Environmental Impacts of Engineering

Mangoes are a traditional summer happiness but many components of their production process are extremely damaging to the environment. Using nitrogen fertilizer and Styrofoam packaging, planting in monocultures and requiring extensive irrigation all contribute to a detrimental environmental impact. However, avoiding packaging and purchasing mangoes through a blockchain-based platform will help us minimize some of their negative environmental impacts and enjoy them more ethically[41].
