At the March DWeb Meetup, we join hands with Mozfest 2022 to tackle this big question with Kelsey Breseman, Civic Science Fellow at the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative, where she works on environmental accountability, data ownership models, and intentional community.
Kelsey has written this thought-provoking essay (https://blog.archive.org/2021/09/20/ecological-awareness-for-the-decentralized-web/) on ecological awareness, one of the core principles of the DWeb. (See https://getdweb.net/principles.) Together, we’ll examine the assumptions and truths about energy use and blockchains, NFTs, and how the decentralized web can solve some problems, while perhaps deepening others.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Kelsey Breseman is a Rita Allen Civic Science Fellow at the Environmental Data and Governance Initiative, where she works on environmental accountability, data ownership models, and intentional community. Kelsey has founded and managed tech startups, and has a history of activist leadership for progressive causes.
