<div class="row mb-10">
<div class="col-md">
<p>{% trans %}The digital asset XRP was designed with sustainability in mind. The XRP Ledger processes transactions through a unique “consensus” mechanism that consumes negligible energy and all XRP currency is already in circulation. It is the first major blockchain network to be <a href="https://ripple.com/ripple-press/ripple-leads-sustainability-agenda-to-achieve-carbon-neutrality-by-2030/" target="_blank">fully carbon neutral</a>.{% endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans %}Other digital assets, like Bitcoin, rely on a different mechanism to both validate transactions and create new coins. This “proof-of-work” algorithm requires “mining.” Mining is an incredibly energy-intensive process for validating transactions that consumes more energy in a year than entire countries.{% endtrans %}</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md">
<p>{% trans %}Cash also leaves a substantial carbon footprint, and the environmental impact goes beyond energy consumption—eutrophication (due to waste), photochemical ozone creation, greenhouse gas emissions and more factor into the equation.{% endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans %}Adopting XRP more broadly will help limit this waste and ensure a sustainable future for our planet and global economy.{% endtrans %}</p>
