Green Standard
The Green Standard is a new system that restores our natural world for future generations. Introducing the Green Standard Token, which is Earth’s first currency backed by protected land. That land is held in a nonprofit and owned by nature, meaning everything we do and how that land is used must serve nature. Our vision is for nature to be the world's largest landowner.
Our systems are not fit for purpose.
- Government: Short-term thinking neglects long-term challenges
- Business: Maximising ROI decimates nature
- Philanthropy: Reliant on free money and isn't scalable
But they're not going anywhere.
Answer: we must build alternative complimentary systems, like the Green Standard.
We are a community governed system based on ownership economic principles that adheres to circular economy requirements.
The Green Standard monetary system is similar to the Gold Standard where money was backed by gold. NOW money is backed by land, which must be used to serve nature.
Our company GST DAO Ltd is the sole service provider to our land trust and monetises the restoration and protection of nature. We plan to have a network of land stewards in place to operate on the land and share profit between the land stewards themselves, us and local communities.
What would Earth do?
If Earth could create new systems for humans to implement, in order to protect itself, what would it ask us to do?
Those systems would have to protect nature, sequester CO2 and be human-proof, so we don't destroy them.
Well, humans DO NOT destroy money.
So let's align the creation of money with the creation of nature.

Today Kensal Green Cemetery is at the start of an exciting new chapter in its history. After several years of hard work and collaboration with stakeholders such as Historic England, a private Bill is currently passing through parliament that will enable the General Cemetery Company to transfer the land, buildings and company into the ownership of a newly formed charity. As a result, the cemetery will be owned and operated by a modern organisation with contemporary powers and freedoms, releasing it from the constrained governance arrangements of the founding Act(s).
In parallel with the Bill making its passage through parliament, the General Cemetery Company directors are setting up a Steering Group that will form the embryo of the board of trustees of the proposed charity that will ultimately own and operate the site.
We are therefore seeking three experienced external individuals to join the Steering Group and contribute towards the establishment of the new charity and form the starting point for a larger board of trustees. It is anticipated that the Steering Group members will transition into trustees in the next 12 months or so as the charity is established.
About Kensal Green Cemetery
Kensal Green Cemetery and the company that owns and operates it - the General Cemetery Company - was established by an Act of Parliament in 1833. It is one of the ‘magnificent seven’ great Victorian London cemeteries and the only one that remains owned and operated by its original founding company.
Kensal Green Cemetery is widely regarded architecturally as the most important of the great Victorian cemeteries, containing the greatest concentration of buildings and monuments of particularly high-quality design. As the chosen location for several Victorian royal burials, Kensal Green Cemetery also became regarded as particularly desirable amongst the great and the good of Victorian and Edwardian society.
Over the last half a century the General Cemetery Company has struggled to keep up with the huge task of maintaining the site to the standard it deserves. And as time has passed, the General Cemetery Company’s 200-year-old governance framework has become increasingly anachronistic in the modern world, preventing it, for example, from applying for major capital grants or making structural changes to the way the site is owned and operated. Whilst the company is in reasonable financial shape and actively serving its community with burials and cremations, parts of the cemetery are in poor condition and it contains one of the largest concentrations of ‘Heritage At Risk’ structures in England.
Our vision
The GCC directors and inaugural members of the proposed charity have established an outline vision for the future of Kensal Green Cemetery for the next 25 years to 2050 to give the proposed charity a clear purpose. We have also started to set a series of objectives that the charity must deliver to give its role and function more definition:
The vision is to care for Kensal Green Cemetery as a place of burial, cremation and quiet contemplation for current and future generations of our diverse community. To do this we will carefully and sensitively conserve and repair our buildings and monuments, promote education about them and improve the condition of infrastructure & landscape whilst operating an active cemetery and crematorium for the public benefit.
The strategic objectives are:
1. To maintain an open and active cemetery and provide for existing and future generations of friends and families of the deceased
2. To conserve and enhance the heritage of Kensal Green Cemetery;( the densest concentration of highly listed heritage assets in England)
3. To continue to operate a high quality, financially viable cemetery and crematorium whilst diversifying income streams from other assets and activities
4. To engage and educate people about the social, economic, architectural, environmental and cultural history of the cemetery and those buried in it
5. To balance the conservation and enhancement of the historic landscape features with nature conservation to provide a green space for commemoration and the quiet enjoyment and contemplation of the community.
We are seeking three high calibre individuals to the following three roles:
1. Treasurer
2. Heritage-lead
3. Management-lead
Further details are provided in the attached information pack however it is key that all three trustee roles are filled by individuals who have board-level experience and experience of charities, and ideally charitable start-ups in particular.
We are looking for individuals who understand and will embrace our vision and who can help to shape plans for the future of Kensal Green Cemetery.
In the short-term the individuals will be members of the Steering Group. It is anticipated that these individuals will be key members of the team which will create the proposed charity and that their roles will transition to trustees during their tenure.
What you will gain
- The opportunity to shape an organisation responsible for one of the most remarkable concentrations of heritage assets in England
- Satisfaction for being responsible for a cemetery and crematorium that is deeply rooted in the lives of the West London community
- The opportunity to develop your strategic and leadership skills
- Working with a friendly and committed team of trustees and staff.
Location
All members of the Steering Group and successor trustee board will be expected to participate fully in the development of proposals for the future of Kensal Green Cemetery including at the attendance of events and relevant meetings on site in London. It is expected that there will be five formal meetings each year which will be a mixture of virtual and in person that members will be required to attend as a minimum. During the first formative year or so of the start-up phase we expect the level of time commitment will exceed that of a typical trustee position.
Terms of appointment
The three roles are voluntary and will not be remunerated however reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
The appointment is for a three-year term, which can be renewed for one further term.
About being a Trustee
It is fully expected that the individuals we are seeking for the Steering Group will transition into trustees in due course. More information is available online about general trustee responsibilities from websites such as the Charity Commission however, in summary, trustees have overall control of a charity and are responsible for making sure it’s doing what it was set up to do. Trustees have six main overarching duties:
1. To ensure their charity is carrying out its purposes for the public benefit
2. To comply with their charity’s governing document and the law
3. To act in their charity’s best interests
4. To manage your charity’s resources responsibly
5. To act with reasonable care and skill
6. To ensure their charity is accountable.

Since converting to academy status in 2013, Westfield has consistently been rated “Good” by Ofsted, most recently in November 2024.

Shannon Trust fulfils an unmet need around adult learning, supporting people who’ve fallen through the cracks in formal education.
We know a lot of people have had negative learning experiences in the past, so our programme is designed to be different, with no exams and no classrooms. Our unique, evidence-based Turning Pages reading manuals are used by thousands of learners in prisons and the community to improve reading skills.
Prison volunteers live near to their local prison so that they can visit about once a month during the working week to nurture the growth of the Shannon Trust in their prison. They help unlock the power of reading by offering advice, guidance, training and support to prison staff and prisoner mentors who help other prisoners to improve their skills 1 to 1.
We are looking for volunteers who are able to work alone, able to give a regular, reliable commitment for ideally two years and able to deliver engaging training to groups of people in prisons. Due to the nature of the role, prison security vetting will be required.
We provide training for the role via e-learning and 4 training sessions which are a mix of live, online and group training.
