Next Earth, a replica of Earth built on the blockchain, announced
that it has donated 330 BNB (around $204,000 USD) to environmental
causes from contributions made in November. The donation was made
via a voting DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization), in which
landowners vote on which charities to donate to. The percentage of
each vote corresponds to the percentage of funds that the charity
will get. The recipients of Next Earth’s November donation were
Amazon Watch, Kiss the Ground, SEE Turtles, and The Ocean Cleanup.
The Ocean Cleanup won the most votes, receiving 493 votes and
nearly 200 BNB. Amazon Watch was the runner-up, receiving 215 votes
and around 87 BNB, while Kiss the Ground received 56 votes and SEE
Turtles received 53 votes. This is the latest in a series of
monthly donations made by Next Earth. In October, Next Earth
donated over $64,000 to environmental causes. Next Earth was
created as an NFT-based replica of Earth with a map interface
allowing users to browse virtual land tiles for sale. Next Earth is
migrating to the Polygon network to decrease gas fees, improve
stability and accessibility. 10% of all purchases are donated to
environmental causes via the voting DAO. Landowners can vote on
which charities receive donations each month, with the percentage
of each vote corresponding to the percentage of funds that the
charity will get. The Selected Charities The winning charity, The
Ocean Cleanup, focuses on cleaning up the world’s oceans. The
organization was founded by Boyan Slat, a Dutch entrepreneur when
he was only 16 years old. The Ocean Cleanup is using technology to
develop a system to passively clean up the world’s oceans. The
system consists of a large U-shaped floating barrier that collects
debris as it drifts in the water. The barrier is attached to a
platform that sits at the surface of the water and serves as a
collection point for the debris. Next Earth’s donation will help
support The Ocean Cleanup’s efforts to clean up the world’s oceans
and prevent further damage to our planet’s environment. The next
charity, Amazon Watch, focuses on defending the rainforest and its
inhabitants. Amazon Watch was founded in 1996. The organization is
based in Oakland and works in partnership with indigenous
communities in the Amazon rainforest to defend their land, forests,
and rights. Amazon Watch has conducted campaigns to oppose the
construction of dams, the drilling for oil and gas in the
rainforest, and the expansion of cattle ranching into the
rainforest. The organization also provides training and support to
indigenous communities working to protect their land. Next Earth’s
donation will help Amazon Watch continue its work defending the
rainforest and its inhabitants. The third charity, Kiss the Ground,
is working to restore soil health. The organization works to
increase awareness of the importance of healthy soil for reversing
climate change and restoring human health. Next Earth’s donation
will help Kiss the Ground continue its work restoring soil health.
The fourth charity, SEE Turtles, focuses on protecting sea turtles.
SEE Turtles was co-founded by Dr. Wallace J. Nichols in 2008. The
organization works to protect sea turtles through education,
advocacy, and conservation programs. SEE Turtles organizes beach
cleanups and nest monitoring programs, educates people about sea
turtles and their environment, and advocates for laws that protect
sea turtles. The organization also raises public awareness about
the threats faced by sea turtles through its website and social
media channels. Next Earth’s donation will help SEE Turtles
continue its work protecting sea turtles. The Importance of
Blockchain For Good Blockchain projects are increasingly realizing
the importance of giving back to society. Next Earth is just one
example of a blockchain project using its technology to support
charitable causes. Next Earth’s donations are made in an effort to
help preserve and protect the environment. The company plans to
continue donating a portion of its proceeds to environmental causes
each month. The blockchain’s ability to facilitate transparent,
immutable transactions makes it a perfect platform for supporting
charitable causes. Blockchain projects that are looking to do good
in the world should consider how they can use their technology to
support charitable causes. Charitable causes can be funded directly
via blockchain projects or through third-party charities that are
looking for new sources of funding. Photo by Thirdman from
