The PSAWSG² NFT is a generative art collection of 2,500. The collection will be released on Earth Day April 22nd, 2022 at 9 a.m. PST with a goal of planting 12,500 trees.

Each PSAWSG² NFT will be priced at 35 MATIC each for whitelisters and 45 MATIC for public mint.

Owning, in other words, minting a PSAWSG² NFT will require a Polygon wallet which you will connect to on TheGreenGirls.com site to complete the transaction. You will need 35 MATIC to mint one.

To drastically reduce the energy consumption of the PSAWSG² NFT, our collection will live in the Polygon ecosystem.

TheGreenGirls.com will also include a marketplace on the Polygon network where PSAWSG² NFT holders can trade or resell their PSAWSG² NFT. Due to the massive amount of CO2 emissions produced by transactions on the Ethereum network, we encourage our holders to minimize network interaction with Etherium and refrain from using Opensea to trade or resell until the Ethereum network shifts to proof-of-stake later this year.

Carbon Emission Research

According to Polygon, minting a single NFT on Polygon produces about 66 grams of CO2. The vast majority of those emissions will disappear when Ethereum switches to PoS in just a few months. This essentially means that “Ethereum’s electricity consumption will literally over a day or overnight drop to almost zero.” says Michel Rauchs, a research affiliate at the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance.

As it sits, a calculation from ‘digiconomist’ by Alex de Vries, notes that "the carbon footprint of a Polygon transaction is close to 430 grams of CO2". Therefore, to be conservative, on our offset calculations, we will calculate at more than double that number to 1,000 grams of CO2 per transaction.

According to OneTreePlanted.org, the average tree absorbs an average of 10 kilograms, or 22 pounds, of carbon dioxide per year for the first 20 years. This is a little less than half of the commonly cited 48 pounds per tree per year, which gives OneTreePlanted.org confidence that they are in the same ballpark as the accepted, de facto number, but are now being more conservative, and have a way to back it up.

Carbon Emission Calculation

- 1 NFT Mint（66 grams of CO2）and other transaction= 1,000 Grams of CO2
- 1 Tree Planted = 9,978.98 Grams of CO2 Absorbed（453.59 Grams ╱ pound）
- 5 Trees Planted per Mint = 49,894.90 Grams of CO2 Absorbed（110 pounds of CO2 absorbed per year）

1000 Grams of CO2（1 NFT Mint and other transactions）
╸49,894.90 Grams of CO2 Absorbed（5 Trees Planet per Mint）
＝╸48,894.90 Grams of CO2 Absorbed per year for the first 20 years making the PSAWSG² NFT collection carbon negative.

Record wildfire seasons in recent years have destroyed millions of trees in forests around the country. It is imperative that these forests are replanted within a reasonable time after a fire, insect infestation, disease, or weather takes its toll. If there is too much delay, invasive species of trees and brush that are fire-prone could take over, wildlife will not have critical habitat, and critical watershed areas will no longer be able to provide clean water. More detailed information on why replanting trees are vital at OneTreePlanted.org

Oceans cover 71 percent of the globe, and they are as important to us as they are vast. Our oceans are home to most of the life on our planet and play a central role in the world’s natural systems, like regulating our climate and absorbing carbon dioxide. They provide livelihoods to countless fishermen and others around the world. They also feed hundreds of millions of people and have the capacity to provide a healthy seafood meal to a billion people, every day.
