<aside> 💡 [TL;DR]

• Blocks.garden is a new fun and engaging way to #MakeCryptoGreen, starting from Ethereum 1 Proof-of work
• 💡 inspired by the million $ homepage, when you buy a pixel on the canvas where you can put your brand, you are also getting a Green-NFT that provably decarbonizes the energy consumption of a specific block in the blockchain with Renewable Energy ⚡♻️ (through our tokenize Renewable Energy certificates)
• 👉 We’re proposing Public Nouns to be a launch partner of this movement by getting a “Garden Plot” (a group of pixels on the canvas) and reaping the advantages:
  • 📣💥 of massive visibility in both crypto and non-crypto media (we tested the story with Journalists)
  • 🦸💚 of being a Green Hero and supporting this publics good project
  • The pixel have many functions:
    • we can put a static advertising of public Nouns
    • we can use blocks as a frame to exhibit and showcase different projects supported by Public Nouns DAO or individual PN holders
    • it could be a dynamic presentation of the current and live auction and help perpetrate the memetic culture of Public Nouns </aside>

• TL;DR watch a 30 second video trailer to quickly understand it.

//  Context

There is a movement in the Ethereum ecosystem that wants to decarbonize Ethereum's historical consumption and emissions.This is a huge endeavor, estimated at 59.6 TWh or 18.1 million tons of CO2, that requires the participation of the whole community

we built on top and added resolution to this methodology https://kylemcdonald.github.io/ethereum-emissions/

//  What is Blocks.garden

Taking a lesson from the history of the Internet, Blocks.garden chunks the large problem of decarbonizig the historical emissions of ETH1 in small approachable steps, and packages it into a fun and engaging platform that allows the whole community to be motivated to participate.

<aside> 💡 We’ve taken the 15+ million blocks of Ethereum-1 and turned them into an equal amount of pixels in a large canvas;

• each pixel is an NFT or a group thereof (called a “Garden Plot”) that enables the owner to insert their brand and name.
• Each Block-NFT however is also paired with a Green-NFT, which today is a tokenized Renewable Energy Certificate, but in the near future could be another decarbonization strategy like a tokenized Carbon Credit or more.
• You also get a **gorgeous human readable Green-Proof** explaining your impact and all the data to verify yourself. </aside>

views of the blocks.garden app: people can put up their content on the blocks they own

one of the green proof views that come by default when you get a tokenized RECs with Zero Labs

but all blocks are paired with a Green-NFT that is soulbound and not transferable
