🌍 @CoorestOfficial, a Polygon-native project, is the first #Web3 project to have an officially verified carbon standard, The Coorest Carbon Standard (CCS).
But what is it? 🤷
👇
It is a new standard and methodology for carbon compensation based on blockchain technology & geospatial satellite data.
The CCS is certified by an official United Nations auditor, which makes it a legitimate carbon compensation method.
#Polygon is not only carbon neutral, but also has a firm commitment to bring sustainability into the Web3 space.
An accessible way of compensating carbon footprint will not only positively impact Web3 but will also add to the well-being of the environment.
