Environmentally friendly ADA /Cardano blockchain NFTs
NFTs are making noble strides in compensating artists. And yet all too often, their environmental impact is too large. The Cardano/ADA blockchain ecosystem, with its “Proof of Stake (POS)” mining method allows for more environmentally-conscious NFTs than does the Ethereum/ETH blockchain “Proof of Work” mining methods. Thus fine art landscape photographers, as well as other artists, will be drawn towards creating Cardano NFTs. Various studies have shown that Cardano/ADA is 7,000 to 14,000 to 28,000 times more efficient than Ethereum/ETH, thusly leading to a far, far smaller carbon footprint.
Our mission is to promote environmentally-friendly methods of creating NFTs.

The Hare (ETH) and the Tortoise (ADA)
One of the major themes of Wyoming Iliad is that art, poetry, and mythology present us with a vast and resounding beauty that CARDANO/ADA has tapped into. AESOP’S FABLES: A HARE (ETHEREUM/ETH) one day ridiculed the short feet and slow pace of the Tortoise (CARDANO/ADA), who replied, laughing: “Though you be swift as the wind, I will beat you in a race.” The Hare (ETHEREUM/ETH), believing her assertion to be simply impossible, assented to the proposal; and they agreed that the Fox should choose the course and fix the goal. On the day appointed for the race the two started together. The Tortoise (CARDANO/ADA) never for a moment stopped, but went on with a slow but steady pace straight to the end of the course. The Hare (ETHEREUM/ETH), lying down by the wayside, fell fast asleep. At last waking up, and moving as fast as he could, he saw the Tortoise (CARDANO/ADA) had reached the goal, and was comfortably dozing after her fatigue.
Slow but steady wins the race.
Minting NFTs on the Cardano blockchain will use a tiny percentage of the energy currently required when minting NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain.
