A Year in ReFi: 2022, with jE, Simar & Frens

jE and Simar gratefully reflect on 2022, and what a year it has been!In both meeting and working in collaboration with brilliant and ambitious individuals that they have met along the way, uniting with a single purpose, to build a better future for all of nature and humankind, using the emerging tools at the intersection of climate & Web3. Helena from Spirals and Brian from LOA LABS jump on to have a catch up too! Helena Merk CEO at Spirals "Spirals makes it easy for any money to work towards climate impact. Rather than holding ETH, you can now hold Green ETH, and rather than holding CELO, you can hold Green CELO." https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenamerk/ Brian Truax, CSPO at LOA LABS "Here you are today, staring down the barrel of 2023.
