What is Dogecoin?
Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency created by software engineers Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, who decided to create a payment system as a joke, making fun of the wild speculation in cryptocurrencies at the time. Despite its satirical nature, some consider it a legitimate investment prospect. Dogecoin features the face of the Shiba Inu dog from the "Doge" meme as its logo and namesake. It was introduced on December 6, 2013, and quickly developed its own online community.Dogecoin has become the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
Dogecoin runs on blockchain technology, similarly to Bitcoin and Ethereum. Blockchain is a distributed, secure digital ledger that stores all transactions made using a decentralized digital currency. All holders carry an identical copy of the Dogecoin blockchain ledger, which is frequently updated with all new transactions in the cryptocurrency. Like other cryptocurrencies, Dogecoin’s blockchain network uses cryptography to keep all transactions secure.
Dogecoin may be used for payments and purchases, but it’s not a very effective store of value. This is chiefly because there is no lifetime cap on the number of Dogecoins that may be created by mining - meaning that the cryptocurrency is highly inflationary, by design. Today Dogecoin is no joke, having exploded in value and gained more than 5,000% in 2021.

▪️GREEN GOOD DEEDS CAMPAIGN
It was launched by the MOEFCC Ministry to sensitize the people and students, in particular, about climate change and global warming.
It‘s a people-oriented campaign. The plan is to broad-base it with the involvement of teachers, students and other voluntary organizations
▪️Nitrogen for Life
A campaign on sustainable nitrogen management called “Nitrogen for Life” was launced alongside Colombo Declaration
▪️ “Wood is Good” Campaign
The Union Ministry of Environment and Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has launched “Wood is Good” Campaign under Partnership for Land Use Science (Forest-Plus).
It was launched on sidelines of two-day conference on “Sustainable landscapes and forest ecosystems: Theory to Practice” in New Delhi.
The purpose of campaign is to promote wood as climate-friendly resource and substitute to materials like steel and plastic as it is carbon neutral unlike others materials which leave carbon footprint in their production

✅Biofuels: an opportunity for India
Bio fuel
•✅ Bio-fuels are a source of energy derived from the conversion of carbon-fixing biomass
through thermal, chemical or biochemical processes.
✅• Their popularity arises from the fact that they are cheaper and less environmentally
polluting than fossil fuels.
✅• 1st generation bio fuel- Directly using the food crops like wheat and sugar for making
ethanol and oil seeds for bio diesel by conventional method of fermentation. These fuels
emitted more greenhouse gases.
✅• 2nd generation bio fuel- Non-food crops and feedstock instead of food crops. Example:
Wood, grass, seed crops, organic waste etc.
✅ • 3rd generation bio fuel- Use specially engineered Algae whose biomass is used to convert
into biofuels. The greenhouse gas emission here will be low in comparison to others.
✅4th generation bio fuel- are aimed at not only producing sustainable energy but also a way of
capturing and storing co2.
Topic- GS-3- Infrastructure: Energy, Ports, Roads, Airports, Railways etc.
