What’s Crypto Doing to Mother Earth?

December 11, 2021 @ 1:00 pm 2:15 pm Eastern

Cryptocurrency mining can require banks of many thousands of computers — and the tremendous amounts of electricity they use.

What the frack is cryptocurrency, anyway? Should we embrace it or eschew it? Cartographer Karen Edelstein, independent journalist and scholar Maura Stephens, and Seneca Lake Guardian Yvonne Taylor will enlighten us about who loves it, what it is, when and where it may be coming, why it’s growing so spectacularly, and how it impacts climate — and our own lives. And then they’ll share how communities worldwide are organizing to fight siting of CO2-belching cryptocurrency mines in their midst.

10 am PST, 11 am MST, noon CST, 1 pm EST (US/Canada)
