The importance of sustainability: Why eco-friendly blockchains are the future

As more and more decentralized applications (DApps), such as GameFi, DeFi, NFTs, and more, are being developed, heated discussions about the environmental impact of blockchain and cryptocurrency have reignited once more. Especially after China’s crackdown on cryptocurrency mining activities, public debates about blockchain and crypto-related energy consumption rates have reached a climax.
Proof of Work’s environmental impact
Since the birth of Bitcoin, the Proof of Work (PoW) consensus mechanism has always been fundamental to the security of blockchain networks. This consensus is reached through computing power, commonly referred to as hash rate.
Over time as blockchain technology is being adopted by the world, the energy consumption rate of the entire blockchain network has skyrocketed, leading to significant environmental costs. The University of Cambridge estimates that Bitcoin mining consumes about 130 TWh per year, accounting for about 0.1% of the world’s total primary energy consumption.
As far as DApp development is concerned, energy consumption-related environmental issues are mostly derived from Ethereum mining, since Ethereum is a PoW blockchain with the largest ecosystem full of projects in varying sizes. With the recent London hard fork, the transition to Ethereum 2.0-a complete Proof of Stake (PoS) blockchain, will be completed as early as 2022. As a result, the current energy consumption per transaction on Ethereum is about 35 kWh, which is equivalent to the energy consumption of a single person in developing countries for 3 days.
The true cost of DApp transactions
While mass crypto adoption is happening around the world, DApps and their applicability will eventually catch up. New projects such as wealth management applications, lending platforms, decentralized exchanges (DEX), NFT-inspired metaverses, and more, that are gradually taking over social media and our lives are the ultimate proof. If you have been paying attention to what’s happening around you, the crypto community’s passion and loyalty towards decentralized, immutable technology are clearly reflected in the real world.
That is certainly good news for crypto enthusiasts, but for the environment, it’s an entirely different story. Take NFTs for example. Memo Atken, a digital artist and engineer, estimates that the true cost of an NFT is much higher than a typical energy consumption of a transaction on Ethereum (35 kWh). He believes that NFT-related transactions will cost much more because all NFTs have to be minted and exchanged multiple times on the blockchain.
He is certainly correct. In fact, an NFT’s creation and distribution do not only consist of a simple mint and sale process. There will be many subsequent transactions made by collectors and traders, which makes the average carbon footprint of each NFT close to 340kWh (an average of 211 kg of CO2), equivalent to a single person’s energy consumption in a developed country for more than a month.
Why eco-friendly blockchains are favored by developers
In early 2021, several public blockchains underwent considerable ecosystem expansion, such as ThunderCore, Solana, Polkadot, and Binance Smart Chain. These blockchains’ ecosystems are in full bloom, as decentralized projects like DAOs, Oracles, Token Bridges, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, blockchain games, and more, are being deployed consistently. There are many reasons for the expansion of these networks, but one thing they all have in common is that none of them utilize a PoW consensus mechanism (meaning zero physical mining facilities are used). Instead, novel mechanisms, such as PoS, that allow on-chain staking and other models to replace PoW are applied.
Among them, the ThunderCore blockchain uses the state-of-the-art PoS consensus mechanism, PaLa, which not only solves the “scalability trilemma”, but also supports the chain’s entire ecosystem with cheap renewable energy. ThunderCore is an eco-friendly public blockchain, and its CO2 emissions, resulting from on-chain transactions, are reduced by more than 10,000x. For example, its block creation does not require the support of large amounts of energy resources like Bitcoin and Ethereum do. ThunderCore is also EVM compatible, which allows the rapid migration and deployment of Ethereum projects. With low gas fees (<$0.00001), sub-second confirmations, and 4,000+ TPS, ThunderCore has become a platform favored by developers from the world over.

Mary Drucker Palm Beach Dental Assistant Champions Oral Health Through Local Outreach

United States, 5th Dec 2025 – Mary Drucker Palm Beach, a dedicated dental assistant and lifelong local, is taking community care beyond the exam room. Known for her attention to detail and patient-first approach, Mary Drucker has extended her commitment to oral health to the wider Palm Beach community by launching volunteer efforts to increase access to dental hygiene education and care for underserved residents.
With over a decade of experience in dental care, Mary Drucker Palm Beach understands the crucial role dental assistants play in helping patients feel comfortable, informed, and safe. She also sees what many in the industry don’t: how gaps in basic dental knowledge can impact long-term health, especially in communities with limited access to preventive care.
“Dental health isn’t a luxury. It’s a foundation for overall wellness,” said Mary Drucker Palm Beach. “And yet, so many people, including children and seniors, still lack access to basic information and resources. I knew I could do something about that.”
In partnership with local nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and independent hygienists, Drucker has begun organizing small-scale events across the Palm Beach area. These include free oral health workshops, children’s dental education programs, and mobile screenings that offer guidance on cavity prevention, flossing, and nutrition.
Most recently, Mary Drucker Palm Beach joined a weekend clinic effort that provided dental kits, oral health screenings, and hygiene education to more than 100 local residents. Many of those participants had not seen a dentist in several years.
“I may not be the dentist, but as a dental assistant, I’m trained to teach people how to care for their teeth between appointments,” she said. “That’s where health really begins, in the day-to-day.”
Colleagues in the Palm Beach dental community have taken notice. Several local practices have expressed interest in joining future events, contributing supplies, or offering time from their own staff.
Mary Drucker Palm Beach is also working with school administrators to bring oral health education into classrooms, a move she says is critical to establishing good habits early.
“A child who learns how to care for their teeth grows into an adult who values prevention,” she said. “It’s not just about cleanings and checkups. It’s about changing mindsets.”
Beyond education, Drucker hopes her outreach helps demystify dental care for people who may feel anxious or ashamed.
“Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected in the dental chair,” she said. “If I can help ease that fear, even for one person, that’s meaningful.”
Those who know Mary Drucker Palm Beach describe her as calm, efficient, and deeply compassionate. She is the kind of person who doesn’t just clock in and out but takes time to learn patients’ names and stories.
“She’s the heart of the clinic,” said one colleague. “Patients trust her because she listens, and because she genuinely cares.”
For Mary Drucker Palm Beach, the work is personal.
“This is my home,” she said. “The people I serve aren’t just patients. They’re my neighbors and my community. Giving back isn’t extra. It’s essential.”
About Mary Drucker Palm Beach
Mary Drucker Palm Beach is a certified dental assistant based in Palm Beach, Florida. With a strong background in patient care and preventive education, she volunteers regularly across the region to help increase access to oral health knowledge and resources for underserved communities.
