Guest Bio: Michael Twist

I have dedicated my life to helping build a missing piece of the puzzle, one that may, help solve climate change and close the poverty gap. We have began working to build a stable digital (similar to a stable coin) that we are planning to pay equally and directly to landowners and workers for successfully growing life into, soil, grass, waters and trees. It is our goal to pay the same amount of our Dollars for the same amount of CO2 captured into bio-diverse living environments. In other words, we are going to pay people who are successfully saving our environment anywhere on the planet at a rate that we hope makes it worth doing in any country.
