“Much like nature, technology finds a pathway to evolve and when innovative new ideas can be utilised to help our planet in positive ways, we should seize those opportunities. Connecting physical trees to the blockchain is a brand new way to create awareness through art and at the same time involve local communities to plant more trees, to benefit the environment. We are thrilled to be continuing our relationship with the AI, Huxley, in this endeavour and our hope is that many others will follow to continue the process of planting trees. We look forward to seeing where this collaboration will lead us in the future.”

The band pen a letter about the war in Ukraine for their social media channels:

“No peaceful nation should ever be subjected to the mindless horrors of war. No words can ever bring back the lives that are being lost, future’s that are being crushed and world’s being torn apart.

We stand with all other people in the free world in full support of Ukraine’s right to freedom. We are humbled by the extraordinary bravery and spirit of the population of Ukraine in the face of this horrific attack.

If you can, please support this appeal launched by one of our Ukranian friends to help. It’s a JustGiving campaign that will directly benefit those who need it most with humanitarian aid. Food, medicine and baby supplies for women, children and the elderly, which are being driven from dedicated warehouses that they have set up directly to those suffering.”

Nick, Simon, Roger and John
