$Earth - Solarpunk Dao

PSA Earthlings!! We're thrilled to announce that the $EARTH treasury has ventured into India's heart with our first megawatt of renewable energy by Helios 💚 We've funded crucial Rooftop Solar Projects across diverse locations, car dealerships, and factories. In a significant push towards a regenerative future, this initiative features: ☀ A 115 kW installation atop Xion Mall in Pune, energizing commercial spaces. ☀ Three installations totaling 110 kW atop Indus Motors dealerships in Kerala, powering automotive services. ☀ A massive 1,000 kW installation atop K2 Metals Factory in Maharashtra, illuminating heavy industry. These projects, which have been in operation since early 2022, have not only achieved 100% on-time payments and 0% defaults but also showcased exceptional power generation, reinforcing the reliability and efficiency of solar energy. By investing in India’s solar capacity, we aim to significantly cut the carbon footprint, enhance energy security, and foster economic growth through job creation. This move not only aids in combatting climate change but also supports India's shift towards renewable energy. ☀ 💚 $EARTH is proud to back these transformative solar solutions that pave the way for a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future LFG 💚 ⚡ ☘ 🌎

PSA Earthlings!! We’re thrilled to announce that the $EARTH treasury has funded yet another high-impact project - Solar Energy in Burkina Faso by Helios 💚 In 2020, only 21% of Burkina Faso’s population had access to electricity, making it one of the least electrified countries globally. ⚡️ By investing in a series of catalytic, high-impact solar projects, we aim to improve access to clean, affordable energy directly, enhancing living standards and fostering economic development in the region. 📈 Our investment is safeguarded as Helios is senior to a 60% junior tranche, ensuring repayment even in worst-case scenarios. 💹 With Africa’s abundant sunlight, these solar projects not only promise to tap into the vast untapped potential for renewable energy but also offer profound social impacts by empowering local communities and creating new job opportunities. ⏩ $EARTH is proud to back these vital clean energy solutions 🌞💚🌍⚡️ Let’s GROOW

𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐟𝐭 and 𝐎𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐮𝐦 have signed a record carbon credit deal worth hundreds of millions to offset Microsoft’s emissions. 💚 Occidental will sell 𝟓𝟎𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬 over six years, the largest deal of its kind, as Microsoft and Google face rising emissions from AI-driven data centres. Both companies aim for net-zero emissions by 2030. 🌐 Occidental, a major US oil producer, has expanded into carbon management, with credits for Microsoft coming from its Stratos direct air capture (DAC) project, set to be the world's largest. Despite high costs, DAC is crucial for cutting global carbon emissions. Will these efforts by tech giants be enough to reduce their carbon footprints significantly? 🤔 #ecoineconomy

China’s leading solar manufacturers, including Longi Green Energy, predict continued industry-wide losses due to oversupply. 📈 Analysts at Citi and Daiwa Capital warn of no immediate recovery, as prices remain below costs. Longi is betting on advanced technology for a turnaround, but it still needs to be cost-competitive. Investors are advised to remain cautious. ⚠ Will Longi’s new technology be the breakthrough the industry needs? #ecoineconomy

BlackRock has unveiled climate policies for $150 billion in funds to support a low-carbon economy 💹 The policies include reducing greenhouse gas emissions, investing in renewable energy, and enhancing climate-related disclosures. These initiatives aim to align with the Paris Agreement and encourage companies to adopt sustainable practices 🤝 BlackRock will also push for better reporting on climate risks and opportunities, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability in achieving climate goals 💚 #ecoineconomy

At FOSPA, 1,400 participants from Indigenous and local communities across nine Amazonian countries gathered in Bolivia, advocating for self-directed climate action. Frustrated by government-led COP meetings, they highlighted the urgent need to halt deforestation and protect the Amazon. Key discussions included energy access, the rights of nature, and Indigenous land tenure as crucial for conservation. ⏩ The event emphasized grassroots solutions, like Peru's recognition of the Marañon River’s rights, aiming to safeguard the Amazon's future. How can international bodies better support these community-led initiatives? #climatecrisis

We believe with the right set of incentives, close coordination across borders, and a community that values what matters there is nothing stopping us from holistically addressing the climate crisis and seeding the #solarpunk paradigm. $EARTH as a currency operated by its NODES is designed to fulfill this thesis. #letsGROW
