How much trash do you throw away every day? Most people don’t think about it because as soon as the trash gets taken out, it’s out of sight. Some items get recycled, but most items go straight to the landfill. We live in a consumer society where everything is disposable.

If you’re wondering what NFTs are, you’re not alone. News outlets have been reporting companies selling their own NFTs or people creating their own art NFTs, and some of them are quite expensive. How can you not be wondering? So, what is an art NFT? First, an NFT is a non-fungible token. But what does that mean, you ask? To put it simply, “Non-fungible” means it’s unique and can’t be replaced by something else. For example, pennies are fungible. If we trade pennies, we each still have the same thing.
