Foreword:

Let me talk about what happened to Animal Coins recently?

SHIB, PIG, DOG, FORG… -55%, -85%, -68%, -75%,…

The crash came too fast like a tornado. What caused the collapse of animal coins? There are 3 reasons:

1. No vision, no personality, no ideas, which means no hope. In the blockchain industry, this is 10 times more important than the second one.

2. There is no actual value support. When the FOMO boom subsided, the bullish courage lost to the panic caused by the market decline. After all, most of the laser eyes who shouted “TO THE MOON” still knew in their hearts. Who is the real lion, and who is just a dog (even at night, the dog’s shadow is as tall as a lion, but the night will eventually pass and the sun will come out.)

3. There is no economic model for sustainable development, and the position of the decimal point in the price does not determine whether a lion or a dog.

Don’t forget, it is not animals, but plants that dominate the world. The plant is the savior, when the leaf comes and the blockchain turns green.

At the 1992 “@Earth Summit” (also known as the “United Nations Conference on Environment and Development”), 155 countries signed the “The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, UNFCCC”, which was also the fundamental parent law of the CDM of the “Clean Development Mechanism”.

In order to achieve the ultimate goal of global greenhouse gas reduction in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the aforementioned legal framework has agreed on 3 emission reduction mechanisms:

Clean Development Mechanism,CDM

Joint Implementation,JI

Emissions Trade,ET

After 30 years, the human living environment has not improved as expected by the Earth Summit, and the carbon trading market led by the government and multinational groups has not played its due value. Since 1990, global carbon dioxide emissions have increased by nearly 50%, while the world’s forest area has decreased by 1.29 million square kilometers, exceeding the national area of South Africa. The earth loses 23 hectares of potential agricultural land every minute, and 40% of the world’s population is affected by water scarcity.

Just as Satoshi Nakamoto was disappointed with the centralized financial system, Leaf was even more disappointed with the centralized environmental governance institutions. On such a problem concerning the survival of the human race, 7 billion people can only rely on the link of less than 1,000 people. More importantly, the global carbon emissions are 34 billion hectares, while the centralized carbon trading market is only 65 billion U.S. dollars. This means that the carbon trading market established for the purpose of promoting emission reduction is in such a huge in front of carbon emissions, it is like a drop in the bucket!

Carbon emissions trading is a great innovation, but the centralized management organization has reduced it to another tool that serves the interests of individual countries and small groups. This is not the result that all mankind wants and should see. Self-revolution relying on centralized organizations is unrealistic. It just drags mankind into chronic death. The blockchain, the most perfect decentralized governance system, is the only way to re-energize the potential of carbon emissions trading.

Leaf aims to establish a decentralized distributed carbon trading neural network, so that every individual, team, institution, and country in the world can conduct carbon emissions trading without distinction, low threshold and fairness, and use IOT technology to upload accurately in real time Carbon data.

According to the roadmap, Leaf will establish the world’s first decentralized carbon emission exchange, establish a carbon energy saving public chain, abandon any form of energy consumption consensus mechanism, and establish the world’s first POES (Proof Of Energy Saving) consensus mechanism — — The biggest difference is that it is no longer based on who consumes more electricity to get more tokens. On the contrary, whoever saves more energy gets more tokens! This kind of Coin is unprecedented. It has not only activated a trillion-dollar market, but more importantly, it is the first time in human history that it has used blockchain technology to benefit 7 billion people around the world. A great experiment on all life on this planet, because there are hundreds of millions of lovely creatures who own this planet together with mankind. The success of Leaf will also benefit them.

Without plants, what color would the earth be?

We don’t want or dare to imagine. Let us cherish the green, because it is composed of each Leaf.
