We had an incredible time at the second Street Soirée of the year. Everyone who used toco directly supported the removal of 31 tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere in just one evening, the same amount it would take 1240 trees to remove in a whole year. This is what meaningful climate action looks like.

Massive shoutout to every single person who used Toco to pay for their wine tastings at last week’s Street Soirée. Just by switching out your tokens for Toco, you created huge impact in reducing atmospheric carbon - 63 tonnes of it to be exact! Can’t wait to see you at the next one, let’s keep showing the world that the community of Stellies can band together and lead the charge in taking positive climate action.

Stellenbosch – you achieved something remarkable! At the Street Soirée this week, you used Toco to remove 63 tonnes of CO2 in just one evening – the same amount it would take 2 520 trees to remove over the period of one whole year. This is tangible climate action that YOU have taken. This is what change looks like.

We had a blast at the recent Stellenbosch Street Soiree and it certainly lived up to its reputation! From the lively atmosphere of music, laughter and great conversations to the unbeatable selection of wines and delicious street food, this event was nothing short of incredible. We loved meeting up with old friends and making new ones, while we all enjoyed the best that Stellenbosch has to offer.

Yesterday at a training session with @casacerveza_stellenbosch , Chief asked the question “Where does change begin?” The simple answer is that it begins with these champions in our community who will be actively helping to remove carbon from the atmosphere! “Imagine if combating climate change was as simple as answering yes to the question - would you like to pay in toco?” We are very excited to work together with Casa and the Stellenbosch community to answer this question!

As we start to wrap our heads around what toco is, it’s important to understand where and how the currency is created. We had some great questions from our previous video which helps us make sure we are all on the same page! We have an awesome video about carbon credits in the works!

We know that what’s happening at toco is new, and we have been getting some great questions since our launch took place! As our community grows we ask that you keep asking ALL the questions, so that we can make sure with videos like these, that we’re on the same page, and ultimately moving in the same direction!

Today we celebrate a week since The Carbon Reserve minted their first tocos! This means that for seven days now, money has existed that is directly removing carbon from the atmosphere 🌍. Our first credits were purchased from The Grootbos Carbon Project in the Overberg Municipality, Western Cape, South Africa.

We just had to share! It is quite fitting that at our family and friends launch event at @thewineglass_stellenbosch, the first purchase using toco will forever be a bottle of Stellenbosch based wine. Paid for by sending “money as tonnes of carbon” directly from Ev’s phone.

Our friends and family launch! Once again we’d like to thank all of our friends and family for attending our first event and being the first people to download the app and hold tonnes of carbon on their phones. It has been incredible to see the many months of hard work come to light and we feel privileged to share our purpose with all of you. You can change the world with toco!

Another amazing first for the toco community today. After a successful family and friends launch event yesterday evening, 50 of our friends and family where given toco by us and asked to start spending and testing with our 13 merchant partners. This video which we presented, asks the question - what if removing carbon from the atmosphere was as easy as paying for coffee? Today our community was able to do exactly that for the first time. Pay for food, drinks and services in “money as tonnes of carbon”. We would like to thank those of you who came, and are super excited about what’s to come in the next few months.

Today is a special day for our toco community. The toco blockchain was officially switched on. This means that for perpetuity, every six seconds, a block allowing tonnes of carbon offset to be sent and received will be etched into the blockchain. We can finally start answering the question that toco started asking more than a year ago. “What if removing carbon from the atmosphere was as easy as paying for a cup of coffee?”
