gm gm,
This week in #web3forgood: The White House talked crypto… but zoomed in on the bad, Gitcoin teamed up with ReFi orgs to offset carbon emissions from grants, The WEF discussed Web3’s climate impact, and Seed Club introduced 16 projects in their latest cohort.
Plus a mentorship opportunity, a call for speakers, and jobs at Protocol Labs, Arkive, CarbonPath, and more.
