When you think about blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies the last thing it comes to mind it’s the environment. Why would you consider it? No one has taken the time to explain the long lasting consequences on the planet that continuous cryptocurrency mining can leave on it.

### Let’s begin with the facts
Bitcoin and Ethereum, two of the most powerful representatives of cryptocurrencies right now are originated by the same mining principles. They both use blockchain technology to keep a detailed registry of every transaction made with them. But anyone on the developing team of these currencies took the time to consider the power issue on any of them?

When you generate a single unit of cryptocurrency, you rely on two things: technology and electrical power. The technology might as well be the easiest part to set up. You need money to buy state of the art computers that allow you for mining. But to get your machines running, you need a good amount of power, LOTS of it as a matter of fact. 

### The Math
Just run these numbers in your head for a while: a normal transaction with any digital currency requires 215KWh of power, a regular house in the US uses 900KWh on a month. This means that a single transaction with digital currency uses as much energy as seven houses in a single day. If there are currently at least 300,000 operations with cryptocurrencies a day with an eye set on massification, what do you think will happen with our natural resources in the short run?

### The Solution: Envion  
Matthias Woestmann has been thinking about these issues for a while now, and he has come up with a great initiative with his sight set on offering a green solution to the power issue of cryptocurrencies. He has gathered a team of like-minded individuals to create Envion a new ICO initiative that is ready to revolutionize the cryptocurrency industry by breaking a few standards in the name of a safe environment. 

The team behind Envion is backing up their proposals with facts by creating mobile mining units stored in CSC containers that have been arranged to work in a plug-and-work setting. Watching this system work is a thing of beauty since solar panels have become a reliable source of power as well as a cheap one, Envion can work its mining units with the overproduction of energy that some of these plants generate. The mining units process all their data through a global, decentralized network. 

Envion has also developed a solution to the unending heat generated by mining with their Air cooling technology that it’s 40% more cost-efficient than any current AC system on the market, they even go the extra mile with their eco-friendly efforts by re-directing the energy generated by their mining efforts to greenhouses, shelters or any facility that might need it.

The Envion token is ready to go live today. If you are a cryptocurrency enthusiast and these words have raised a few concerns in you, consider the alternative and visit https://envion.org/ or read the [Whitepaper](https://www.envion.org/en/whitepaper/).
