- VeChain founder Sunny Lu urges people to ditch paper cups, saving millions of trees annually.
- Crypto analyst warns VET price faces a critical support level, impacting its sustainability as an investment.
- Both environmental and financial aspects highlight the importance of sustainability for VeChain’s future.
VeChain founder Sunny Lu highlighted the staggering environmental impact of single-use paper cups at Proof of Talk. He noted that a massive 16 billion paper cups are discarded each year, requiring the felling of 6.5 million trees.
Lu proposed a straightforward solution: If everyone made a conscious effort to avoid using paper cups, for instance by bringing a reusable mug when buying coffee, a significant positive impact could be made. Lu estimates that this could save over 3 million trees annually.
While Lu’s talk focused on environmental sustainability, the VeChain (VET) cryptocurrency community faces its own sustainability concerns, with analysts closely monitoring VET’s price. An X post from Crypto Yapper, stated that VET is testing a critical support level.
In other words, the price needs to hold above this level to maintain a positive outlook. If the price falls below, the analyst predicts a steeper decline. The tweet concludes by asking if investors still have faith in VeChain.
While the environmental and financial aspects of VeChain may seem separate, they both highlight the importance of sustainability. Reducing reliance on single-use cups promotes environmental sustainability. Similarly, for VeChain to be a sustainable investment, its price needs to remain stable.
