San Antonio, TX / SEAPRWire / July 16, 2021 / - The Collective is a new project set to launch one of the first decentralized freelance marketplaces. The platform will be powered by The Collective Coin (TCC), which will be the primary means of paying for services in the marketplace and will provide liquidity for the ecosystem. Andrew Gago, Sal Tinajero and Brandon Ponce first met each other after they had each invested in the same NFT platform. The platform that the three invested in crashed after being hamstrung by the lackluster support and vision of its creators. Like so many other failed projects in the cryptocurrency industry, the idea was big on paper but the founders were unable to see it through and the use cases just weren't there. Frustrated by what they perceived as an all-too-common thread in crypto, Andrew, Sal and Brandon started brainstorming ideas on what needs to be different, how a platform can succeed, how to materialize the great potential they saw in DeFi technology. For a platform to really take off, they concluded, it has to have real advantages that will allow it to grow, and concrete use cases that give its currency tangible value. The result of that brainst...

SINGAPORE - Collective and committed global action is needed to overcome climate change. And, in South-east Asia, countries must work together to realise sustainability goals as the region goes about recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic, said Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu on Saturday (May 22). She also urged participants at an annual youth forum, by non-profit organisation Global Compact Network Singapore, to start engaging in sustainability activism as individuals on the ground. They can then move on to influencing social norms in the community, before joining national and international initiatives. In opening remarks delivered virtually, Ms Fu noted several ways Singapore is contributing to regional efforts, such as by convening the first special Asean ministerial meeting on climate action in 2018. Singapore has also committed $5 million over five years through the Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre - based in the Republic - to aid weather forecasting and haze monitoring. Ms Fu pointed to an Asean Power Grid being explored in the long run, which would enable electricity to be traded freely between member states - and help the region reach its aspi...
