# Quick correction on the Final Update ⌐◨-◨
Two small fixes to the numbers we posted:
- The plastic recycled to produce the frames was **~15kg**, not 15 tons. Our bad — the impact is real, the zero was not.
- The correct Instagram for our audiovisual team Berro Inc. is [@berro.inc](https://www.instagram.com/berro.inc/) — updated across all mentions.
Thanks for keeping us honest, Nouns. 🙏

# Final Update | Prop 685 – Good Noggles: Prescription Precious Noggles for Kids
### Recicla Visão — Project Complete ⌐◨-◨
**We did it.** Prop 685 is officially complete. Here's what we delivered:
### **Key Deliverables**
- **1,005 prescription glasses produced and donated**: we exceeded the original goal of 1,000 pairs. Each frame was made from recycled plastic, designed in three sizes for kids aged 8–14, with lenses by EssilorLuxottica and OBE spring hinges for durability.
- **3,000+ children impacted**: through eye screenings, exams, glasses distribution, and recycling workshops across Rio de Janeiro's most vulnerable communities.
- **22 institutions across 19 territories** reached: including favelas, quilombos, public schools, and NGOs in communities like Complexo do Alemão, Rocinha, Morro do 18, Duque de Caxias, and one territory in Saquarema. We started with 10 NGOs and nearly doubled that.
- **Mobile clinic van fully operational**: the Renault van was successfully refurbished into a traveling ophthalmology clinic and recycling station, reaching communities that have no access to eye care through traditional means.
- **~2,000 kids participated in recycling workshops**: run by [Casa Plástica](https://www.instagram.com/projetocasaplastica/), the workshops taught kids about plastic waste, circular economy, and how a pair of recycled glasses is born. That's double our original goal of 1,000 children.
- **~15 tons of plastic recycled** to produce the frames.
- **39 kids referred for specialized care**: beyond corrective lenses, we identified and referred cases of suspected glaucoma, keratoconus, retinal conditions, and other serious issues that would have gone undetected.
- **Press coverage delivered**: including a [**10 minute feature on RJTV**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5wpeWES8v8), a live news program of Globo, Brazil's largest broadcast network. Full press report available at the [Looker Studio press dashboard](https://lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/848cce5f-799f-488c-b834-035bf2809ab7/page/p_tst03j8ind).
- **12 reels + 30 photo albums** produced by [Berro Inc.](https://www.instagram.com/berroinc.cc/), documenting every visit, every pair of glasses, every child.
---
### **One Thing Still in the Oven 🎬**
The **Mini Documentary** is in final production and will be released by **end of April or May at the latest**. It tells the full story from the first sketches of the frame design to the last pair of glasses handed to a kid in a favela. This will be shared across all channels including Warpcast, YouTube, and Instagram.
---
### **What Happens Next**
The project doesn't stop here. The team is continuing independently running workshops and maintaining the equipment so production keeps going on its own steam. Recicla Visão is now a living, breathing operation.
On a personal note: [@marinioac](https://instagram.com/mari.salles_) is expecting a baby and will be stepping back to focus on motherhood for a while. But Precious Noggles and Recicla Visão production will keep running in parallel with Lil B (Lil Nick) -> because good things don't pause. 🍼⌐◨-◨

### **Thank You, Nouns DAO**
This prop was proof that Nouns can fund something that goes beyond the internet: a mobile clinic driving through favelas, handing recycled glasses to kids who've never had an eye exam in their lives. More than half of the children we saw needed vision correction. Many would have fallen further behind in school. Some had conditions heading toward irreversible vision loss that no one had caught.
Nouns made that visible. Literally.
**The mini-doc is coming. Stay tuned. ⌐◨-◨**

# **Prop 685 Update #2 – Why is Precious Noggles on Flows?**
### **How Much Is Precious Noggles Receiving from Prop 685 and for What?**
For 11 months of project management, **this is PN’s budget to execute the design and production of 1,000 recycled prescription glasses for kids, plus the design and production of a mobile clinic van and much more than recycled plastic noggles!**
#### **11-Month Budget Breakdown:**
- **Expenses covered by Prop 685:** $81,894.61
- **Labor to manage Prop 685 execution:** $27,220.00 ($2,474.54/month for the team)
- **Total:** **$120,026.07**
For full budget details, check the breakdown below or click [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15569pJVmRgDXOg1KoU9Q-poMZLvVGZOs/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=102693853879999385413&rtpof=true&sd=true).
---
### **Why Does Precious Noggles Need Flows Contribution?**
The recycled plastic noggles production and Prop 685 have different financial structures.
Prop 685 only includes the purchase of **20 Noggles**, and by the end of its execution, this number might be even lower.
To **continue producing recycled plastic Noggles**, PN needs funding for **maintenance and new machines**. Additionally, @marinioac has personally invested thousands of dollars in PN’s sales and development and hasn’t received payment for managing PN in the last **four months**.
Most recycled plastic product companies require **far more than just a few hundred dollars** to sustain operations. However, since PN produces Noggles **on demand**, the cost to keep it running is relatively low.
### **How Flows Helps PN**
**Flows income will keep improving production efficiency and boosting sales**, ensuring the project's sustainability.

I also had the chance to meet Jesse Weisse, Marketing Senior Director at Circle (USDC), to discuss a **part 2 video** about this prop ([reference](https://www.circle.com/pt-br/stories/beyond-borders-usdc-a-global-community)):
- Held an in-person team kick-off meeting to align the project’s naming, the van illustration, exams schedules and glasses production schedules. To also decide on merch and plan the recycling workshop for the children:
---
### **We Also:**
- Onboarded the optics NGO *Visão do Bem* and the film crew *Berro* to Web3 and Nouns DAO.

Hi everyone,
After careful consideration, I’ve decided to cancel this proposal and reallocate the funds from the international press media budget in Prop 685 (the prescription glasses prop). Things moved quickly, and I didn’t have the opportunity to consider this option earlier.
While this is a valuable international marketing opportunity, I believe redirecting the funds will ultimately provide more value to the DAO. I am confident that this investment will pay off in the long run and help avoid any potential friction with the community.
I appreciate your understanding and support as we continue working toward our shared goals.

### A few reactions
and much more...
*Thanks for reading!*
@0xc2d4...e413
Thanks for your vote and feedback! Just to be clear, the prescription glasses for kids are gonna be regular ergonomics glasses. The connection to Precious Noggles is that they are gonna be made of recycled plastic, have the same quality standards, will be managed by the same team and the project will be CC-by-SA like Precious Noggles, so the Precious Plastic community can download and replicate the project, just like this: https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/nouns-sunglasses-mould
>
>
> I love noggles but if they’re not a practical shape for kids who have these as their only prescription glasses I’m all for changing the design so they are comfortable and cool. I trust in your judgment in either case. Good luck and thanks!

The costs for this trip were not anticipated in Prop 685 because this marketing opportunity arose as a direct result of its approval and, therefore, could not have been included when the proposal was initially submitted.

@0x65A3...1D63
Thank you so much for your vote and feedback! I understand the view of this proposal as a charity action, but it’s truly much more than that. The goal here is to elevate the Nouns brand globally by producing recycled plastic frames for kids that can be used as both prescription and sunglasses. Precious Noggles has already reached an international audience, especially with Circle’s film, and we’re receiving interest from places all over the world.
This proposal isn’t about one-off charity; it’s a high-impact initiative addressing global needs while positioning Nouns as a significant force for change. You voted for Duna, which turns Nouns DAO into a charitable NGO. My proposal aligns perfectly with Duna's mission and goes well beyond charity alone. I’d love for you to take a closer look, as it truly embodies Nouns’ potential as a globally impactful DAO and brings strong impact data for future investors.

Thanks Stripymofo for your feedback and vote! Joshua has been to Nouncil a couple of times to give updates about prop #104. They are aiming to launch next year. Their proposal is different than ours. They scan each child’s face, 3D print custom-fitted frames, and produce them directly on the van. But I guess only Josh to explain more about his prop.

@0xFC53...6183
Thank you, Mike, for the feedback and vote! The first prop that caught my eye about Nouns was prop #12 for sure. I feel like Nouns is truly about spreading good ideas worldwide. Having an exam van in Brazil will reach countless kids in need from the slums who are dropping out of school simply because they can’t see well enough to read. While this proposal draws inspiration from #12, it’s quite unique. We’re aiming to create recycled frames and make them open-source for distribution within the Precious Plastic community.

## What is it?
[Precious Noggles](https://www.preciousplastic.com/noggles), created from a [proposal approved by Nouns DCS](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ILFm8-OjhbkcvmbVbh7Zitq94T__jBch4J4zz1iXjs0/edit?usp=sharing), aims to connect the Nouns community with [Precious Plastic](https://www.instagram.com/realpreciousplastic/) community, **both CC0 brands** focused on innovation and high impact. After the success of the first initiative, [Precious Noggles](https://warpcast.com/preciousnoggles) is launching a more ambitious project: a mobile clinic equipped with a recycling station capable of producing eyeglass frames made from recycled plastic. The long-term goal of this project is to assist 15,000 vulnerable children in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. According to the Brazilian Council of Ophthalmology (CBO), approximately 19% of children between 6 months and 15 years of age experience some form of vision impairment, but 80% of school-age children have never had an eye exam. Additionally, the initiative will provide education on recycling in areas lacking waste management infrastructure, creating a positive and lasting impact on socially vulnerable communities.
I, [Marinioac](https://x.com/marinioac), founder of [Precious Noggles](http://x.com/preciousnoggles), along with [Ilustradora](https://x.com/ilustradoraeth), the [NGO Visão do Bem](https://www.instagram.com/socialvisaodobem), [Casa Plástica](https://www.instagram.com/projetocasaplastica/), [Precious Plastic Cotia](https://www.instagram.com/preciousplastic.cotiabr/), [Easymoulds](https://www.instagram.com/easymoulds/), [Virei Notícia](https://www.instagram.com/vireinoticia/), and [Berro.inc](http://berro.inc/), are committed to carrying out a creative and high-impact project, fully aligned with the values of the Nouns community: Sub culture creative ideas. Our focus is on promoting education, recycling, inclusion, accessibility, and health, while also aiming for a global reach. The proposal seeks to collaborate with open source projects, enabling the Precious Plastic community to replicate these initiatives worldwide, thereby amplifying the impact of Nouns.
> Precious Plastic community map
### Short-term Deliverables:
- Direct impact on 3,000 children from 10 NGOs in Rio de Janeiro.
- Exposure in major national and international media, along with a strategic presence in Web3 platforms and events, ensuring broad visibility and global impact.
- Release of mini-documentaries and generation of organic media content on the social channels of Good Noggles, Precious Noggles, and Precious Plastic, ensuring ongoing engagement and visibility throughout the project's development.
### Long-term Deliverables:
- A mobile clinic and recycling educational station with the Noggles permanently displayed, designed to serve 15,000 children annually across Brazil.
- The children's eyeglass model will feature "Noggles by Nouns" on its temples permanently and be licensed under CC-BY-SA. It will be [globally replicated by the Precious Plastic community](https://community.preciousplastic.com/how-to/nouns-sunglasses-mould), helping to promote the Nouns brand while expanding its social and environmental impact worldwide.
- It will recycle 700 kg of plastic annually, contributing significantly to waste reduction and promoting a sustainable circular economy.
## Why will Nouns benefit from this project?
This project aligns with Nouns' core values of sub culture creative ideas while directly contributing to several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In addition to making a tangible impact in vulnerable communities, the project will boost the visibility and value of the Nouns brand, **attracting new members and investors** by demonstrating a clear commitment to global social and environmental causes.
### Social and Environmental Impact Aligned with SDGs
**SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being):** Providing recycled eyeglasses to children directly improves their quality of life and academic performance, positively impacting the visual health of vulnerable populations.
**SDG 4 (Quality Education):** The eyeglasses help children learn better, and the project also offers educational workshops on recycling and sustainability, further promoting learning and environmental awareness.
**SDG 5 & 10 (Gender Equality & Reduced Inequalities):** The project ensures equal access to visual healthcare, regardless of gender or social background, contributing to the reduction of inequalities.
**SDG 11 & 12 (Sustainable Cities & Communities & Responsible Consumption and Production):** The production of recycled plastic eyeglass frames encourages a circular economy and promotes sustainable consumption practices, establishing a globally replicable model.
### Brand Growth and Market Value
Beyond its social impact, the project strengthens the Nouns brand by beeing open source and replicating the model globally, with eyeglass frames featuring the Noggles and the inscriptions "Noggles by Nouns" and "100% Recycled Plastic" on the temples. The children's eyeglasses, versatile for both prescription and sunglasses, enhance the project's relevance in various contexts. The replicability ensures ongoing, global visibility and value for the Nouns community forever.
### Long-term Impact – Mobile Clinic and Recycling Station
The mobile clinic, equipped to perform eye exams and outfitted with modular recycling machines, will have the capacity to serve 15,000 children annually across various regions of Brazil. The project merges visual health and environmental education while promoting the Nouns brand, with Noggles prominently displayed on the eyeglass frames and the sides of the clinic forever. Even with future sponsors, Noggles will remain visible, linking the brand to a lasting and global social impact forever.
### Strategic Media Exposure
The project will receive wide coverage from major media outlets such as Globo and CNN, ensuring broad visibility for the Nouns brand. A feature on Fantástico, Globo’s tv show, with an audience of 40 million viewers, will provide credibility and reach. In addition, mini-documentaries on social media and Web3 platforms like Instagram, Warpcast, and YouTube will keep the project in the spotlight, generating buzz and attracting new investors and members to Nouns.
### Attracting New Members and Investors
The global replicability of the project allows recycled plastic eyeglass frames to be produced anywhere in the world, spreading the Nouns brand to unexpected regions. This creates opportunities for new members to engage with the Nouns community, increasing its market value and cementing its reputation as a global brand that produces great ideias for significant social impact.

This creates a more fun and inclusive process, ensuring each pair of glasses is unique and tailored to the child’s preferences.
The lenses will be supplied by EssilorLuxottica, a world leader in optical innovation, known for high-quality lenses and cutting-edge technology.
The glasses’ packaging will be made from recycled fabric, featuring personalized Noggles-branded cloths to encourage proper eyewear care and creativity.
The OBE spring hinges ensure comfort and durability, extending the longevity of the frames.
### Mobile Clinic and Recycling Station
The mobile clinic, in addition to offering ophthalmological exams, will function as a sustainable production center, equipped with modular recycling machines to produce eyeglass frames on-site. This station will also host interactive recycling workshops with the children, creating an engaging and educational experience. In the short term, we aim to serve 3,000 children and distribute 1,000 pairs of glasses across 10 NGOs in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
### Workshops
In the Casa Plástica workshop for Noggles do Bem, “PLASTIC: From Waste to Glasses,” 10 selected communities will have the chance to participate in a fun, interactive 3-hour experience learning how discarded plastic from their own homes can be transformed into new good quality and usefull products—such as a pair of glasses!
The workshop begins with an introduction to the environmental impact of plastic waste and the importance of recycling. Following this, we will engage in a dynamic activity to identify different types of plastics commonly found in the market, especially those most used and frequently discarded. Next, children will observe firsthand how plastic is shredded and creatively repurposed. This hands-on activity aims to raise awareness in a playful and dynamic way, encouraging creativity and demonstrating how small changes, starting at home, can contribute to a much more sustainable future.

### Choice of Materials for the Glasses
This project uses recycled polypropylene (PP), commonly found in yogurt pots, bottle caps, and food trays. PP is lightweight, impact-resistant, and flexible, making it ideal for durable and comfortable frames. The use of recycled PP supports the circular economy, reducing plastic waste. Additionally, recycling allows for frames to be produced on demand, minimizing excess waste while letting children choose their preferred colors for personalization. This creates a more sustainable and inclusive process, ensuring each pair of glasses is unique and tailored to the child’s preferences.
The lenses will be supplied by EssilorLuxottica, a world leader in optical innovation, known for high-quality lenses and cutting-edge technology.
The glasses’ packaging will be made from recycled fabric, featuring personalized Noggles-branded cloths to encourage proper eyewear care and creativity. The OBE spring hinges ensure comfort and durability, extending the longevity of the frames.
### Mobile Clinic and Recycling Station
The mobile clinic, in addition to offering ophthalmological exams, will function as a sustainable production center, equipped with modular recycling machines to produce eyeglass frames on-site. This station will also host interactive recycling workshops with the children, creating an engaging and educational experience. In the short term, we aim to serve 3,000 children and distribute 1,000 pairs of glasses across 10 NGOs in Rio de Janeiro.
### Workshops
In the Casa Plástica workshop for Noggles do Bem: “PLASTIC: From Waste to Glasses,” selected communities will have the chance to participate in a fun, interactive 3-hour experience learning how discarded plastic from their own homes can be transformed into new products—including a pair of glasses!
The workshop begins with an introduction to the environmental impact of plastic waste and the importance of recycling. Following this, we will engage in a dynamic activity to identify different types of plastics commonly found in the market, especially those most used and frequently discarded. Next, children will observe firsthand how plastic is shredded and creatively repurposed. This hands-on activity aims to raise awareness in a playful and dynamic way, encouraging creativity and demonstrating how small changes, starting at home, can contribute to a much more sustainable future.
