Crypto and Sustainability: How Digital Nomads Can Support a Greener Future
Cryptocurrencies and sustainability may seem like an unlikely duo, but there are plenty of ways that digital nomads can support a greener future through their participation in the blockchain community.
Cryptocurrency and climate change
Cryptocurrency is a form of digital currency that uses cryptography to secure transactions and control the creation of new units. It can be used to purchase goods and services, or can be traded for other currencies at online exchanges.
Cryptocurrency can also be used as payment for energy, which means that if you're on the move, you may not need to worry about buying local currency before visiting a country--your crypto will work just fine! This is especially helpful when traveling abroad; instead of spending time converting money into euros or pounds sterling (or even dollars), simply use your cryptocurrency wherever possible.
When it comes to sustainability efforts like reducing carbon emissions from transportation and encouraging renewable energy usage through carbon credits , cryptocurrencies provide an opportunity for digital nomads to support those efforts with their everyday actions while working remotely in different parts of the world throughout 2018 and beyond."
Digital nomads and sustainability
As a digital nomad, you have the opportunity to live in a more sustainable way than many people. Your lifestyle is generally less carbon-intensive than that of an average person, especially if you're traveling with your family or partner.
While it's true that there are many ways in which digital nomads can be wasteful and polluting (for example, by flying around the world on planes), there are also ways in which we can reduce our impact on the environment through careful planning and conscientious choices.
How to be a better digital nomad (and save the planet)
As a digital nomad, you can make a difference by being a conscientious consumer. Here are some ways to help the planet and save money at the same time:
Use a VPN. When you're traveling abroad, your internet connection will be routed through another country--often one with less stringent data privacy laws than your home country. This can expose sensitive information about who you are and what websites or apps you've been visiting. A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts all of your online traffic so that no one can spy on it while it passes through this "middleman," making it safer for everyone involved.
Use renewable energy sources when available. Many countries offer tax breaks or other incentives for businesses that choose to use renewable energy sources like solar panels or wind turbines instead of burning fossil fuels like coal or gas; check out this guide from Greenpeace International if this interests you!
Crypto can help us transition to a more sustainable future
Cryptocurrencies are a great way to support the environment. The blockchain can be used to track carbon emissions, which will help us transition towards a more sustainable future.
The crypto community has already made strides in this area: The Ethereum Foundation has pledged $30 million USD towards climate change initiatives and projects like SolarCoin incentivize people to invest in renewable energy sources by rewarding them with cryptocurrency when they use solar power or other clean energy sources (1).
SolarCoin is just one example of how digital nomads can use their skillset to create an environmentally friendly future for everyone!
