法國初創公司 PlanetWatch 與植樹平台 Treedom 合作開展基於區塊鏈的植樹計劃。

Stake for the Planet 是 PlanetWatch 承諾在未來五年內在全球種植 100 萬棵樹以支持全球重新造林的第一步。

PlanetWatch 聲稱是世界上第一個建立在 Algorand 區塊鏈上的分散式室內和室外空氣質量監測網絡，而 Treedom 則允許您從遠處種植一棵樹。

通過 Stake for the Planet 項目，PlanetWatch 的被稱為 Planets 的代幣的所有者可以將數字資產質押在他們的 Algorand 錢包中，以獲得最終允許他們種植樹木的獎勵。

A mysterious organization dedicated to the defense of planet Earth from alien lifeforms, PlanetWatch is quite possibly the most divisive superhero team on the block. Between their blatant disregard for innocent lives, their tendency to ignore supervillains that lack any alien influence, and their disregard for the possibility of redemption, they've managed to burn every bridge with every other superhero team, and some even argue they're just another bunch of villains with delusions of grandeur. Not that it bothers any of them.

George Monibot, writing in the The Guardian, addresses how lobbying distorts and thwarts what's actually good for people in the UK, but it could easily be translated to the US.

"There are some things we rightly find intolerable, such as the possession of poorly trained, aggressive dogs. There are other things, whose impacts are many thousands of times worse, that we decide just to live with. What makes the difference? Visibility is one reason...Ubiquity is another: the more widespread the problem, the more we normalise it... But I think the most important factor is lobbying power.

There is no corporate lobby behind the sale, let alone poor training, of American [pit bulls]. But there are powerful corporate lobbies behind the air pollution devastating many people’s health...

Thanks to the Pollution Paradox – the dirtiest industries have the greatest incentive to invest in politics, so politics comes to be dominated by the dirtiest industries – such lobbies exert a vast impact on political choice. If people were asked to vote on whether they want their hearts and lungs damaged, their children’s cognitive development impaired, extra cancers, more stillbirths, a higher risk of dementia and earlier death, they’d be likely to reject these options. But, thanks to decades of spin, the stark nature of the choice has been obscured."
