What if? You could help grow a forest. Well you can by a simple upvote.
Before I continue I must say thank you to all of you who support the Steem Forest Initiative with your upvotes. There are sooooo many to name, but you know who you are and thank you so much for making this happen.
A big shout out this week has to also go to the following for their very generous contributions:
@lukestokes
@loveself
@theywillkillyou
Also I must must mention @artwatch for her ongoing commitment (also very talented) to making this actually happen and is the author of woody wednesday via @porn-watch. Also big mention to @pit-bullion who wrote a fund raising post to support our steem forest.
I have recently taken to writing posts that will enable reforestation in Northern Peru. Upvoted posts plant trees! Today we planted three Neem tree saplings and all thanks to Steem!
In the first step of addressing the issue of local deforestation. In partnership with Steem. I have started to plant native tree saplings around where I live. I have been able to do this with your simple upvotes. Simple.
If you liked this video, please also resteem to all your friends and spread the word.
We have raised a total so far of:
Steem- 160
SBD- 131.476
Outcomes to date:
- 33 native trees planted and 3 Neem trees.
- One local has so far joined the tree planting part of this project.
- 480 Peru Soles donated to EcoSwell not for profit: forwarded to their reforestation program.
- 90.195 SBD and 131 Steem held in savings until price goes up and helps for accounting (check my wallet)
- Creation of carbon offset directly derived for all Steem activities (takes a lot of energy to propel Steem).
- Building a socio-enviromental aware community platform on Steemit.
Almost 50 SBD and counting raised from my Raffel to support your cause my man 👍

Resteemed to get you some more exposure. I love the attention to detail you put into everything, including ensuring the trees you plant will improve the environment instead of cause it harm. Your commitment to cut it down yourself if a problem ever arises is pretty cool. :)

Bru this is really appreciated and it is amazing to see how many people are helping out. Quite incredible really. I have worked in parks for years (Cape Verde, Mali, Mozambique and Yemen) and these little details can have huge consequences..even if initially well intentioned. The tree seems to have other purposes as produces a natural insecticide. Plus it grows well in places like here. I did quite a bit of research on the subject for Neem, but I couldn't see any issues. I will keep a watch though. The steem forest will be all native plants though.

Love this. So much deforestation going on! It is so sad to see. Here in Cambodia, the illegal deforestation is even controlled by the army! Not so long ago trucks were stopped at the Cambodia-Vietnam border with illegal wood and it was all trucks from the army who supposedly should stop these practices!

I am stoked you like that we are creating the steem forest. Sad to hear about where you are based, but I assure you it happens in more places than you think. It can get quite complicated dependent on perspective.

Hey @intrepidsurfer! Started following you since you met up with Dan as we follow @world-travel-pro, but didn't know you were doing this initiative. This is a great project and we will continue to back it up with an upvote on your posts going forward! It's only a matter of time before you reach your goal! :)

It helps so so much. I am going to initiate the liquidation of my savings wallet in a phased process. I need to get cracking with the steem forest, regardless the price. Bru, couldn't have done it without you.

I am glad too. I just posted a steem forest giveaway. 3 steem in the pool for people who plant a tree and post about it. I am following your lead by giving something back to the steem community. Each in our own way.

Great initiative, @intrepidsurfer! Will any non-profits send you trees from that area? I know the Arbor Day foundation will send free trees, but it might only be good in the US. Keep up the great work!
