It's disappointing that the WWF ever decided to support the "planet-incinerating Ponzi grifters" by getting involved in the NFT market. On the other hand, this is far from the worst thing the WWF has ever done: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tomwarren/wwf-world-wide-fund-nature-parks-torture-death https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/tomwarren/wwf-world-wid... To quote the New Statesman article about this: > Many on social media immediately pointed out that blockchain technology is at odds with conservation ideals since it requires vast amounts of energy to run, and contributes to worsening climate change. [...] > It is true that Polygon is environmentally friendly relative to older blockchain platforms such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. [... But] it is not yet possible to purchase a WWF NFT without also using the older Ethereum technology. This is because Polygon is a “sidechain” that must eventually log its transactions on Ethereum’s larger system, and also because Ethereum’s currency, ETH, is required to make the purchase. Ethereum may [become more efficient] in the future, but the energy consumption of its networks is currently equivalent to the carbon footprint of Sweden.
