Zarah
Zarah received her biomimetic lion robot as a gift for Earth Day. She is learning robotics and programming, and she quickly gets to work programming the robot to mimic the movements and behavior of a lion.
She uses the robot to study lion behavior in the wild and to gather data on the state of the forest.
She also uses it as a tool to help her protect the forest from illegal logging and poaching.
She is a brave and fierce and will use all the resources at her disposal, including the biomimetic lion robot, to save the forest and bring awareness to the importance of conservation.

Naledi and Amara
Naledi and Amara built an AWE (Atmospheric Water Extractor) at their local makerspace. They have used their skills in engineering and technology to design and build the AWE from spare parts.
Naledi read about DAOs and decided to setup their WaterDAO to fund some of the more expansive parts.
They have now deployed the water extractor in their local community and are working to ensure that it is providing clean and safe water to the residents.
Using their creativity and innovation they make the water flow again in their community.
The WaterDAO collectively has decided to fund similar projects across the region.

Lumin and Aurora
Lumin and Aurora just moved into their new cozy home overlooking the Mara valley. They are working to restore the biodiversity and water retention of the Mara river through permaculture and community stewardship.
They are also working closely with the other valley inhabitants, who share their vision and are willing to help with the restoration of the Mara River.
Lumin and Aurora have created MaraDAO in order to manage the community effort to restore the river. You can join their DAO and actively participate in decision-making and management to improve the biodiversity and water retention of the Mara river.

The Sensor
Lumin and Aurora are using biosensors in the valley to gather atmospheric and biological information. The biosensors are devices that are designed to measure and collect data on various environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and the presence of certain organisms.
This information is then transmitted to a decentral Valley blockchain, which is a decentralized system of storing and sharing data, that allows the community to have access to real-time data on the state of the valley's environment.
The biosensors were funded through the use of regenerative financing, a form of financing that focuses on investing in projects that have positive social and environmental impact, in this case, the restoration of the Mara river and the improvement of the biodiversity and water retention through permaculture.

Citizen Assembly
This year's Citizens Assembly is a unique event that brings together local communities from all over the world to connect, exchange experiences, and celebrate Earth Day. The assembly is a 24-hour event that allows participants to engage in dialogue and share their perspectives on environmental issues and solutions. The goal of the assembly is to empower citizens to take an active role in shaping policies and actions that will help protect the environment.
One of the key features of this year's assembly is the ability for all participants to vote directly on an important issue: the maximum CO2 emissions for the next year. This allows citizens to have a direct say in setting the emissions limits, which will have a significant impact on climate change and the future of the planet.
During the event, there will be various activities such as panel discussions, workshops, and presentations, where participants can learn about environmental issues and innovative solutions, share their own experiences, and connect with others from around the world. The assembly is also a celebration of Earth Day, and will include activities such as music, art, and performances that highlight the beauty and importance of the natural world.

Elsa and John
Elsa and John are a couple who used to take their grandchildren to the zoo when they were small. As zoos no longer exist, their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, in return, have offered them a unique and special gift: a ride in a personal whale-airship.
The whale-airship is a new and innovative form of transportation that is powered by a combination of whale-inspired technology and renewable energy sources. It is designed to mimic the movements and behavior of a whale, and it allows people to experience the sensation of flying like a bird. The airship is built and maintained by a community, which includes one of their grandchildren and their children, who are skilled in the field of sustainable technology and engineering.
Elsa and John are delighted with the gift and are excited to experience the ride in the whale-airship. They are proud of their grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who have used their talents and skills to create something that is not only innovative and sustainable, but also environmentally friendly. They feel grateful for the opportunity to see the world from a new perspective and to experience the sensation of flying like a bird.

Earth Overshoot Day
People around the world are celebrating Earth Overshoot Day. This year, Earth Overshoot Day falls on December 28th, the closest ever to the end of the year.
As next year Overshoot Day is expected to happen after the end of the year, this might very well be the last Overshoot Day.
Well done, humanity!

Earth Overshoot Day is an annual event that marks the date when humanity's annual demand on nature exceeds what the planet can renew in that year. It is calculated by comparing humanity's ecological footprint, which includes things like carbon emissions, deforestation, and overfishing, with the planet's biocapacity, which is the ability of the earth to renew resources and absorb waste.
