DESCRIPTION:

FISHERS, Ind., September 30, 2021  /3BL Media/ - Land Betterment Corporation (“Land Betterment” or the “Company”), an environmental solutions company fostering positive impact through upcycling former coal mining and industrial sites to create sustainable community development and job creation, is innovating environmentalism with its Land Betterment Exchange (LBX) Crypto Token.

The LBX Token is an ERC-20 token written off the Ethereum framework that flips the narrative on how to incentivize the cleanup of abandon environmental liabilities.  This is the first cryptocurrency to channel investment funds into land reclamation and harness these investment dollars providing positive economic incentives. Prior to the LBX Crypto Token, the system and only solution was a negative-based model which fines or penalizes companies to try to force them to clean up the environment. One of the inefficiencies of this model is that many of the penalized companies are distressed or even bankrupt as our energy mix transitions away from fossil fuel. Companies therefore have historically done the bare minimum of environmental remediation.  Additionally, with a high number of bankruptcies, there is a massive funding gap to actually repair the scarred land left behind from fossil fuel mining or drilling operations.  With over $15 billion of estimated fossil fuel-related environmental liabilities outstanding, it’s clear and apparent that the current model has not worked and can no longer be relied upon to fix this growing problem. 

Mark Jensen, Executive Chairman of Land Betterment Corporation commented, “LBX Tokens focus on not only delivering environmental progress, but also developing auditable, verifiable, and agreed-upon procedures to facilitate monitoring and accounting for land reclamation work being completed to remedy the harmful environmental impacts of the fossil fuel industry.  By reversing the current system, based on fines and penalties, which clearly has not worked, the LBX Token program is the first-ever program that truly incentivizes the environmental cleanup of  impacted lands from the fossil fuel industry through an innovative, non-fiat, free market approach, while also accelerating a smoother transition away from fossil fuels.”

How it works

Instead of a negative incentive model, LBX utilizes a positive-based incentive reward system for successfully completed environmental reclamation of impacted lands.  Essentially, as the environmental work is finalized, LBX Tokens are earned and issued to the party that does the work, has applied for such tokens and has been approved at a rate of one token per $250 of environmental cleanup completed.  LBX Tokens will soon trade on well-established crypto exchanges, which will establish a market price for each token for value and monetization. In addition to incentivizing companies to actively remediate impacted lands, a fungible, transparent token will also incentivize third-party sponsors to participate and help fund additional cleanup of environmental liabilities.

Aside from normal cryptocurrency market demand dynamics, crypto investors can benefit from several unique attributes LBX Tokens offers, including:

  • Total issuance of LBX Tokens will be capped at 80 million tokens to control total dilution

  • LBX Tokens will create a transparent and secure market while placing a value on the environment

  • Increase interest, awareness and acceptance of cryptocurrencies with environmentalists

  • Establish a fundamentally driven cryptocurrency that is aligned with the environment
