new @greenpillnet pod out today
in 2022 greenpill was a book and a telegram group. 4 years later it has quietly become greenpill dot network: 12 local chapters on 5 continents, doing real stuff in real places.
- brazil ran a local round that funded 21 projects
- nyc parks community capital in an octant vault and sends 100% of the yield to decentral park
- nigeria built a solar hub that gives students in awka reliable power + internet (izzy's vision, rest in peace)
- london, ontario runs a repair cafe and a library of things
in greenpill irl ep 1, "building a coordi-nation," w @MattyCompost + @time_is_oba. we get into the burnout and the dried-up grants we lived through, and why the next chapter looks more cosmolocal.
