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.

Qimedo Brings Power Every Move to Whole-Home Cleaning for North American Households
Charleston, South Carolina, United States, 14th May 2026 – Qimedo, a home-cleaning tools brand guided by the idea of “Power Every Move,” is strengthening its whole-home cleaning portfolio for modern households across North America. Built around real cleaning scenarios—from pet hair and floor stains to bathroom grime, kitchen grease, and post-grill residue—the brand aims to make everyday cleaning more efficient, more manageable, and less physically demanding.

With a growing product matrix designed for bathrooms, floors, kitchens, pet areas, and outdoor grill spaces, the brand aims to help families manage real household messes with less bending, less manual scrubbing, and greater everyday convenience.
Smart Home Cleaning Portfolio
As modern households manage increasingly diverse cleaning needs across kitchens, bathrooms, living spaces, and outdoor areas, many consumers continue to rely on traditional cleaning methods that require repetitive manual scrubbing, frequent tool switching, and prolonged bending or kneeling. Everyday challenges such as pet hair accumulation, grease buildup, floor stains, and post-grill residue have contributed to growing demand for more efficient and user-friendly home cleaning solutions.
Qimedo is expanding its portfolio of electric cleaning tools designed to address these real-world household cleaning scenarios through practical, multi-purpose solutions. The brand’s product lineup covers a wide range of home-cleaning applications, including floor care, bathroom deep cleaning, handheld surface scrubbing, vacuum cleaning, and outdoor grill maintenance, with a focus on helping users reduce physical effort and simplify routine cleaning tasks.
Development Philosophy
According to the company, Qimedo’s product development strategy centers on combining convenience, ergonomic usability, and multi-scenario functionality to better support the cleaning habits of modern households.
“At Qimedo, we believe deep cleaning should not feel like a punishment. Our goal is to give modern households practical tools that reduce effort, save time, and make everyday cleaning feel more manageable,” said a Qimedo spokesperson.
A Portfolio Built Around Real Household Tasks

Within its growing lineup, each Qimedo product category plays a distinct role in the home-cleaning routine.
For pet-friendly homes and high-traffic living spaces, Qimedo’s cordless vacuum solutions are designed to help manage pet hair, dust, crumbs, and everyday debris across multiple surfaces.
For floor care, Qimedo’s M Series dual-head mops are designed to combine two everyday cleaning functions in one floor-care system: brush-style scrubbing for tougher residue and mop-style coverage for routine surface maintenance. This approach helps households manage spills, sticky marks, dried-on messes, and everyday floor buildup with less physical effort.

In bathrooms and other wet-area environments, Qimedo’s electric scrubbers are designed to help users clean tubs, tiles, grout lines, corners, and other hard-to-reach areas while reducing repetitive manual scrubbing. For kitchens and compact surface areas, handheld scrubbers provide a more targeted cleaning option for sinks, counters, stovetops, and food residue.
The brand also extends its cleaning approach beyond indoor spaces. Its outdoor grill-cleaning tools are designed to support post-cooking cleanup for barbecue equipment and backyard entertaining areas, reflecting Qimedo’s broader focus on whole-home cleaning scenarios.
Together, the lineup reflects Qimedo’s commitment to practical, user-friendly cleaning tools that help modern households reduce effort, save time, and maintain cleaner living spaces with greater comfort and confidence.
Qimedo reinforces its customer-first service commitment by offering free shipping on orders over $100, along with a 45-day worry-free returns and refund guarantee. These service policies are designed to strengthen consumer confidence and provide greater assurance for households when selecting cleaning tools that fit their everyday needs.

As an independent consultant, he advises founders, boards, and leadership teams on marketing strategy, organizational transformations, restructuring, and the design of scalable operational models built for transformative growth.
At industry events and industry forums, Steven Lash San Diego is increasingly known for connecting two themes that often get discussed separately: innovation and sustainability. He has argued that long term organizational health depends on treating sustainability not as a compliance line item but as a source of business model innovation in its own right.
“Sustainability and innovation are not two different conversations. They are the same conversation,” said Steven Lash. “Organizations that build sustainability into their operating model from the start tend to discover entirely new categories of value. That is where transformative growth actually comes from.”
His ongoing work with innovative entrepreneurs and forward thinking organizations continues to reflect that view, blending entrepreneurial thinking, marketing strategy, and operational discipline into engagements designed to position clients for long term resilience.

Ukrainian Parents in Denmark Receive Guidance at Church of Scientology on Education
Community seminar in Copenhagen focused on integration, education and support for displaced families adapting to life in Denmark
Brussels, Belgium, 14th May 2026 — Ukrainian parents living in Denmark gathered in Copenhagen for an educational seminar aimed at helping families better understand the Danish school system, child development approaches and the social integration process facing many displaced families since the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.

The seminar was organized by the Church of Scientology Denmark and held in Copenhagen, bringing together Ukrainian mothers seeking practical guidance on how to support their children’s adaptation to Danish educational culture while maintaining stability within the family environment.
The initiative was reported by MyNewsDesk Denmark, highlighting the growing need for community-based educational support programs for refugee and migrant families across Europe.
The seminar was led by Marianne, an experienced educator and founder of a private kindergarten with nearly 30 years of professional experience. During the session, she explained key aspects of the Danish educational philosophy, including the importance placed on independence, social interaction, play-based learning and close cooperation between schools and parents.
Participants discussed the differences between educational expectations in Denmark and those common in Ukraine. One example that generated considerable discussion involved the Danish emphasis on exploratory outdoor activities for children, even when that means children return home with dirty clothing after a day of learning and play. According to attendees, the example helped illustrate broader cultural differences regarding childhood development and education.
The seminar also addressed practical concerns that many Ukrainian parents experience when interacting with Danish institutions, including communication with teachers, pedagogues, speech specialists and municipal educational services.
Questions surrounding parental authority and cooperation with schools were discussed openly. Organizers explained that the Danish system encourages active parental participation while also providing professional support structures designed to assist children with language acquisition, social integration and academic development.
One participant, identified as Iriny in the report, described the seminar as “interesting and practical,” noting that it provided valuable insight into how Danish educational institutions cooperate with families and support children adapting to a new cultural environment.
The event forms part of a broader pattern of local initiatives organized by Scientology communities across Europe focused on education, social betterment and humanitarian support. Churches, missions and affiliated groups regularly host activities connected to drug prevention, volunteer assistance, literacy, human rights education and community support programs.
These initiatives are inspired by the humanitarian principles and social philosophy developed by Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, whose writings on education, communication and social responsibility continue to influence many Scientology-supported social programs worldwide.
Ivan Arjona, representative of the Church of Scientology to the European Union, the OSCE, the Council of Europe and the United Nations, commented on the broader significance of such community initiatives in Europe:
“Successful integration is built through understanding, access to information, mutual respect and the active participation of families within society. Community initiatives that help parents understand educational systems and social structures contribute positively to social cohesion and to the well-being of children adapting to new environments.”
Organizers indicated that additional seminars and educational activities are being considered in the future, including further discussions on cultural adaptation and the integration of children into Danish society.
The Church of Scientology, its churches, missions, groups and members are present across the European continent. Scientology Europe reports a continent-wide presence through more than 140 churches, missions and affiliated groups in at least 27 European nations, alongside thousands of community-based social betterment and reform initiatives focused on education, prevention and neighbourhood-level support, inspired by the work of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.
Within Europe’s diverse national frameworks for religion, the Church’s recognitions continue to expand, with administrative and judicial authorities in Spain, Portugal, Sweden, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany Slovakia and others, as well as the European Court of Human Rights, having addressed and acknowledged Scientology communities as protected by the national and international provisions of Freedom of Religion or belief.
