[ANN] Poseidon - Empowering people to save the planet with every purchase

[PoseidonF]

We are reaching the limit

🌎The world is reaching its limits in terms of the levels of carbon emissions it can cope with, before the climate becomes unsafe for human life.

🌡️The IPCC has provided data that shows the urgent need to keep global warming within a ‘safe’ limit of below 2°C, the maximum average temperature increase that governments believe we can ‘adapt’ to.

🍀Luckily there’s something you can do about it, with Poseidon.

The tools you need

💪We see a trend in the world in every aspect of life: people want more empowerment, they want to take control of what their doing in things like diet, carbon emissions and the environmental impact that  they’re  having with their daily life.

🤝We  feel that people want to take control over their actions but that’s not possible without the right tools.

🔧Poseidon will introduce those tools and allow people to take control of their carbon emissions.

Help the places you love

❤️Here at Poseidon, we understand that you may have an emotional connection to a place you want to help.

🤝That's why we make sure your donation doesn't just go anywhere, the Offset-AI analyses your personal preference and interest to make your carbon credits the most appropriate for you.

🗺️This way, your money only goes to the places you prioritize.

With your help, we can make a change.


📱Because part of our solution relies on blockchain, we're raising money through a series of fundraisers known as 'token sales.'

🌳The funds we raise in these token sales are used almost exclusively to invest in rainforest conservation, from which we source the carbon credits that fuel our revolutionary reduce platform.

So another climate tackling kind of ICO.

How will you describe your project Poseidon in two sentences that will convince investors to use your platform and not any other climate tackling project currently in the market?

oh there's an AMA. Might as well as this question there.

People are starting to demand more ethical products

Consumers are starting to demand more ethical products and services.

Our platform is built from the ground up to support people who make environmentally conscious choices, by putting a price on carbon and linking it to everyday products.

The amount of carbon emissions that each of these products and services carry, combined with the tools to do something about them, will empower consumers to be active participants in the fight against climate change.

Have any questions? Join our AMA on Dec 17th at r/stellar.

Helping shouldn't feel like a chore


🌎There are a lot of campaigns around the world trying to raise awareness about climate change, most of them last a day, some of them a week in the best cases.

While they gather  quite a lot of attention, they don’t stick around for too  long.

🤝Why? , Because, even though people want to help, they don’t want to change their habits.

🛒With Poseidon you don't have to! Our platform is designed to help you make small donations with every purchase you make, seamlessly and effortlessly.

Do you know where your money goes?


We’ve all made a donation at least once in our life.

But have you ever wondered what happened afterwards? Did you keep track of your contribution? Or did you even know where it went?

The reduce platform helps you do a follow up on the places that you help and tells you how much they  have  improved since you donated

Want to know how it works?

Join our AMA on r/stellar this Dec 17th at 5:00 GMT and let Laszlo Giricz, Founder & CEO of Poseidon, tell you himself.

The Footprint AI explained

🛒When we buy something, we know it has a repercussion for the environment.

📱To measure how much climate impact a purchase makes, we have developed the Footprint-AI.

🌱This AI analyzes each item you buy using the Poseidon platform to calculate and suggest how much needs to be returned in order to stay climate positive.

🤝Together, we can make a better future.

Poseidon wants to meet global standards.

🌎There are a lot of carbon projects in the world and it can be tough to know whether a specific carbon credit will provide the wanted climate action.

🌡️We have allied with Ecosphere+ to ensure that any emission reduction projects that will be added to our blockchain platform receive rigorous due diligence and are subject to ongoing monitoring to the highest global standards.

🌱This quality control is an important part of the Poseidon platform and will guarantee that carbon credits deliver the promised impact.

Retailers can now participate in climate action.

🛒With the reduce platform we can transact grams of carbon credits, allowing us to integrate the carbon market with the retail sector

🤝Once it’s fully operational, retailers will be able to offer carbon credits with every product and service to rebalance their negative climate impact or even turn them into a “climate positive” offering.

📱Customers will be able to make a purchase at a physical shop or online store and immediately contribute to the fight against climate change.

The purpose of an app

📱So, why do we need an app? Well, nowadays everyone has a screen in their pockets.

📈The intention is to make the whole experience engaging  and easy to learn, giving consumers a fun and meaningful way to interact with their purchase history.

💭Consumers will also be able to share their achievements on social media to create a network effect that is expected to encourage a positive impact.

Poseidon rewards

💪To motivate our users, every year we will select the top carbon emission reducers from everyone who has been offsetting their retail purchases using the reduce platform.

✈️ The selected winner  will be taken to a unique visit of one of the projects that we have supported as a community.

🌱This special opportunity will give these climate action champions a once in a lifetime insight into the positive impact that we , are having together.

Reverse the climate impact of the things you buy

💸 With Poseidon you can reverse the climate impact of your purchases by paying some extra pennies for everything you buy in your daily life.

🌐 The question is: Would you see this as an extra cost or is it really a discount to save the planet?

💪Think about it. How much does it cost you to go to the gym and how much to get the right treatment if you get sick?

🌡️ Our bodies and the planet work the same. Therefore, protecting the environment today will be cheaper than paying for the damages caused by climate change later.

🌎 Your body doesn’t work, if the planet doesn't work.

How holidays can have a positive impact on the planet.

🎄Happy holidays from everyone at Poseidon!🎄

💸This year, US adults estimated that they spent approximately $885 on gifts.

🌱Imagine the amount of micro donations at the end of the year  that could be crucial in rainforest restauration.

📈This time next year, the planet could be at its peak on climate positivity thanks to all the purchases made through the reduce platform of Poseidon.

Giving back to the plane

🌱One concept that we are very fond of is the one of being climate positive.

🌳At Poseidon, we see a product or service as being climate positive when at least 110% of the carbon emissions are offset using carbon credits.

🌎This way we give back more to the planet than what we take.

How do we plan to change the actual carbon markets?

🛒Poseidon is a new venture that takes the carbon market  into the blockchain.

It addresses the challenging world of carbon trading where traceability and transparency are currently non existent.

🌎We are creating an ecosystem that will introduce those elements at a speed that is currently not available anywhere else.

There is more you can do beyond being carbon neutral


👂Everybody has heard about carbon neutrality.

🌎What Poseidon wants to do is actively reverse climate change, we want to show other companies that there is something you can do beyond carbon neutrality.

🛒We have already partnered with some retailers and there are more on the way. Companies don’t work, if the planet doesn’t work.
