"...because the environmental effect that I heard about."
You are so right. When I first mentioned 
HIVE to someone off-chain, their immediate response was to send me this link, which is about an entirely different blockchain altogether, but also named "Hive", which has been buying up green energy production sites in the USA for running their crypto-mining venture. I had to reassure that person that our HIVE blockchain is nothing to do with that.
