the way I see it, complaining about the environmental impact of blockchain is a bit like complaining that a early adopter's toyota prius' car has more of an environmental impact. Sure, that's strictly speaking true, but you are helping make a point - at expense to you - building investment in infrastructure that someday result in a vehicle that IS less of an impact. In the ideal case (which I am not necessarily optimistic will happen) we have a global currency that respects that there are finite resources on the planet, and doesn't require a belligerent military that goes around littering depleted uranium around the world to back its value.
(fwiw, I'm working towards getting solar on my house and mining with my excess electricity)
