Update on E4C Platform development
Hi E4C Community – Peter and I have decided to pause the E4C project as our efforts to raise much needed funding hasn’t proved successful. While disappointing, we are eternally optimistic and positive this project will start at some stage in the near future, as the need remains urgent ....
Greed does not have to be ‘allegorical’ to a token issue – how a blockchain environmental Platform as a Services, ensures this is true
What an awful month or so we have seen in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. This blog has been much tougher to write than espousing the normal good news stories, around community based ....
A token for global environmental participation for the benefit of our shared planet
In respect of environment4change and our plans for the future, the addition and convergence of a Blockchain element ‘into the mix’ with e-commence technologies is a critical part of offering a Platform as a Service, open access, scalability, service aggregating, collecting un-used and under-utilised resources and uniting global goodwill for the benefit of Mother Earth. ....
Environmental Global Good – a project fitting of a DAO
Much has been written on the pros and cons of centralised models of actions and execution vis-á-vis decentralised models. The environment4change team are committed to a democratised focus of action and execution, as we believe it will represent a fairer ....

What are the wider impacts of a ‘Platform as a Service’ (PaaS) architecture for environmentalism
There is no other project addressing issues which have more critical and wider impacts on our collective lives, how we live them, and ability to do so sustainably, safe guarding our children’s rights to expect the same standard of living environment and ecosystem. Arguably this is the project of the century. ....
What is the value of the E4C Project?
We are not accounting for the loses of nature and damage to our environment, because we are not accounting for the income nature / the environment gives us. ....
Introducing a digital token for real environmental action
The tokenization of environmental access and participation is a construct with a difference. Where normal ‘Crypto Projects’ are driven and assessed by typical economic drivers of revenue and profit, this project measures success ....
An update by the environment4change Team
The environment4change Team believe it is time I put pen to paper again, and inform you all of how this project is progressing. If you have believed the lack of new social media content from the E4C Team means we have taken our preverbal foot off the accelerator you are very mistaken. ....
Biodiversity loss equals future pandemics!
Often, we write a blog to summarise, in one place, what is available in the media on a topic of interest. This blog is just that case. We hear about Covid-19 being a result, directly or indirectly, of biodiversity loss. The encroachment of mankind into and onto natural wilderness. What does that mean to humanity and where are we at today? One thing is obvious, pandemics do not happen often but when they do, they are very bad news and have . ....
Phytoplankton – Earth’s Oxygen producing ecosystem

Environmental partners and tokenisation
The question I pose in the introduction to this article is; “How will our partners deal with tokenisation considering many will be legacy businesses not supporting or caring for the latest digital technologies?” .....
Global environmental project participation and market outcomes
The adage, ‘service globally but act locally’ best describes our recipe for growing our platform and ecosystem in support of our goals, vision and mission! Our audience is the global population which has, until now, been excluded from meaningful self-started environmentalism. Arguably, there is no greater need than a PaaS, that enables, empowers and emboldens the global population to clean-up .....
Environmentalism and market awareness
Today, environmentalism is fragmented, divided, narrowly focused and competitive. The environmental industry does not co-operate but rather competes with each other over winning of donations and producing . .....
Our environmental approach and software innovation
How many concurrent environmental projects are being run simultaneously by big well-funded environment organisations? Not sure, … me either, … but it isn’t many. Imagine being able to say we are doing 100,000 or 1,000,000 clean-up projects .....
New money for a green economy
At environment4change we avoid issues of a political nature as much as possible, put something quite significant happened last week in the UK and it does bear mentioning. On April 9, 2020, the Bank of England announced it would directly fund government spending during the Covid-19 crisis. .....
Chocking on air
The more we learn of environmental science, the more we realise how everything is interconnected. Over time, cities have become larger and so have the number of industries and vehicles burning fossil fuels that visit city locations and reside therein. Pollutants in the air all across the globe have been worsening over time .....
Environmental and economic insanity

Why is plastic and plastic waste such an important topic?
The subject of plastic and plastic waste, in particular, is not going away and rightly so. For too long we have turned a blind eye to what happens to plastic when we have finished with it and its many pathways into the environment....
Understanding the environment4change value matrix
Let’s be completely honest! The potential value of any business can be defined by the problem the businesses is looking to solve and the scope, depth and width of the said problem. Valuing a problem is a helpful first step, or perhaps valuing the resultant condition if nothing is done can be more telling! In the case of global environmental damage, it is made a little easier as very credible,....
How can we link the environment to all of humanity?
This is something that has keep us up at night. Initially, this may appear to be a relatively easy question to answer, but the reality is, it is not! Given that humanity will experience, in different ways, the effects of a degradation of the environment will impact how individually,....

Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink!
Is humanity running out of fresh water? Is there a scarcity and water quality problem? Before we start a look at water and how important it is to humanity, let’s first remind ourselves of some important facts around it. ...

Why environment4change will use a BlockChain component in its ecosystem architecture?
The blockchain journey, as a distributed mechanism to reach a decentralised consensus, has just began. With it, and specially in respect of our instance of a blockchain use, our focus is on how a blockchain can help open-up, distribute, ...
Why environment4change will use a BlockChain component in its ecosystem architecture?
The question of Blockchain for us, although a critical element of our service architecture and service offer, must be ameliorated by a consideration of the technology itself and whether the technology, and its premise of being open and ...
Can we reverse our spiral into food insecurity, and the probability of mass migration because of it?
In a blog post on 26 August 2019 entitled “Is an environmentally sound agricultural policy and feeding 10 billion people mutually exclusive?” we listed out some of the principal factors not boding well for humanity’s ability to feed itself by 2050, ...
Is an environmentally sound agricultural policy, and feeding 10 billion people mutually exclusive?
With 7.7 billion people on the planet today, our food systems are barely coping. This “just coping” still leaves 11.6% of all humanity hungry and facing chronic food deprivation, a situation that is unbearable with an immense cost to the environment. Traditional agriculture can be ...

A little more detail on the environment4change platform economy
It is certainly not lost on the environment4change team of the critical nature of ensuring the platform economy functions in a healthy matter. All platform interactions, whether caused by a donation of ...
Just how connected are we?
In a week when there has been a lot of coverage of the Apollo 11 expedition and landing on the Moon 50 years ago (on 20 July 1969), it is perhaps circumspect and prudent to consider where our shared environment may be, in 50 years-time? ...

Why waste management and recycling are an important part of the environment4change strategy?
As a species mankind has been gifted a single planet, Earth. Our shared planet has a definable set of scare resources, but mankind arguably has an undefined ability to be creative, innovative and resourceful. As demand for raw resources continue to increase over time, with an increasing population ...
What does a Platform as a Service for environmentalism look like?

The problem and a need for a new approach
As our global population increases and mankind continues to spread ‘wider-a-field,’ the greater is the strain on rare and endangered habitats and the species that rely on these habitats for their well-being and procreation. The planet is subjectively shrinking but the affects and footprints of mankind are ever more noticeable and non-removable...
