Just 22 days left in @Artizen Season 6. This week, Giveth is part of the Frontier Fund Drive, with additional matching funds available to help us move the project forward. Causes V2 is our vision for a better way to fund public goods, helping donors support entire causes, not just individual projects. Every Artifact purchased helps us get one step closer. If you've been thinking about supporting Giveth on Artizen, now is a great time 💜 👇 artizen.fund/index/p/an-ai-…

"Sometimes I wish I could photosynthesize so that just by being, just by shimmering at the meadow's edge or floating lazily on a pond, I could be doing the work of the world while standing silent in the sun." - Robin Wall Kimmerer ☀️
And now for some good news around energy security☀️⬇️

"The thing people don't realize about renewable energy, although they are starting to now, is that it's not just mitigation of the climate crisis. It's adaptation. It's resilience. It's decentralized. It's less reliant on international supply chains."⬇️ ☀️ open.substack.com/pub/sammatey/p…
We love being participants in the renewables revolution. This is your invitation to join us: ☀️
Fossil fuels are wrecking our planet & holding economies hostage. Renewable energy delivers what fossil fuels never can: real & lasting energy security. Let’s make the right choice & unleash the renewables revolution for climate stability, energy security & a liveable future.
