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.

Creating a Zero Waste World — Circular Economy Solutions for People and Businesses.
In Brazil, less than 4% of solid waste is recycled, and organic waste (50% of the total) is rarely processed properly.
Our target audience (individuals) faces several challenges: they want to compost at home but often lack the space or time to do so. They also want assurance that their recyclable waste is indeed being recycled.
For our corporate clients (restaurants, offices, factories, schools, and stores), we offer a punctual, responsible, and cost-effective service for managing organic and recyclable waste.
On the other hand, event organizers don’t want to deal with cleaning staff hired exclusively for the event, with the risk of no-shows. Moreover, they aim to provide an eco-friendly destination for event waste, both for marketing and brand positioning purposes and to comply with regulations.
Urban gardens and waste pickers' cooperatives struggle with economic sustainability.
Urban gardens struggle to market the vegetables they produce.
We offer three types of services:
- Selective collection of recyclable and organic waste for individuals living in houses or apartments. These customers aim to adopt sustainable practices, such as composting, but often face time and space constraints. For this reason, they subscribe to a monthly waste collection service.
- Selective collection of recyclable and organic waste for businesses, covering a wide range of establishments such as restaurants, cafés, bakeries, offices, factories, schools, stores, among others.
- Waste management and cleaning for events of various sizes. By paying for every kilogram of organic waste the urban gardens receive for composting, we increase their income while reducing their fertilizer costs. We sell the compost produced by our urban garden partners to our clients, creating a new revenue stream for them. Soon, we will also sell the vegetables grown by our urban garden partners, helping them market their products more effectively. By donating recyclable packaging to waste pickers cooperatives, we help them boost their earnings. Our clients are passionate about the positive change we create in their lives and the excellent experience we provide with our operations.
