Thank you for the offer.

Sadly I do believe that the power consumption of blockchain / crypto technologies is, at this step, pretty bad compared to what they can solve.

Hi, sorry for being late.

At the moment I live in México / USA.

I would love to provide feedback to help standarize and design protocols.

This is more like what I meant.

I follow most, if not every, advise about lifestyle, but I also belive that is not enough.

My current work consist in helping a company get more money, and while there's nothing wrong with that I would certainly preffer to work on something that along making profit helps fight climate change.

Will read both links given, thank you.

I already do that, I travel only once every 2 years or so. I'd be able to do it way more frequently, but preffer not to.

I didn't know about their 50% renewables, but I do host everything (and the company I work for as well) in AWS.

Thanks.

This is exactly why I stopped following the crypto news.

I got interested a lot about BTC at the beginning, but then after reading reports about electricity consumption decided to not be part of that.

I think the downside doesn't come from the blockchain technology as-is, but the mining part of cryptocurrency.

Thank you for your advice.

We're already doing that. Not gonna lie, we love meat, but understand it isn't the best choice for the planet, so far we've reduced our meat consumption about 50%.

This is an amazing resource, I didn't know about it.

Thank you for sharing it, I'm reading it already.

This sounds pretty nice, sadly the city were I live has no trains, cars only.

Thank you for the suggestion.
