Using Blockchain to Showcase Our Due Diligence
At Proper Good Vibes, we’re dedicated to environmental stewardship, not just as a business practice but as a deep-rooted commitment to the land we care for. As custodians, we have a responsibility to protect and preserve this space, which includes a certified organic food forest that serves as a source of nourishment, education, and community connection. Recently, we took an important step in this journey by requesting a risk assessment from Mackay Regional Council regarding a gazetted road that crosses our land, ensuring it aligns with our custodial duties.
To uphold transparency in our actions, we’ve chosen to document this request on blockchain as an irrefutable proof of due diligence. This approach ensures that our commitment to safeguarding this land is visible, verifiable, and permanent.
Why Blockchain Matters for Environmental Custodianship
Blockchain technology allows us to capture, timestamp, and permanently store our actions as caretakers of this land. By recording our email request to the council on the blockchain, we create a lasting, tamper-proof record of our efforts to assess the road’s impact on this environment and take proactive steps toward preservation.
Our Process: Ensuring Accountability through Blockchain
-
Crafting the Request: In our email to Mackay Council, we highlighted concerns about traffic, environmental impacts, and liability, seeking a risk assessment for the gazetted road. This request is part of our commitment to protect the forest’s organic integrity and maintain safe conditions for everyone who works with us, visits, or connects with this land.
-
Blockchain Time-stamping: After sending the email, we recorded and timestamped the communication on a blockchain platform. This serves as a verifiable, permanent record of our actions and aligns with our goal of transparency as stewards of the environment.
-
Public Proof of Custodial Responsibility: By sharing this blockchain record, we open our actions to scrutiny and affirm our role as responsible custodians. This transparency invites stakeholders, community members, and regulatory bodies to see our dedication to thoughtful, proactive land management.
Benefits of Blockchain for Custodianship and Accountability
-
Permanent Record: With blockchain, we have an immutable record of our efforts. This can serve us in future audits or as evidence in compliance discussions, assuring that our actions stand the test of time.
-
Enhanced Trust: Through this transparency, we strengthen trust within the community and with our partners, showing that we honor our responsibilities not through words but through actions documented for anyone to see.
-
Ease of Verification: Blockchain allows stakeholders to easily verify our custodial actions without question. This aligns with our commitment to integrity and reinforces our role as transparent, reliable caretakers.
A Future for Custodial Accountability through Blockchain
Our decision to log this council request on the blockchain reflects our commitment as custodians to not only fulfill but document our responsibilities to the land. We believe that this approach will become a powerful standard in environmental responsibility, allowing others to verify and trust in an organization’s commitment to land stewardship.
With this permanent record of our council request, we demonstrate not just a commitment to responsible land management but a model of transparency for others committed to the Earth and its natural resources. As custodians, our actions today are an investment in the land’s future—and by sharing them openly, we hope to inspire greater accountability in environmental care.
