SAVAGE Enlists Paul Nicklen to Show the Green Side of Crypto

SAVAGE, a photography and videography carbon-neutral NFT marketplace, has named the acclaimed photographer and filmmaker Paul Nicklen as the contributor and advisor to the crypto-based eco-friendly project of the company.

Paul Nicklen is a Canadian photographer, filmmaker, marine biologist, and co-founder of Sea Legacy who has videographed the ecology of Earth for more than 20 years. He draws an eco-friendly life with adventure and environment and also advises conservation efforts.

His creative works have stretched to the imagination of a global audience and are acclaimed as an eminent polar specialist and conservationist in the world. He served as an assignment photographer for Sony Artisan of Imagery and National Geographic magazine.

In spite of holding petabytes of 8K video footage, Nicklen has abstained from the NFT space because he affirms his values that are incompatible with NFTs’ deleterious effects on the environment. Research by Memo Atken says that an average single-edition NFT produces a carbon footprint that equals driving a petrol car for 1,000 km. In addition, research shows NFTs minted over 6 months brought out a carbon footprint of 260-megawatt hours.

As a result, SAVAGE has decided to fraternize with the Crypto Climate Accord, Polygon Studios, and Energy Web to create a decentralized app leaving no carbon footprint.

With the support from Crypto Climate Accord and Energy Web to manage carbon and deploying the power of Polygon’s Proof of Stake (PoS) consensus blockchain, SAVAGE has designed the world’s first carbon-neutral NFT marketplace with 8K video and the highest photography resolution from renowned content creators around the world.
