  NFTs have gained significant popularity in recent years, but their environmental impact cannot be ignored. One of the main concerns is the energy consumption associated with NFT transactions. The process of creating and trading NFTs requires a considerable amount of computational power, which in turn requires a large amount of electricity. This energy consumption contributes to carbon emissions and increases the overall carbon footprint of the crypto industry.
