Hi E4C Community – Peter and I have decided to pause the E4C project as our efforts to raise much needed funding hasn’t proved successful. While disappointing, we are eternally optimistic and positive this project will start at some stage in the near future, as the need remains urgent ....
What an awful month or so we have seen in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. This blog has been much tougher to write than espousing the normal good news stories, around community based ....
In respect of environment4change and our plans for the future, the addition and convergence of a Blockchain element ‘into the mix’ with e-commence technologies is a critical part of offering a Platform as a Service, open access, scalability, service aggregating, collecting un-used and under-utilised resources and uniting global goodwill for the benefit of Mother Earth. ....
Much has been written on the pros and cons of centralised models of actions and execution vis-á-vis decentralised models. The environment4change team are committed to a democratised focus of action and execution, as we believe it will represent a fairer ....
Our project plan is achievable, realistic and designed to create a synergy in development and problem-solving outcomes. The focus of the project team to create something meeting the objectives of the project in the most efficient way. Any links or dependencies ....
There is no other project addressing issues which have more critical and wider impacts on our collective lives, how we live them, and ability to do so sustainably, safe guarding our children’s rights to expect the same standard of living environment and ecosystem. Arguably this is the project of the century. ....
We are not accounting for the loses of nature and damage to our environment, because we are not accounting for the income nature / the environment gives us. ....
The tokenization of environmental access and participation is a construct with a difference. Where normal ‘Crypto Projects’ are driven and assessed by typical economic drivers of revenue and profit, this project measures success ....
The environment4change Team believe it is time I put pen to paper again, and inform you all of how this project is progressing. If you have believed the lack of new social media content from the E4C Team means we have taken our preverbal foot off the accelerator you are very mistaken. ....
Often, we write a blog to summarise, in one place, what is available in the media on a topic of interest. This blog is just that case. We hear about Covid-19 being a result, directly or indirectly, of biodiversity loss. The encroachment of mankind into and onto natural wilderness. What does that mean to humanity and where are we at today? One thing is obvious, pandemics do not happen often but when they do, they are very bad news and have . ....
One of The Environment4Change Foundations (‘E4C’) objectives is to educate humanity on environmental matters, particularly those of utmost importance. Cleaning up our shared planet, is of this kind, particularly when our nature and its ecosystem .....
The question I pose in the introduction to this article is; “How will our partners deal with tokenisation considering many will be legacy businesses not supporting or caring for the latest digital technologies?” .....
The adage, ‘service globally but act locally’ best describes our recipe for growing our platform and ecosystem in support of our goals, vision and mission! Our audience is the global population which has, until now, been excluded from meaningful self-started environmentalism. Arguably, there is no greater need than a PaaS, that enables, empowers and emboldens the global population to clean-up .....
Today, environmentalism is fragmented, divided, narrowly focused and competitive. The environmental industry does not co-operate but rather competes with each other over winning of donations and producing . .....
How many concurrent environmental projects are being run simultaneously by big well-funded environment organisations? Not sure, … me either, … but it isn’t many. Imagine being able to say we are doing 100,000 or 1,000,000 clean-up projects .....
At environment4change we avoid issues of a political nature as much as possible, put something quite significant happened last week in the UK and it does bear mentioning. On April 9, 2020, the Bank of England announced it would directly fund government spending during the Covid-19 crisis. .....
The more we learn of environmental science, the more we realise how everything is interconnected. Over time, cities have become larger and so have the number of industries and vehicles burning fossil fuels that visit city locations and reside therein. Pollutants in the air all across the globe have been worsening over time .....
While we are forever optimistic and believe in the positiveness and innovativeness of humankind, we are also old enough to realise that doing the same thing over and over and expecting (praying for) a .....
Why does the World need an environment4change project? The defining difference between what the environment4change Foundation is striving for, visa-a-vis other companies and organisations in the environment.....
The environment4change project is seeing the development of a Platform as a Service (PaaS) architecture and service bundle in support of typical environmental, and humanitarian endeavours. This service .....

In the last Blog titled, “Why is plastic and plastic waste such an important topic”, we commented on the accelerating use of plastic in modern society and how it is directly linked to climate change.....
The subject of plastic and plastic waste, in particular, is not going away and rightly so. For too long we have turned a blind eye to what happens to plastic when we have finished with it and its many pathways into the environment....
Let’s be completely honest! The potential value of any business can be defined by the problem the businesses is looking to solve and the scope, depth and width of the said problem. Valuing a problem is a helpful first step, or perhaps valuing the resultant condition if nothing is done can be more telling! In the case of global environmental damage, it is made a little easier as very credible,....
This is something that has keep us up at night. Initially, this may appear to be a relatively easy question to answer, but the reality is, it is not! Given that humanity will experience, in different ways, the effects of a degradation of the environment will impact how individually,....
In a number of earlier Posts, we commented on the importance of embracing a Circular Economy and how our Platform as-a-Service can help in this process. In the Circular Economy, the aim is to eliminate waste and....
The article entitled “Singapore to give cleaners day off to alert residents to city’s waste problem” appearing in the online Eco Business publication on Monday, 18 November 2019 caught our eye....

Previous blogs posts have been around the issues of freshwater stresses. We know freshwater stress poses serious threats to human lives, livelihoods, business, economic and population stability...
In a previous writing, we reminder ourselves of the importance of water to life itself. It is amazing that humanity, all 7.7 billion of us, survive (or try to) on the 1% of water available that is fresh water...
Is humanity running out of fresh water? Is there a scarcity and water quality problem? Before we start a look at water and how important it is to humanity, let’s first remind ourselves of some important facts around it. ...

The blockchain journey, as a distributed mechanism to reach a decentralised consensus, has just began. With it, and specially in respect of our instance of a blockchain use, our focus is on how a blockchain can help open-up, distribute, ...
The question of Blockchain for us, although a critical element of our service architecture and service offer, must be ameliorated by a consideration of the technology itself and whether the technology, and its premise of being open and ...
In a blog post on 26 August 2019 entitled “Is an environmentally sound agricultural policy and feeding 10 billion people mutually exclusive?” we listed out some of the principal factors not boding well for humanity’s ability to feed itself by 2050, ...
With 7.7 billion people on the planet today, our food systems are barely coping. This “just coping” still leaves 11.6% of all humanity hungry and facing chronic food deprivation, a situation that is unbearable with an immense cost to the environment. Traditional agriculture can be ...
The team at environment4change are super excited about the future. Our excitement is borne of our understanding of just how easy, helpful and valuable our applications will be in discovering, producing and sharing ...

It is certainly not lost on the environment4change team of the critical nature of ensuring the platform economy functions in a healthy matter. All platform interactions, whether caused by a donation of ...
In a week when there has been a lot of coverage of the Apollo 11 expedition and landing on the Moon 50 years ago (on 20 July 1969), it is perhaps circumspect and prudent to consider where our shared environment may be, in 50 years-time? ...
The team at environment4change believe our Platform as a Service, marketplace and ecosystem will become definitive of the future of co-operative, aggregated and global environmentalism representing ...
It has taken more than a billion years for the varied species of flora and fauna to evolve and thrive but only two hundred years (200) or so for mankind to make a significant and everlasting...
As a foot needs a sock and a shoe for comfort and utility, a Platform as a Service (PaaS) using a strategy of community curation, needs a mechanism to reward, to give back to the community who...
Has the influence and domination of mankind over land, sea and air herald a new epoch, an epoch defined by the behaviour and effect of mankind towards planet Earth? Does the footprint of mankind...

It is the belief of the evironment4change team that if more is not done to roll back the damage, educate around new behaviours, and intervene and clean, on behalf of Mother Earth, then everything else we do, as collective inhabitants of this shared planet will mean little ...
As a species mankind has been gifted a single planet, Earth. Our shared planet has a definable set of scare resources, but mankind arguably has an undefined ability to be creative, innovative and resourceful.

The greatest gift the environment4change team can give to the Planet, as entrepreneurs, is to engineer a digital platform of inclusion, empowerment, participation, trust and transparency geared towards collecting and aggregating all the goodwill environmental effort, digitising the ecosystem and equipping all who participate with the digital ...
As our global population increases and mankind continues to spread ‘wider-a-field,’ the greater is the strain on rare and endangered habitats and the species that rely on these habitats for their well-being and procreation. The planet is subjectively shrinking but the affects and footprints of mankind are ever more noticeable and non-removable...
