Blockchain Benefits Beyond Imagination
We expect the blockchain technology to be at the center of 4th Industrial Revolution technologies to capture the value exchange of innovative companies and social enterprises in transparent and secure ways. True, the blockchain technology is in its infancy, but imagining how blockchain can be used to benefit humanity is exciting—consider wealth enhancement, land titling, supply chain tracking and efficiency, micro-credit accounting, tracking digital creative rights, and even distribution of energy.

We Need a New Deal with Nature
We’ve already noted the unconscionable loss of species abundance @ 60% among animals in the last 40-50 years (WWF Living Index, 2019). Nearly 20% of our tropical forest ecosystems have also been degraded or destroyed in a similar time frame. Why do we need a New Deal with Nature? Nature is the Real Deal. For one, forest ecosystems alone can drawdown 10 gigatons of CO2/ year– nearly 25% of the 40 gigatons of CO2/year we need to take out of the atmosphere to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Imagine! “But sadly...2019-06-0300 min
