We all know how beneficial it is for us to have a currency like Bitcoin , something that we can use without any interference and without any middle man, but there is always a problem with things that we usually unsee because of the huge benefits it earns to us and this time it's environmental pollution.
Bitcoin as we know it requires mining to continue it's supply , but the thing is mining consumes Tons of energy and thus makes it harder for us to cope up with the stress it is putting up on the environment.
Pollution, global warming  Bitcoin is causing all this , one might argue that it won't be necessary after a while but what about right now ? It's hurting the environment and we have no stable solution for this.
Shouldn't we focus on this too ? Rather than other things ?

Most of people agree that mining bitcoin requires or consumes huge ton of energy i.e electricity as main power to run the mining equipment. Some miners of bitcoin find them way to produce electricity from solar power that Environmentally friendly. But one of the problems that is not yet resolved is miners use air conditioner / similar equipment that contain Chlorofluorocarbon (CFC). This material can scrape the layer of Ozon (O3).
