Description
🌱 Turning regen philosophy into real-world action one person at a time 🌱 🔗powered by crypto, inspired by human potential 🌎
Based in Ottawa, Canada, we've already achieved many things, including hosting educational workshops, creating a 'getting started in web3' guide, hosting community meetups, partnering with other web3 protocols to support local impact and donating to local causes.
Our upcoming plans involve continuing to run meetups, and workshops, and collaborate with local web3 groups. We are seeking funding to sustain our chapter's growth and support the larger GPN ecosystem.
Since GG20, we have:
- alongside OperationWebTree, we purchased 160 white pine seedlings and coordinated with 8+ community partners to help with reforestation in our region.
- We co-hosted an artist onboarding event with Eepvers where we lead the onboarding workshop. We gave out .0015 eth to all who created their first wallet so that they could explore onchain.
In the last year we have:
hosted a regenerative crypto + greenpill presentation with the Nimiq Community (https://www.nimiq.com/) exploring DePIN, how web3 tools can help foster decentralized collectives, support local communities and more.
was a community partner and speaker at Innovator and Creative Social - discussed the power of crypto in coordination, the GreenPill Network, gitcoin and other regen web3 tooling (https://lu.ma/InnovatorCreativeSocial-Denver2024)
Partnering with Silvi for #OperationWebTree (reforestation project) to grow and plant White Pines in the Ottawa region (https://x.com/greenpillottawa/status/1760784630628692049?s=20)

To date we have also accomplished the following:

These accomplishments showcase our dedication to community-building, education and onboarding within web3, as well as our focus on making a positive impact in our local community..
Mission
As a GreenPill Network chapter, we are working to show people how crypto can be used to help regenerate the world.
Problem
Most people still view crypto as a net negative and don't understand how it can help build sustainable, regenerative systems and tools for everyone,regardless of what industry or field you're in.
Solution
We host workshops and onboard individuals and organizations to help demystify crypto by setting up their first wallet, sending them a little bit of eth to explore on chain etc. We run local impact initiatives such as tree planting, supporting our local food banks, and donating to local causes.
