As we all known tons of waste are generated/washed up ashore daily. Cleanups remove hazards from our shorelines, raise awareness, connect communities, save marine animals, preserve our natural treasures, keep toxic chemical out of the water and create a safer and greener environment for us and for future us.

PURPOSE
To clean up local beach, advocate on environment preservation, spread & share about Nouns DAO and our nounish ethos.

BENEFITS TO THE DAO
Charitable and green initiatives allow Nouns DAO to reach out to audience who are generous and kind at heart to begin with, to share the mission of proliferation of Nouns branding. To be able to spread our nounish footprint to more non-profit organization extending our nounish helping hand to everybody and anybody around the globe.

A simple brunch with all the volunteers once the clean up is concluded (Est 3hrs duration). To serve as a token of appreciation as well as a time to connect and advocate about our course.

4. Transport funding to cover logistic as I will be managing this alone. From purchasing tools, bringing them to meet up point, etc.

TIMEFRAME
Upon receiving funds:

Week 1 to 2 - Purchase Tools + Merch Production + Open volunteering application to local community

FUTURE PLAN
Volunteers who participated in our first round of beach clean up will be invited for our subsequent beach clean up. Tools purchased can be re-used thus no fresh funds are required. For new volunteer(s) that are joining us in our subsequent clean up, they will be given our nounish merch if there are any left overs. Fresh funds might be needed to create more merch when new pool of volunteers grow.

To also explore other charitable and green initiatives.

Sounds like a pretty cool thing to do at a reasonable price. Which beach do you have in mind? Could you incorporate getting a photographer to generate some media that could be shared?

This is awesome!
Small price to pay, especially with someone capturing the event to share online and potentially spark more of this globally.

This is great, knowing the beach is a place that is sometimes overlooked because of its cleanliness, I personally don’t really pay much attention to this but in the end it will definitely have an impact.

I don’t know what strings you can pull, but we need a 30ETH prop house round to give 2ETH to 15 projects that will do good things like this. It would unleash incredible creativity in the community.
