute great sustainable ideas.

We will expand our DAO software to Project Management, Fund Management, Metaverse and Offline Refill Network for eco-products.

Challenges we ran into

We didn’t have enough time to execute our full vision of a DAO

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We have:

  • Started a Refill Station Network with 20 retail stores for eco-products.
  • Signed membership with 12 sustainable businesses
  • Produced 9 podcasts with sustainable founders. link
  • Deliver discount products and services for DAO members.

What we learned

People are looking for new way to work together to find solutions for SDG challenges instead of waiting for governments.
