doing a lil Nouns governance. looking at https://nouns.wtf/vote/683 Lots to love about this prop, except the ultimate impact economics. I don't see how this is ever going to be an efficient way to get glasses to kids in need. I get it's R&D, but paint me a picture of the future where this isn't $65 per head per examination. and the total price is competetive. Also how it get's long term funds. I havn;t read the whole prop in detail, so maybe I missed this. Love the underlying concept, want it to be sustainable. ⌐◧-◧ @0xsatori @marinioac @preciousnoggles

Hi @chriscocreated, thanks so much for the questions! I really appreciate it. Here are my answers, as outlined in the proposal: 1) How will this be an efficient way to provide glasses for kids? For the Visão do Bem NGO, they already have machines for eye exams, but having a mobile van will speed up the process, allowing them to increase their reach from 3,000 to 15,000 kids per year. For Nouns, the frame mold will be licensed under CC-by-SA, meaning other Precious Plastic workshops globally can replicate the frames with "Made by Nouns" engraved. PreciousPlastic.com is a global community with over 100k people and shops worldwide. Since the Circle film release (https://www.circle.com/pt-br/stories/beyond-borders-usdc-a-global-community), I've received requests from companies in Africa to produce these kids' frames. This project will spread the Nouns brand globally through recycled plastic prescription glasses for kids. more on the next comment:

continuation: 2) How will it cost less than $65 per pair of glasses? For the NGO, producing their own recycled frames will significantly lower costs. However, the most expensive parts remain the lenses and the doctor's fees. By partnering with other brands to offset these costs, we can make this sustainable. The mobile van, equipped to conduct exams and produce recycled frames, will attract sponsors who can feature their branding on the van while keeping the Noggles prominently displayed on both sides. This ensures that Nouns is always associated with the project. -- Did I answer all your questions? If you have any more, feel free to ask! I've discussed this proposal quite a bit on Nouncil, and I'll be on The Noun Square tonight and tomorrow night to address any additional questions you might have.
