Today marks the 52nd year of this important holiday–and we couldn’t be more excited about this year’s theme, “Invest in the Planet.” So far, 47 [sustainability-focused companies](~/AAQRxQA~/RgRkRWukP0SjaHR0cHM6Ly9yZXB1YmxpYy5jb20vdGFnL3N1c3RhaW5hYmlsaXR5P3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9cmVwdWJsaWMuY28mdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249YnJvYWRjYXN0X21haWxlciZ1dG1fY29udGVudD1lYXJ0aC1kYXlfaGlnaGxpZ2h0XzFfMyZ1dG1fdGVybT1lYXJ0aGRheVcDc3BjQgpiYaXmYmK54tmRUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAc4~) have raised capital on Republic… and there are several more raising as we speak. From forward-thinking energy solutions, to sustainable healthcare and more, we think there’s something for everyone. Check out these eco-friendly companies [here](~/AAQRxQA~/RgRkRWukP0SjaHR0cHM6Ly9yZXB1YmxpYy5jb20vdGFnL3N1c3RhaW5hYmlsaXR5P3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9cmVwdWJsaWMuY28mdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249YnJvYWRjYXN0X21haWxlciZ1dG1fY29udGVudD1lYXJ0aC1kYXlfaGlnaGxpZ2h0XzFfMyZ1dG1fdGVybT1lYXJ0aGRheVcDc3BjQgpiYaXmYmK54tmRUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAc4~). We also have some special programming lined up from our crypto team that you won’t want to miss. For the past few years, there’s been a prevailing myth that cryptocurrencies are inherently bad for the environment. That’s because Bitcoin mining rigs consume a lot of electricity–about as much as Finland does annually, in fact. But there's more to the story. When you take a closer look, you’ll find that the crypto industry is actually more carbon neutral than our country’s overall average. There’s also plenty of evidence that crypto actively incentivizes a global shift towards renewable energy. We’re excited to present a no-holds-barred debunking of crypto’s bad ecological rep by Graham Friedman, the Director of Republic Crypto.

We recently launched an initiative to raise funds for the State Emergency Services of Ukraine, an organization that provides life support systems–like food, water, and electricity–to the victims of this unprecedented humanitarian crisis. Here are a few quick updates: First batch of funds sent to SES Ukraine We were able to send the first tranche of funds raised to SES Ukraine. The $36,500 raised so far will be used to buy lifesaving fire equipment for first responders in Ukraine and to aid fire departments’ ability to reach those in need. NFT production is underway Everyone who donates to our fundraising efforts will receive a NFT symbolizing the rebuilding of Ukraine. We expect to send the NFTs to our donors at the end of this month.
