NFT Sustainability Manifesto T-Shirt

Sustainability Professor at UCL School of Management, launches NFT Sustainability Manifesto.

 

  • The sustainability Manifesto encourages the responsible use of NFT technology
  • The manifesto was released using a single NFT, not for sale minted on Stratisphere, the NFT marketplace of Stratis platform, a blockchain designed for energy-efficiency
  • Treedom also planted a tree with the goal of neutralising carbon emissions associated with the small carbon footprint of this single NFT

 

Paolo Taticchi, a professor at the UCL School of Management and an expert in corporate sustainability, has today launched the “NFT sustainability manifesto” to raise awareness about the opportunities and environmental risks for companies using NFTs. To promote the message of responsibly using the technology underpinning NFTs, the sustainability manifesto will be accessible through a single sustainable NFT, which will not be sold.

First conceived by Paolo Taticchi, the NFT was created through a collaboration between NFT designer Michele Fabbro and Italian artist Massimiliano Donnari (aka “MAMO”). The NFT resembles royal influencer Queen Elizabeth II wearing a top featuring the Earth with the tagline: “NFT – use and consume responsibly”.

As traditional NFT trading models consume substantial amounts of energy and generate carbon emissions, this NFT was minted on the energy-efficient blockchain Stratisphere. The Stratis blockchain is based on Proof-of-Authority (PoA) — a blockchain design that balances decentralization with energy efficiency. Additionally, the digital planting company Treedom has planted a tree with the goal of neutralising the carbon emissions associated with the digital token.

 

Viewers of the NFT will be able to access the NFT Sustainability Manifesto from a link embedded in the description. In a decade where almost all large organisations have committed toward carbon net zero targets, the engagement with these new technologies should be a cautious one, and the manifesto lays out some of the best practices for companies thinking of using this technology.

 

UCL Professor Paolo Taticchi commented:

“I’m always enthusiastic about new technologies, and I’m also positive about the future of NFTs and the underlying technology. However, at the same time, many companies are now engaging in complex journeys of sustainable transformation and are setting net-zero objectives. Taken together, businesses must fully appreciate the reputational risks and environmental implications of using this technology. Hence this manifesto encourages the responsible use of NFTs.”

Massimiliano Donnari, added:

“I decided to adopt one of my popular queens for this project. I was inspired by the responsible leadership of Elisabeth II and the impact influencers like Italian Chiara Ferragni can have through their work. The result is a stylish queen that reminds us of an influencer and stands for the planet by becoming an ambassador of the manifesto.”

Chris Trew, founder and CEO, of Stratis, said:

“By leveraging our implementation of Proof-of-Authority on Stratis, a globally distributed group of nodes validate transactions without the need for energy-intensive ‘mining’ common to Bitcoin and Ethereum. We have achieved a balance of true decentralization with sustainability in mind, which is critical to the widespread adoption of NFTs. We support UCL’s efforts to raise awareness of the sustainability issue related to NFTs and blockchain technology as a whole. In our view, it’s not an either-or situation – there are sustainable options for blockchains and NFT issuance while retaining levels of decentralization.”
