Yeah, I was wondering, is there any serious environmental groups that currently accepts bitcoins?
Could be quite good for them as they wouldn't have to deal with fees from the payment processors used for donations!

I emailed Greenpeace about it a while ago. At that point they were not interested in adopting it.

Because it's easy to use and not controlled by governments? No transaction fees?
It's not that bad for the environment if the electricity used is renewable.

Good god, imagine the press meltdown.

An environmental group financed by the single most environmentally destructive and waistful operation in the history of mankind besides Little Boy, Fat Man, Fukushima and Chernobyl . That would go over well.

It would be completely contradictory for an environmental group to adopt crypto.  Unless it's something that's not being mined.  The amount of electricity and thus resources wasted for the mining process, is not something they are going to support.
