Local communities from Texas to New York to Indiana to Kentucky and beyond have all raised the alarm.

Bitcoin mining is immensely dirty and harms local communities.

It's time to listen to them.

This coal plant in Indiana will stay open, and it will be fueling Bitcoin mining. Hoosiers deserve better.

Bitcoin is likely consuming 2200 GL of water in 2023.

The traditional financial system (bank notes, bank branches, ATMs, cashless transactions) combined consumes close to 1800 GL of water a year.

There's no good reason for this amount of waste.

👏 There is no technical reason we can’t #CleanUpBitcoin and make almost all the electricity, water, emission, and e-waste problems disappear overnight.

Wall Street giants have backed the expansion of #Bitcoin mining in rural Georgia.

Residents have gotten noise pollution, environmental pollution, and unmet promises 👇

The total annual water footprint of US Bitcoin miners could be equivalent to 🏘️ 300,000 US households.

🤯 That's comparable to all of Washington, D.C.

Wow. This is why we need banks and financial institutions to back the call to #CleanUpBitcoin.

💡 If Bitcoin's code was changed, all the immense electricity waste and associated water use would disappear overnight.

🌎 We face the looming threat of a global water crisis, and are well into the middle of a global climate crisis.

Bitcoin burns massive amounts of fossil fuels, polluting our air and draining massive amounts of water. Yes we need to #CleanUpBitcoin.

“all the electricity consumption, associated water consumption, that will just disappear overnight. You know, we can make it happen,”

✅ It’s VERY possible to #CleanUpBitcoin!

The higher the price, the more incentive there is to ramp up Bitcoin mining. This is why we need to #CleanUpBitcoin and tackle the root cause: an immensely wasteful code.

[Change The Code @CleanUpBitcoin]

The fact that a single Bitcoin transaction can use up a whole swimming pool of water tells you all you need to know about its impact on our water system.

[Change The Code @CleanUpBitcoin]

A pollution-spewing coal plant scheduled to shut down, now given new life to do #Bitcoin mining.

This is terrible news for the people of Indiana, and why we need to value local communities over Bitcoin miner profits.

What happens when BTC price rises and more mining happens? Even MORE water waste.

[Change The Code @CleanUpBitcoin]

The higher the price of Bitcoin, the more incentive there is to ramp up mining.

More mining = more air pollution + water waste

There is so much potential climate destruction that can be prevented if we #CleanUpBitcoin.

The truth remains the same: the biggest beneficiaries of Bitcoin mines end up being mining companies’ executives, owners and investors who don’t live in the community.

🚩 Local residents are given pollution, strained infrastructure, and higher utility prices.

Yep. It’s time to #CleanUpBitcoin to save our climate.

🌊 Every Bitcoin payment uses a swimming pool of water.

Yes, you read that right.

We can #CleanUpBitcoin to prevent this totally unnecessary waste and climate damage.
