There are blockchain platforms that power NFTs that have very little environmental harm like Tezos and Solano. Also Ethereum 2.0 is rolling out in his year and that has a focus on being environmentally friendly. 

Even when applied at an extremely large scale? Anyway, I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe blockchain technology will be more sustainable in the future, but until we're there, I'm against it. If we ever get to a suistainable point, we can start talking about actual use cases more seriously (which I'm not optimistic about, mind you, because there isn't much NFTs can do that hasn't been possible for a long time already).

Sustainable blockhain platforms are used in a large scale. For example Tezos last year carbon footprint was equal to that of the average footprint of 17 people and they had 33 million transaction last year.

Solano last year had 20 billion transactions and energy usage equate to 1038 American households. BTW one solano transaction takes 65 times less energy than play 1 minute of a video game on the Playstation 5.
