Topic: Can blockchain improve our environment? (Read 303 times)
I think switching from PoW to PoS coins/projects is a good start. Maybe there will be a way for blockchain to regulate our carbon footprint someday.
You could create your own token and pay people with it to get you biodegradable and nondegradable materials like plastic to your small scale factory.
Finished products from the factory can be sold around your County or internationally. You could make buyers buy the products with the token or simply make paying with it an alternative. You could get people use the token more by reducing the prices of products purchased with the token.
Of course , you need to be passionate and skilled in the field with a plan to develop and expand/grow the company in future. You could even have an open sourced cyber platform/Blockchain for the company.
The company should be as transparent as possible with Webcams positioned around important parts of the factory and can be accessed anywhere in the world. You financial records (Blockchain-based) should be transparent as well.
You could pay your workers with the token and get investors to buy some token in order to help you expand company or something.

Similar to a project I posted about, albeit different environmental issues. We are not quite there yet,but there is work is ongoing. It's just a matter of time and money (more money,less time or more time less money)
Our environment are getting worse everyday, by air pollution, water pollution, global warming, not enough of disposal landfill, more endanger species. Blockchain improved many of our life, can it also help with these problem?
Yeah blockchain can help make people become rich and you know when everybody has excess money - more than there lifetime needs. then everyone will come together and solve all these problems... A very simple example could be using blockchain based peer to peer funding by a ngo

The blockchain (bitcoin) has actually harmed the environment by using mass amounts of energy. :/
Not blockchain, Proof of Work. Emerging Proof of Stake blockchains have the potential to resolve this issue very soon.And you know what, you can say the same about computers, that they have harmed the environment by using mass amounts of energy. Let's just switch them all off. And go back to riding horses, while we're at it, and dismantle all hospital equipment. You have to compare the amount of harm to the amount of help first, not to 0.

Yes . Many Projects Created For Our Natures Now . To Monitored Many Waste Problem Because Waste Is The 1st Problem Of many Country BLOCKCHAIN can Monitored To many Solution of Air ,Water , Global Warming and Many More. I Think We need to wait More So Solve It many Problem Only Use is Blockchain Technology 😁😁
Technology has been giving the environment pollution through the use of energy, consuming that much is the most source of it.
I can't connect how can blockchain would help the environment but somehow OP is correct, it has improved our lives so there's must be a way to return that it can also improve our environment.
The only thing that I can think of as a return to the good effect that it gave to us, we have to support environmental rights group and help them with their advocacy.

I've came across a bunch of eco-friendly startups recently which is, actually, pretty awesome. This should be a new trend.
Definitely. Although at the moment there is not any significant project introducing the protection of environment, but I think the tech like logistic tracking system is a similar one. The government can check regularly on the polluted area, trace back to which factory might be producing very heavy or unnecessary pollution.
There will nothing perfect in this world, including this blockchain technology even as the most advanced technology at the moment and certainly our environment can be improved by this technology but other thing still a challenge to be improve such as electricity.
I consider blockchain to be one of the elements of democracy. In today's world, the authorities can hide from the residents truthful information about the chemical composition of air or water. If the sensors of contamination was included in the system of the blockchain with encrypted keys,the lies would become impossible.
I truly believe that blockchain technologies are able to be implemented in a lot of different fields. Moreover, cryptocurrency allows supporting new projects. I am connected to the insurance business and right now it could be dramatically changed - I found a really good ICO - Socratus. It is an insurance ecosystem which provides a digital platform with instant claim payment products for insurance companies, so any insurance company can connect the platform to become the part of Insurance Digital Ecosystem. In my opinion, it is good that they work with different kinds of insurances such as property, flight delay, cyber insurance and the core aim of the project is to help insurance companies to save their money and get their business on a new level. Like, they can help the insurance company to lower expenses from 15% to 25% on claims handling and operational expenses. Moreover, they powered by Smart-contracts & Socratus Oracles. It means that there is no more solo human decisions to pay or not to pay, no more lingering manual claims handling procedures. I think this is really cool and it seems like an innovative and demanded project.

But not necessary that the energy would case any harm to the environment and mainly it's reproducible.Mining processes located in isolated lands may cause noise pollution which can affect the natural habitats of that land but haven't heard of any such cases yet.True, but how much energy are the competitors using to power their buildings and all those office with the air-conditioning running 24/7 and also the ATM's and the data warehouses and the lights and elevators and CCTV and the energy burnt in fossil fuels to transport money from one location to the next?
That is just like saying "I don't put my garbage in the bin because industrial waste dumped into the oceans is far more worse" - Let the air conditioning run for 24/7 hours.You wouldn't mount 10 more ac's to make things better. Our environment are getting worse everyday, by air pollution, water pollution, global warming, not enough of disposal landfill, more endanger species.

Yeah they is so many way blockchain can help so... For environmental It can be difficult to track the real impact of environmental treaties, and sometimes there isn’t an incentive for governments or corporations to keep their promises. Fraud and manipulation of data are also problems in this area.
Blockchain could discourage corporations and governments from back-pedalling on their environmental promises or misreporting their progress, because the technology would allow to transparently track important environmental data, and show whether commitments were met. Once the data is entered into the public blockchain, it stays there forever.
Legal document storage on the blockchain could cut down on fraud and manipulation, for example within the global carbon credits scheme. Around 979 million is spent annually on administrate this system alone. If you have an immutable record of credits bought and sold, then there is little chance of corporations and governments looking the other way when carbon credits are bribed or sold illegal.
Blockchain might but Bitcoin won't. We really need PoS. That way we can have low power sensor for co2 water quality monitoring etc(one mine equals each a set unit of whatever your measuring) you will also need a flat mining difficulty.
That said there are some approaches for instance using carbon trading credits as money. As well as tokenising this was. So for instance rather than reducing their co2 emissions a company will pay to buy co2 allowances this could then be used to buy say sweatcoins (since if your walking your not driving and lowering emissions) or timeshare tokens or forest tokens which would be based on the amount of forest saved. There is already some projects on ridesharing that take this approach. Single drivers pay tariffs to subsidise ridesharing arrangements. When you give someone a lift you earn rideshare tokens which you can use to buy rideshare.

I agree with the first sentence. Hopefully bitcoin will become something like gold today
Many other cryptos will fail, any only few will stay probably. Bitcoin with such volatility can not be in use IMO. Regulations are needed
Blockchain technology will ease a lot of stress and make things easier in the environment. Too many upcoming projects are already delving into blockchain and are using it to solve the society and enviroment problems. There is enough yet to be offered in blockchain. Financial inclusion are already being solved using blockchain. This technology is still at infancy so more are yet to come.

Yes, like how it is recommended to have a full monitoring on any raw material / ingredients for food, this could first ensure that during the first process, the quality is already controlled and tried the minimize the waste it made because it is being monitored.
In case a good environmentally-oriented ICO is based on blockchain, e.g. Nagricoin, which promotes organic farming and healthy eating.
