Markets are not efficient as they do not account for the full cost of the products, goods, services. Meat is too cheap. Energy is too cheap. The real cost is externalised to nature, vulnerable communities, future generations.\n\nOur first initiative is to build an educational programme for impact evaluators \"on the ground\". Not flying fancy experts to measure CO2 / eco / bio / organic / fair trade practices, but a local person with mobile phone and a new job title \"impact evaluator\" . Much faster, much cheaper, much more scalable. Leveraging the full spectrum of Web3 technologies, something that wasn't possible before: attestations, proof of location, reputation, dispute resolution, token engineering, incentives, game theory.\n\n\n### Seed has been planted\n\nThe project originated at GG20.\n\nMeasuring full cost of the products / good / services seems like the most impactful fix to deal with the climate change: https://x.com/WeDontHaveTime/status/1750813829951627574\n\n![](https://i.imgur.com/V5UeBFx.png)\n\n_(the progress with BaseX wasn\u2019t enough, decided to fold, other factors were contributing too)_\n\nBottom line: measure the full cost, that includes externalities.\n\nNotable example: food system. Land use (opportunity cost of land, nature solution to carbon drawdown). Groundwater aquifers depletion, rivers required for hydropower. Fertilisers. Agricultural run-off (algae bloom, oxygen depletion, dead zones). Pesticides. Pollution. Transportation. Refrigeration (ozone layer). Obesity. 17% of GDP in the US is healthcare aka \"sickcare\". Food is the best medicine. And yet the cheeseburger in McDonalds is the the \"cheapest, most nutritious, and bountiful food that has ever existed in human history\"\n\n**SOURCE:** https://freakonomics.com/2013/03/the-most-bountiful-food-in-human-history/\n\nThat cheeseburger should be more expensive. Free market. But markets are not efficient: lobbies, regulation, subsidies. My personal vision for IEF is to measure / report / evaluate / quantify full cost of the product goods services, especially in the context of climate and metacrisis.\n\n# Collaborative effort\nAll projects in this round are under the umbrella of the Planetary Council. Too many of them \ud83d\ude48 Need to focus, need to prioritise, that\u2019s why dedicated round acting as community vote. We also welcome _(more than welcome)_ potential supporters and collaborators \n\nStarting a project _(hackathon or otherwise)_ is just a first step on the journey. Some people are better with starting multiple projects _(connectedness, finding gaps in the market)_ some people are better as **BUSINESS OPERATORS** who enjoy single minded focus.
