You had a big part in this! I love the concept (now functionality) of steemit to bring benefits to all of us. Literally upvotes will plant trees and shrubs for steemit users.
I am toying with the idea to launch a weekly post to raise funds dedicated to local reforestation, education and awareness. What do you think? should I make it also a competition? % goes to the environmental fund and % to rewards pool. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
I still have a lot of tree saplings and endemic shrubs on the way. Your reward, 50% of which I converted into local cash (kept the SBD on my account) and got the plants ordered. I hope to post about this Sunday: "Upvote and plant a tree Sunday"
Not sure how the contest would work exactly unless you have other ppl doing it and proving it through an entry...Maybe that is an idea that could be developed.
For now, I would suggest simply launching a weekly initiative where you post about your process and how steem is helping you to do this. Take all the liquid rewards from the post and plant the trees and post about that for the next week. Just see if that can gain momentum. Then grow (excuse the pun lol) the idea from there.
You would keep the SP you get from the posts for the work you're doing which I think is fair enough, since you have to physically do the work, and plant the trees and document it etc.
I think it's a great original idea, I haven't heard of anyone else doing this yet.
hope that helps you brainstorm ;)
I agree with you on the latter suggestion and grow the idea. Plus keep it really simple, clear and transparent. Tomorrow I am picking up more with the local nursery and I will plant them on Sunday. Obviously post about it with lots of pictures and details.
I will also clearly outline how my said "benefit" is retaining the steem power and planting loads. Everything else goes toward the environmental fund. Which will be a financing mechanism to pay for the plants/planting and maintenance (watering). I will also post receipts of purchases and transactions in the name of transparency. Locked into the block-chain for ever :)
Thank you for your valued input.
My pleasure, sounds like a solid plan!
