    🌳Our Endangered Oxygen Supply - Destruction in the Amazon and Tentree's Mission

    We know what the Amazon is, but do we know how vital it is to our survival? The Amazon provides 6% of our global oxygen supply and 10% of the planet's biodiversity. It is the largest rainforest in the world spanning more than 2 million square miles with over 400 billion trees. Unfortunately, both Brazilian politicians and industries like soy and beef are prioritizing economic value over the planet's health, causing mass deforestation and forest fires. Companies like Tentree and Planterra recognize the dangerous levels of greenhouse gas emissions being released into the atmosphere, and have decided to contribute by planting trees and donating portions of sales to environmental charities. These initiatives illustrate that businesses can still achieve profits while fulfilling a social purpose.

    💧Big Fish in a Smaller Pond - Earth's Water Crisis and Just Water's Sustainable Solution

    As we know, climate change is changing our planet to a dangerous extent. While focusing so much on global warming, we may have forgotten about something that would affect us a whole lot sooner. Humanity is facing water shortages across the globe, with 2.7 billion people finding water scarce during at least one month of the year. It's clear we're in a crisis, and unfortunately, it only seems to be getting worse.  Cities that have gone through the worst of droughts like South Africa have become increasingly wise in their use of water. There's also dynamic companies like Just Water who recognize the immediate threat facing us and are choosing to source water sustainably and improve affected communities at the same time.

    ⛏21st Century Gold Rush - Bitcoin and Cyptocurrencies' Environmental Impact

    With the recent explosion of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the public is only just learning about these coins' carbon footprint. Mining is the process by which new Bitcoins or other cyrptocurrencies are entered into circulation. This process requires extensive computational power, and in turn, substantial electricity. Much of this electricity is generated unsustainably as the majority of Bitcoin is mined in countries that are not optimizing renewable energy sources.  Over the next 30 years, Bitcoin mining alone is expected to warm the planet by 2 degrees Celcius. This is obviously taking a huge toll on the planet and some potential solutions include alternating the Bitcoin's consensus algorithm and categorical bans from regulators.
