Just by playing, users are helping fund carbon removal in three ways:\n1. **Ad views.** A portion of all ad revenue funds our carbon-removal portfolio. Just by watching an ad, you're helping fight climate change!\n2. **In-game purchases.** All in-app purchases support carbon removal & earn in-app assets and rewards that make Hazel more fun to play\n3. **web3 integration.** You can unlock & earn NFTs by playing Hazel; when you trade these NFTs, a portion of sales revenue also funds carbon removal.\n\nHazel is available **now** on [iOS](https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1577270492?pt=123315138&ct=gitcoin&mt=8) and [Android](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tech412.hazel&referrer=utm_source%3Dgitcoin%26utm_medium%3Dgitcoin-listing). \n\nHelp support our project so we can continue delivering on our aggressive product roadmap & meet the global carbon-removal challenge. \n\n\n**Background: Why Carbon Removal?**\nSociety is making great progress in decarbonizing our economy--but getting to carbon neutrality is only the first step. Even if we stopped adding carbon to the atmosphere tomorrow, it's estimated we'd still need to remove 10 **gigatonnes** of carbon from the atmosphere annually to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.\n\nFor scale, that's about 1/3 the mass of Mt. Everest that we'd need to remove **every year**.\n\n![chart showing carbon removal challenge](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/YGu_8oKfSjysMKD8y_HrJOgx5mRn7gIGzS1goOtdIzGcBlrJIvCqOl-VsUjb0DLZ6h6cHCLEFysS3NvWWD51NPPGsCx38LhGBoLBAEzQ8WSK49MWk8KgMXy9sNiKVm_F8G4E8L4hOLfkAu6jOH79wE1dNKFtCwzzXrK1eziL6j1r0gt2oZkZ_MhRkA)\n\nThat's where Hazel comes in. By unlocking consumer activity & spending, Hazel helps exponentially raise more money for carbon removal work around the world, helping society get to our removal targets quickly enough to have a meaningful impact.  \n\nBut the clock is ticking, and we have to move fast!\n\n**Roadmap**\nWe're extremely proud of the progress we've made since the round last fall. We set ourselves an aggressive timeline & roadmap to get Hazel into the market ASAP, and we succeeded! We launched Hazel in February on both Android & iOS with an early beta community of a few thousand players--and now we're excited to grow Hazel to the next level!\n\nKnow that if you support our project in the current round, we'll continue to deliver and outperform!\n\n[(You can see our original roadmap + milestones here)](https://bounties.gitcoin.co/grants/7433/gamifying-carbon-removal-for-consumers-using-web3)\n\n*Current roadmap:*\n- **April & May** -- Further game updates, including adding new island assets users can unlock, additional upgrades & customization abilities. \n- **May** -- In-game NFT minting! You'll soon be able to mint your in-game island into an NFT at a higher level, transfer it to/from your wallet and have true ownership of it! Your island will be the defacto record of all the carbon impact you've made over its lifetime in Hazel too--think of it as your running climate scorecard, which grows and evolves as you make a bigger & bigger impact on the climate. \n- **June** -- Additional gameplay refinements\n- **Q3 2023** -- Launch of Season 2 content & retirement of current Season 1 content\n\n**Why We Need Your Support**\nClimate change is a race: Each day a new Hazel feature is delayed is another day's worth of global carbon emissions that then need to be removed from the atmosphere. \n\nOur team has a proven our ability to deliver a killer product experience quickly. But we need your funding to **remain full-time on Hazel, deliver on our roadmap & help meet the global carbon-removal challenge!**\n\nHelp us build out the Hazel experience & tackle climate change!\n\nIf you ever wished you could fight climate change just by tapping a button on your phone, now you can! \n\nPlay Hazel & make an impact. \n\nThank you for your support!\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "hazelclimateapp"}
