Social Responsibility
Conscious Partnerships for the World’s First All Kids NFT Gallery!
Our journey began with a group of children eager to create a unique art gallery that would stand out from the rest. Their curiosity led them to explore the exciting world of Web3, NFTs, and blockchain technology. However, they were also mindful of the environmental impact associated with some blockchain platforms.
Why Solana?
To align with our values of sustainability and inclusivity, we partnered with Solana, a blockchain renowned for its environmentally conscious approach. Here’s why Solana was the perfect choice for our All Kids NFT Gallery:
-
Energy Efficiency: Solana is designed to be extremely energy efficient. A single transaction on Solana uses only 1,939 Joules, which is less than the energy required for two Google searches. This efficiency is significantly lower compared to other blockchains like Ethereum and Bitcoin (https://solana.com/news/solanas-energy-use-report-september-2022) (https://solana.com/news/solana-foundation-carbon-neutral-2021).
-
Real-Time Emissions Tracking: Solana is the first major blockchain to implement real-time emissions measurement. This innovative feature, developed in collaboration with Trycarbonara, allows precise tracking of the network’s carbon footprint, enabling continuous monitoring and improvements (https://solana.com/news/announcing-real-time-emissions-measurement-on-the-solana-blockchain).
-
Carbon Neutrality: In 2021, the Solana Foundation achieved carbon neutrality through various initiatives, including funding the destruction of potent greenhouse gases like CFCs and HFCs. This commitment to offsetting carbon emissions ensures that the Solana network remains environmentally friendly (https://solana.com/news/solana-foundation-carbon-neutral-2021).
-
Community-Driven Values: Solana’s ecosystem is built on inclusive and community-driven values, fostering a supportive environment for creators of all ages. This aligns perfectly with our mission to empower children in the digital art space
We invite you to explore the vibrant world of digital art created by talented young artists. Our partnership with Solana not only showcases their creativity but also ensures that we do so with minimal environmental impact. Together, we are paving the way for a sustainable and inclusive future in the world of NFTs.

As part of our mission to be more eco-conscious we have also decided that we would estimate our energy use for the Gallery event and offset the carbon footprint by a one off donation of £20 to Woodland trust. This equates to offsetting 8 tonnes of carbon (https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/support-us/give/personal-carbon/) which sufficiently covers our carbon footprint and more for the 1 day event and vehicles used to transport equipment etc.
To further our aim of being more eco-conscious we also have decided to source sustainable organic merchandise products for sale where possible.
