Future Thinkers is dropping an NFT to fund a Smart Village in BC Canada

Future Thinkers is dropping an NFT to fund a Smart Village in BC Canada We’re Fundraising to Purchase the Smart Village Property We’re building our first Smart Village in British Columbia, Canada and we’re fundraising to complete the property purchase by June 18th. On June 1st 2021, we’re dropping our first NFT, called the SMART VILLAGE token. By purchasing the NFT, you are directly contributing to bringing the village into reality. Smart Villages can become wellsprings for all sorts of innovations and opportunities in regenerative living, building materials, affordable housing, energy, food & goods production, technologies, business ventures, culture, art, governance models, Earth regeneration and education. The village is the keystone building block of humanity. It is our best bet at regenerating our bioregions, building fundamental human health into our culture, and creating a “Game B” human civilization. The NFT: LIMITED EDITION COLLECTIBLE – This is our very first NFT. It’s a limited edition, collectible art piece. It’s also a badge to show off your contribution to the Smart Village and the global regenerative movement. TREES & REGENERATION – For every NFT sold, we will plant a tree or another type of plant to regenerate the village and surrounding forest. LEARNING PORTAL – The NFT gives access to a private online group that will be the first place we will share our learnings from Smart Village experiments.
