To be regenerative is to step beyond sustainability, which aims to preserve what is, and instead restore and replenish even that which is destroyed. The UN has declared the 2020’s the decade of Ecosystem Restoration, and with that in mind, the team at Regenerosity has built a platform and an award system unlike anywhere in the world. Imagine a platform that rewards the whole systems projects with capital, and coaches, and mentors projects that do not pass the bar, giving them another chance. Imagine a world where there aren’t any losers and every project is a winner. This is the world Regenerosity is working to create, and with low operating overhead, it’s a perfect place to make your wealth regenerative and grow a better tomorrow. Join Ecohero Faith Flanigan, Operations Director of the Buckminster Fuller Institute in building this tomorrow.

The Buckminster Fuller Institute (www.bfi.org) is dedicated to accelerating the identification, development, and deployment of strategies that radically advance human well-being as well as the health, resilience, and regeneration of Earth's ecosystems. BFI offers innovative programs that provide comprehensive and anticipatory perspectives on the interconnected challenges and opportunities facing humanity, engaging leading thinkers and practitioners demonstrating whole systems strategies to addressing complex problems, and providing opportunities to design and test those strategies. They are in the beginning stages of building out the Co-operating Manual for Spaceship Earth toolkit/wiki, and want your help designing, architecting and strategizing on how to best maximize engagement once complete.

SunGeometry is a powerful solar-electric charger that can track the sun throughout the day and trap more solar energy than a conventional solar panel cell. The charger is constructed from small concave parabolic mirrors with tiny high-power solar cells. In direct sunlight, these solar mirrors with the high- efficiency PV cell receivers (already custom packaged and mounted) currently will generate 100% more concentrated solar power from the sun in the same exact area as a conventional solar charging panel. The reflector is more sustainable than a conventional solar panel since it can be produced from recycled plastic with a minimal amount of semiconductor material. It can be used to solar-charged batteries, electric cars, or electric boat motors in just minutes rather than hours.

The end of 80 years of hemp prohibition in the US can usher in a new age of regeneration, if done correctly. When farmed using regenerative practices, hemp can remediate and regenerate soil, and pull carbon out of the air faster than almost any other plant. Hemp can provide us with food, energy, clothing, medicine, building materials and many other benefits. And when combined with other technologies that mimic natural processes, one hemp farm could support an entire local economy. Team Regenerate with Hemp will demonstrate how to get the most out of hemp cultivation by using regenerative and cradle to cradle techniques and technologies.
