1. What is your project? (max 100 words)

Imagine that there is a platform where you can champion an action, solicit funds and undertake actions to help reduce carbon footprints in a particular society. Well that's exactly what Sustain is for, making sure individuals can undertake actions to help save our world. While others contribute funds to an action, they will be able to know the amount of carbon they are offsetting in that locality the action will be taken in. With Sustain:

  1. And individual can champion an action in society.
  2. Upload the action on the platform by specifying the amount of carbon they want to offset.
  3. Receive funds from other individuals who will help reduce carbon footprints in that locales.
  4. Undertake the action.    Please note: add XDC testnet to metamask to be able to perform an activity on the platform.    All media are stored on IPFS.
