Hey everyone! It's undeniable that we need to take urgent action on climate change, and there are some fantastic products and tech initiatives that are making great strides to tackle it. What are your favorite products tackling climate change, and what makes you particularly excited about them?

We still have a long way to go, but our intention is to give young people the opportunity to have fun shopping online (how boring are marketplaces? ), while doing good for the planet and ensuring 100% secure transactions. We have decided to do this through the use of different technologies: - Automated calculation of the CO2e of all products on the platform -> The value derived indicates the emissions avoided (carbon avoidance) due to the consumption of a used/refurbished good instead of a new one, or the amount of CO2e we commit to offset (carbon removal) once the exchange is completed. - Goal-based reward system -> Through sales/purchases within the platform it is possible to level up and earn ERC20 green tokens, Seed and Leaf that will allow for various benefits (all use cases will be revealed soon) - Verification of sellers -> There are no nicknames on the platform, sellers have compulsory KYC and we have created a system that through product tracking is able to keep the buyer's money safe until product delivery is confirmed We have many other features in mind to be implemented in the near future (spoiler: a social selling feature via mini videos recorded at the time, so as to further limit the possibility of selling products that don't really exist), but to do so we first need your precious feedback to improve this version.
