Why do we always pass env around?

[llllllluc]

env is always passed from execute and query to the specific execute / query functions, but barely used. Can we just skip passing env?

We can not skip passing it. Because you have to comply with the interface. env includes:

pub struct Env { 
    pub block: BlockInfo, 
    pub transaction: Option<TransactionInfo>, 
    pub contract: ContractInfo,
}

If you wish, you can use them in your smart contract.
