THE ATLANTIC FOREST
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest is identified as a tropical forest biome. Its territory extends from the East, Southeast and South coast of Brazil, to the East of Paraguay and a portion of Argentina, in South America.
Its entire area is of extreme environmental importance for the regulation and climate balance around the world.
But, due to its rich biodiversity, the Atlantic Forest has become the main target of deforestation and human exploitation over all these years.
For this reason, it is the second most threatened biome on the planet, struggling to survive and maintain its remaining 12.5% of forest belonging to its original ecosystem. To give you an idea, the majority of Brazilian species of animals and plants (vegetation) threatened with extinction belong to this biome.
Not to mention that a large part of the native indigenous communities of this area since the colonization of the country are already extinct, due to the lack of resources in the region, and only a portion of these tribes still survive.
Even so, there are still several different native animal species, including more than 270 mammals, 1000 birds, 370 amphibians, 200 reptiles and 350 fish, such as the golden lion tamarin, the jaguar, the capybara, the leopard, sloth , the ocelot and hummingbirds among many other animals.
It is not by chance that all this wealth of such a diverse ecosystem attracts criminal and illegal exploitation of nature.
As a result, more than 60% of the native animals in this area became extinct at the beginning of the year 2000, harming and negatively impacting the ecosystem as a whole.
Currently, 72% of the Brazilian population lives along the urban strip located in the Atlantic Forest and 70% of the National GDP is concentrated in this biome.
The same area is also home to traditional native indigenous tribes such as the Wassu, Pataxó, Tupiniquim, Gerên, Guarani, Krenak, Kaiowa, Nandeva, Terena, Kadiweu, Potiguara, Kaingang, Guarani MBya and Tangerang, among others that have survived.

>Q&A
-
WHAT IS AN NFT?NFT is an acronym or abbreviation of the English word "Non-Fungible Token", which in Portuguese means “Non-fungible Token”. Any digital, cryptographic image or symbol created to represent a new way of owning digital goods or assets, which guarantees exclusive ownership of a unique product or work of art.
-
HOW ARE NFTs USED?NFTs were created to be used as verifiable digital scarcity as well as a new form of digital ownership to make possible the interoperability of assets across multiple platforms through their exchange, purchase and sale. They can be used in various applications that require unique digital items such as encrypted art and crypto-collectibles, created for this particular project, in order to help with our mission to reforest the Atlantic Forest.
-
HOW DOES CARBON OFFSETTING WORK?The compensation involved in the project is voluntary, starting with the calculation that measures greenhouse gas emissions related to a chosen profile type, in relation to a lifestyle or routine daily activities. The values are converted into an equivalent amount of carbon, to then be calculated in the forest area needed to absorb and store this carbon. Our project was developed in collaboration with the Green Initiative (Carbon Free) project to offset emissions and reforestation, focused on repairing atmospheric carbon, following the environmental parameters established by Resolution SMA - 030 of May 14, 2009, formulated with the aim of establishing parameters for voluntary reforestation projects like ours, in order to offset greenhouse gas emissions. This environmental reforestation focuses not only on sequestering and storing carbon from the atmosphere, but also on increasing the environmental quality of natural landscapes, maximizing benefits for biodiversity, water resources and soil conservation.
-
WHAT IS CARBON SEQUESTRATION?What we call carbon sequestration is the process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. That is, a method created to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with the aim of reducing global climate change through two main types of carbon sequestration processes: geological and biological.
-
HOW ARE EMISSIONS CALCULATED?Greenhouse gas emissions are based on an estimated database based on the GHG Protocol (Greenhouse Gases), adapted for Brazil by Fundação Getúlio Vargas, and other related scientific research.
-
HOW IS THE FUNDS GENERATED BY THE SALE OF THE NFTs OF PROJECT OS GREENIES DIVIDED?Project success is measured by impact, which is reflected in how your invested money is spent. 80% of the NFT’s value goes to the Carbon Free program of the NGO Iniciativa Verde where 100% is used to plant trees in the Atlantic Forest. The remaining 20% covers the costs of the operation – including administrative expenses, artist, staff, communication and marketing, in addition to hosting the platform. All our NFT's have an Official Certificate of Carbon Neutralization (Carbon Free) We value transparency and trust as pillars of our project, just as we value the integrity of our planet.
-
WHAT IS THE PROJECT'S IMPACT FOR THE PLANET?Many people worry and care about the future of the planet, but don't know how they can contribute in a meaningful way. We created an NFT sales platform combined with a reforestation project, which aims to plant 1 million trees in the Atlantic Forest biome, contributing significantly to the reduction of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere.< /p> Projects like reforestation all rank highly as positive in terms of solutions to significant climate change on the planet.
-
HOW CAN YOU PROVE MY IMPACT?We will keep you updated on the tree planting on our Twitter and through the NGO Iniciativa Verde website. Reforestation activities with tree plantations carried out by our partners, you can check the website of Iniciativa Verde to verify how many carbon credits were removed or avoided in the atmosphere through the total emitted by the project (you can see the total of equivalent carbon credits collected by The Greenies).
-
DO OUR CARBON FOOTPRINTS REALLY MATTER?The impact of our carbon footprint depends on a number of factors, including where we live and how we choose to live our lives. Even living simply and somewhat sustainably, there is an incalculable carbon cost to almost everything we consume and spend. We recognize that the concept of an individual carbon footprint is controversial, especially when considering that, more often than not, the majority of reported emissions come from a share of companies with ultra-high emissions. However, our project was built around the concept that even small actions can have big impacts. And we hope to inspire millions of other individuals who care about the planet and appreciate art, just as we inspire you. The individual carbon footprint can therefore be a useful avenue to help us contribute a small portion of this huge burden of responsibility.

WHAT'S A NFT?NFT is the abbreviation for "Non-Fungible Token", a digital symbol to represent a new way of own digital goods or assets, ensuring a sole ownership of a unique, one-of-a-kind product or work of art . They are sold and traded using cryptocurrency or fiat payments, corresponding with a real or digital object or representation of a piece of art, a music track, a video or an item to use in a game. In other words, NFTs are unique, non-interchangeable units of data stored on a digital ledger, called blockchain, which contains a piece of identifying information that makes them distinguishable from all other tokens. Because no tokens are the same, they cannot be traded or exchanged at an equivalent rate or broken down into smaller units like currency.
-
WHAT ARE NFTs USED FOR?NFTs were created to be used as a verifiable digital scarcity, as well as a way of digital ownership to make possible the interoperability of assets across multiple platforms by being exchanged, sold and bought. They can be used in various applications that require unique digital items such as cryptographic art and crypto-collectibles, created in this project to help on our mission of the Atlantic Forest reforestation.
-
HOW DOES CARBON OFFSET WORK?The project offset is voluntary, starting by measuring the greenhouse gas emissions related to a type of chosen profile, according to your daily activities or lifestyle. The values are converted into carbon equivalent, to then be calculated into the forest area in the Atlantic Forest necessary to absorb and store this carbon. Our project is designed in collaboration/partnership with the Iniciativa Verde project of emission offsets and forest restoration, aiming to fix atmospheric carbon, by following guidelines established by Resolution SMA - 030 of May 14, 2009, which was formulated with the objective to establish guidelines for voluntary reforestation projects, like ours, to offset greenhouse gas emissions. These forest restorations aim not only to remove and store carbon from the atmosphere, but to increase the environmental quality of rural landscapes, maximizing benefits for biodiversity, water resources and soil conservation.

WHAT IS CARBON SEQUESTRATION?Carbon sequestration is a process of capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. It is a method created to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere with the goal of reducing global climate change, through two major types of carbon sequestration processes: geological and biological.

HOW MUCH OF MY MONEY GOES INTO THE OS GREENIES PROJECT?Our success is measured in impact, and this is reflected in how we spend your money. 80% of the NFT’s value goes to funding to Iniciativa Verde NGO´s Program Carbon Free, in which 100% is destined to replant trees at the Atlantic Forest. The remaining 20% covers operational costs and everything else – such as administrative expenses, artist spent hours, communication and marketing, as well as platform hosting. All NFTs have an Official Carbon Free Certificate. We treasure transparency and trust as core values of our project as much as we treasure the integrity of our planet.
-
WHAT'S THE PROJECT IMPACT ON THE PLANET?Billions of people are concerned and care about the future of the planet, but don't know how to make a meaningful contribution. Our way to contribute was to create a platform that allows us to make some impact on a small part of the world, which has a huge role in the atmosphere as a natural biome. Besides you will be contributing and helping preserve one of the greatest forests in the world through acquiring art, and help continuing the process of carbon awareness in the process. We developed a platform to sell NFTs in conjunction to a reforestation project, within a main objective of planting 1 million trees at the Atlantic Forest, contributing in a significant way to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere. Projects like reforestation, are all ranked highly in terms of climate change solutions.
-
HOW CAN YOU PROVE MY IMPACT?We will keep you updated about the tree reforestation throughout our profile on Twitter and at Iniciativa Verde NGO´s website. The tree-planting activities carried out by our partners can be checked on the Iniciativa Verde´s website to follow up on how much carbon credits were removed or avoided from the atmosphere by the total project (you can see the overall carbon credits equivalent collected by The Greenies).
-
DO OUR CARBON FOOTPRINTS REALLY MATTER?The impact of our footprints depends on a number of factors, including where we live and how we choose to live our lives. Even living a simple, and somehow sustainable life, there's a mind-boggling carbon cost for almost anything we consume and spend your money on. We recognize that the concept of an individual carbon footprint is controversial, especially considering that most emissions reported come from just a small cabal of ultra-high emitting companies. However, our project was built around a concept that even small actions count as the most. And we are hoping to inspire others by collecting action from millions of individuals that care about the planet and appreciate art, in the same way we inspired you. In this way, the individual carbon footprint can be a useful framework to help us chip in with a small share of the load.
