Additionally, they hope to facilitate NGOs to make donations that go towards fighting climate change.<\/p>\n<p>According to the company, the Green Manifesto places freedom &#8220;at the center of the Web3 ethos&#8221; and climate change as the biggest threat to that liberty. Going carbon neutral means that every NFT minted, token bridged or DeFi trade made on Polygon will be accounted for and its environmental impact is offset.
