Ep. 76: Isaac Thomas of Vegan Nation – How to Change the World With One App

“People around the world, any conscious consumer…regardless of where they are [can be involved]. When they are part of this ecosystem, when they’re participating, when they are actively helping to build this economy, and using all aspects of the ecosystem, from the directory to the marketplace to the wallet incentivized by the Greencoin, that is really the true building of a borderless vegan nation.”
