BaseX — new definition of value
Fixing economic incentives related to climate change.

••• TLDR ••• 
 
New definition of value.
 
Beyond GDP.
 
GDP only  - fresh air has no value. Air pollution causes disease, people in hospitals, and medical bills - good for the economy.
 
Living elephants have no value. Dead elephants have more value 🤷‍♀️ that’s why they are poached for ivory.
 
(the list of examples can go on and on)

The key concept of “Triple bottom line”  (people, planet, prosperity) —  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bottom_line  — has been around for a while but we have the capacity to address the problem.

The timing is perfect for this project to succeed:
- satellites
- drones
- IoT sensors
- big data
- blockchain (transparency, integrity, incentives)
- awareness of climate change

••• PROGRESS & NEXT STEPS ••• 

Toucan grant - rejected. Kleros incubator - rejected.
The work on the project continues regardless.
This is one of the most important projects that can ensure the human race will survive.

Spaceship Earth. Infinite growth on the finite planet? We can change the metrics of success and continue to grow in a regenerative way.

••• TEAM •••
