Filecoin Orbit Community Event - Green Filecoin

What tools are we building to help Filecoin Storage Providers and Clients prove their renewable energy use? How can we better understand the environmental impact of Filecoin as a whole, and work to reduce it? How is our community engaging with the Green Crypto movement more broadly, and what standards are in the works to transition towards a verifiably carbon neutral or carbon negative network?
Join us to dive into these questions, and chart a path for environmental sustainability in Filecoin. Hear from stakeholders throughout the Filecoin ecosystem including Juan Benet the founder of Protocol Labs, Alan Ransil the Filecoin Green project lead, the Filecoin Foundation, Storage Providers who have made a pledge to environmental sustainability a core part of their vision, and partners at the Crypto Climate Accord and the Energy Web Foundation.
