A Mission to Better Manage Emissions with Blockchain
Heard of carbon credits? They’re permits that help manage carbon emissions. Countries and businesses receive credits from a governing authority allowing them to produce a given amount of carbon emissions. If they produce less carbon than they’re allotted, they can sell the remaining credits. In theory, this promotes cleaner, greener business practices, but managing carbon credits is a complex process, as there’s no central exchange for trading them. IBM is tackling the problem head-on, working with Veridium, an eco-minded coalition of industry leaders, to manage carbon credits on Stellar, a public blockchain network. IBM is committed to environmental stewardship, and by helping carbon credits work harder on blockchain, IBM is working to better protect our environment and make the world a better place for everyone in it.
Bamboo grows very fast, so it is the perfect material for an item that needs to be replaced every three month. Unlike plastic. A plastic toothbrush is used for a couple of weeks and then stays on this planet for several hundred years, since it will not biodegrade. That makes no sense. Switch to bamboo. Plus: You can just burry the old brushes in the backyard.
EARTHLING /ərTHliNG/ noun: an inhabitant of the Earth.
The term Earthling is holistically inclusive—it reflects our similarities, not our differences. We call ourselves Earthlings because we are of the same species, living on the same planet.
Worldie Helps Women and Girls With Technology! Our new logo update makes that even clearer with the dark hot pink streak centered!
It’s like Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman in the 1970s with the ratio today of nearly no women leading or controlling technology. It took us backwards and hurts female public figures everywhere, mostly from bot farms, but Worldie and our partners supporting women will push it FORWARD!
Many women in artificial intelligence and machine learning coding struggle from being removed from crowdsourcing websites, getting fewer reviews, and less hiring, until we came along! We will cause the change!
Wonder Woman uses AI Robot Rover to save the plan…et!

We have a dark hot pink streak in the center, yet, it’s still all-in-one. You could create an entire Tech company just on helping women with Tech.
We hope the internet changes!! Not only that -> we’ll make it change!
It’s like the Lynda Carter’s Wonder Woman in 1970′s with the ratios. There are nearly no female founders and very few artificial intelligence/machine learning female coders - and those who are, struggle to compete by being removed from crowdsourcing sites, harsher reviews, and not getting hired - until we came along! Wonder Woman uses the AI Robot Rover to save the plan…et!
What have you done to reduce your carbon footprint in the last 10 months?
I’ve reduced the amount of takeaway coffee cups I use (but with COVID some coffee shops stopped accepting keepcups so that was difficult).
I’ve stopped buying prepacked lunches from Tesco and make my own lunch to bring with me to work in a lunchbox.
I’ve left my job that involved a commute so I can walk/cycle to work easily, saving the planet and my bank account! Was spending easily €100 on transport a month…
I’ve been bringing my own bags to supermarkets to do my shopping. My housemates still buy bags but I’ll reuse them and give out to them haha
I don’t think I’ve bought a plastic water bottle in over two years now, I bring my reusable water bottle everywhere, even on holidays.
I can sit here all day and post little infographics on how best to reduce your waste, but I’m not practicing what I’m preaching if I’m not making serious changes to my diet.
Calling all veggies and vegans!
I need your help, gimme your tips and tricks, reblog this and get your friends to give me tips and tricks, educate more people!
