Through a series of thoughtfully curated events, including regenerative projects and hands-on workshops exploring diverse inner and outer regenerative methodologies, our project aims to empower individuals with the tools and knowledge needed to create sustainable, positive change in their neighborhoods. By creating our own ideas as well as forging partnerships with local climate organizations, we seek to amplify our impact and create a collaborative platform that not only addresses environmental challenges but also nurtures collective well-being and consciousness. Through ReFi Denver, we envision a vibrant and interconnected community working collectively towards a more regenerative and resilient future.\n\n#How we fit the eligibility \n\nReFi Denver is a community-driven Colorado project that revolves around local regeneration and collective growth. Through engaging events encompassing regenerative projects, diverse workshops, and collaborations with local climate organizations, we aim to bring neighbors together, foster sustainable practices, and cultivate a shared sense of responsibility for our environment. By building strong connections within our community, ReFi Denver seeks to ignite a powerful ripple effect of positive change, creating a resilient and interconnected network committed to both ecological restoration and personal transformation.\n\n#Offerings - What does it look like to be part of ReFi Denver?\n\nPart of being a ReFi local node means having monthly meetups be they brainstorming sessions, events, workshops and the like that serve to regenerate the local environment and build web3 community. There is a wide scope of goods and services that the Denver Local node could offer. Offerings range from community engagement and workshops, restoration projects, environmental cleanup, regenerative gardens and agriculture, partnering with established organizations, arts and entertainment for regeneration events, the list goes on!  \n\nWhen it comes to regeneration many of the needs in Denver and outside of the city have to do with infrastructure. However, some high needs with potential for immediate impact by this community are in water conservation and air quality. Because of the increased pop density in the city along with wildfires, the air quality suffers. Similarly, the ongoing drought conditions put water security at risk, particularly as Colorado provides water to other desert states. We can create and participate in community initiatives related to water conservation, organize clean-up events, and tree-planting projects to contribute to Denver's green spaces and improve air quality.\n\n#Experience hosting events and creating community \n\nIMPACT ReFi - Week of EthDenver 2022 \nThis was a ReFi event that Nikki organized while working for CarbonPath. The goal was to create an intimate thought leadership event with players in the ReFi space who have already launched and making an impact right now. The event was held in a small, beautiful venue near the conference and was MC'd by John Elisson. CarbonPath offset the approximated emissions by retiring CarbonPath tokens. Speakers at the event included: Marek of Celo, Ecosapiens, Ethichub, IDEO Toucan, Climate Collective, and others. \nView photos and the schedule of the night here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CjcJDn8NusUISh9RuxrrQaZ7h_ebtkYD?usp=sharing\n\nCarbonPath Launch Party \nOn the last day of EthDenver 2022 Nikki and Erik organized a launch party for the official launch of CarbonPath after their successful pilot project. The party was held at Beacon Denver and was similarly offset.  \n\nSmall community gatherings\n\nAn active member in her community, Nikki has organized tens of small scale gatherings both in her home and in nature that foster a sense of fun, growth and community among attendees. \n\n#Why am I right for task? \n\nNikki is a highly motivated and versatile with a passion for communications, creative expression, and mission-aligned work. Accomplished Chief of Staff with a successful track record in executive-level communications, organization management, and coordination, complemented by entrepreneurial expertise in healthful product creation, design, and impactful digital marketing for diverse clients. With a background in English and teaching, I have the ability to articulate ideas effectively and think critically. A self-starter with a calm demeanor, I thrive under pressure and adapt effortlessly to new challenges. I am eager to leverage my diverse skill set and creative flair to make a meaningful impact in the next chapter of my career.\n\n#Why are my co founders right for the job?\n\nA non-exhaustive profile written on Erik Baros and Kyle Westendorf on their behalf: \nThey have robust work background in engineering, and experience in the oil and gas industry. Erik has been a founder of multiple successful endeavors, an investor in multiple projects, and most recently, CTO of CarbonPath. Erik is skilled in seeing a problem from a horizontal view, that is, he has knowledge across a wealth of subjects and is able to pinpoint what needs to be prioritized to bring a project to fruition. \nErik is also listed as CTO in the ReFi DAO x Celo proposal. \n\nThe founders of ReFi Denver all worked together in CarbonPath, a ReFi startup that created methodologies that ensure the safe and permanent shut-down of old, leaking oil wells. This working relationship and mission is a good indication of a commitment to regeneration, as well as a guarantee of a harmonious and effective working dynamic to make the project come to life.\n\nErik and Nikki are long-time residents of Denver and the surrounding area. Erik has many corporate and social connections from working, living, and investing in local businesses. Nikki is based in Boulder where her immediate community includes environmentalists, outdoor professionals, coaches, and mental health professionals. This community offers plenty of access to relevant connections for regenerative efforts. Additionally, both Erik and Nikki grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and are alumni of the University of Colorado at Boulder, giving way to valuable local connections.\n\n#Conclusion\n\nDenver is a hub for technology, environmentalists, and wellness. These categories have clear intersections yet, what's lacking is a web3 movement that provides the foundation for those intersections to grow into something new. ReFi Denver is here to do just that, and bring to fruition the regenerative potential of such a buzzing city and state.", "hidden": false, "question": "Please explain how your project meets the round-specific eligibility criteria.
