Shroomery.org for Trees.org: we planted 32,000 trees for 60 families sequestering over a kiloton of CO2 !! 33

Help us plant 10.000+ bountiful trees, turning deserts into biodiverse forest garden oases!
Shroomerites! As many of you know, some time ago several members of our community joined forces in generosity to dig water wells in Uganda, so successfully that there are now TEN Shroomery Water Wells in rural Africa helping over 10,000 people gain access to clean, life giving water!
Ain't that something?!
Now...
The Shroomery admin team, incredibly impressed and grateful for the spirit of giving exhibited by our community, would like to keep the ball rolling with The First Official Shroomery Donation Drive!
We're talking Trees for the Future aka Trees.org and their Forest Garden Program
We are people of the earth, and we can't have mushrooms without biodiverse forests and greener pastures.
The Forest Garden Program is a simple, replicable, and scalable approach with proven success. How? It starts with trees. Through their 4-year training program, called the Forest Garden Approach, farmers plant thousands of trees that protect and bring nutrients back to the soil. This helps farmers grow a variety of fruits and vegetables, increases their income and access to food (even in the first year!), all while improving the environment.
Many charities are all talk and no skittles, but Trees.org has been nominated by several orgs are one of the best charities for reforestation in 2021, since 2014 they have over 225 million trees planted and they are well on their way to have over 1 BILLION trees planted before 2030.
Leaf through their 2021 Impact Report to see the fantastic things they accomplish!
The gist:
Biodiverse Permaculture Agroforestry is the name of this gamechanger!
Nature benefits! People benefit! The position of women in their societies and the future of their children benefits, the good earth benefits from the right approach to the problems we all face. Check their extensive FAQ.
Sweet - how can we help?
Folks: For roughly every $0.25 donated, Trees.org can plant a tree, including a program of education and stewardship which yields considerably more than that tree alone!
We, the Shroomery, should be able to put 10,000 trees in the ground, maybe even many more than that! This is why we go sitewide, all the Shroomerites of the world for Kenya, Mali, Senegal, Uganda, Tanzania, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad and Gambia. Driving the Sahara desert back, driving climate change back, making the most of the future, not just over there where people have it hardest, but all over the world; a greener and better future for the earth and for mankind.
Ten thousand trees!
And not just that but 10,000 trees before December 15!
This we can do! 10,000 trees in 3 weeks!
And if that ain't enough, the Shroomery is going to match donations up to $2,500 as well as offering everybody who participates a free 3 month supporter account and, and!! everybody who donates over $45 gets a free Shroomery Shirt shipped anywhere in the world!
To be eligible for a free Shroomery shirt, PM Geokills (encryption possible) with a copy of your donation confirmation over $45 US, and make sure to include your t-shirt size and shipping address, anywhere in the world!
Question is, how many more than 10,000 trees can we plant?
Dear beloved Shroomery, let's help people take back the land, restoring loose sand into solid biodiversity, affecting change for decades and in fact centuries to come.
25 cents is all it takes to put a tree in the ground with your name on it. What do we get for 25 cents? Not much these days GI
Give back to Nature AND people AND make 2021 a better year!
Join us at the Team Shroomery page @ Trees.org to see the count, progress and add to it, one 25 cent tree at a time!
What better way to end this post than to link you to Trees for the Future for a closer look AND hit you with their production quality mini documentary about their approach and how it works out.
Shroomerites, Let's Make This Grand!
We've got until December 15.

Thank you!
We're excited about this, they are using a self perpetuating chain reaction to make people volunteer to plant the trees and to tend to them, and the more the nature florishes, the more they are rewarded for their efforts.
Its genius.
the environment need help the people need help the people volunteer to help the environment and themselves.
Scalable. It can be decentralized.
You can tell I'm thrilled
Its a lot BETTER than carbon credits, which are more opaque and have less utility.

Yes you can! Their Crypto Page details it.
In the FAQ they say this:
Quote:
Can I donate cryptocurrency to your organization?
Yes, you can donate your cryptocurrency! Donating cryptocurrency is a non-taxable event, meaning you do not owe capital gains tax on the appreciated amount and can deduct it on your taxes. This makes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency donations one of the most tax-efficient ways to support your favorite cause.
Visit our Crypto Page to learn more or to make a crypto donation.
I think accomp[any it with a message that ou donate towards the Shroomery team!
Shroomerites! we are $84 = 336 trees in in the first two hours and rank #16 among the teams! That's a considerable forest garden already, 336 fruit trees and the many plants and shrubs that will accompany them!

It's often really difficult to pick an organization to donate to out of the thousands that are out there, but Trees.org seems to have their sights set rightly. To empower people who suffer from food scarcity and nutritional deficit, with roots, both in the literal sense but also the complimentary roots of knowledge that will help spread these seeds through generations, time and space; this is truly a gift I can get behind!
I am grateful that the Shroomery has grown to a point where we can help by drawing attention to a cause such as this, by matching our member donations, as well as kickin' back some perks to encourage the community to get involved. I know not everyone has the means to do so, and that's nothing to feel bad about. The Shroomery for many years has run on a shoestring budget, but as we've withstood the test of time and sustained our steadfast (and quite beautiful) place on the fringes of the internet, it's just awesome that we can be able to do this sort of thing today.
Thanks to all who choose to participate, and thanks to all who may not be able to contribute financially, but nevertheless join together in this community to share your own unique brand of love and knowledge with the rest of us.
Keep it shroomy folks!

if you donate over 45$ you also get a shroomery shirt, you can also buy one from the store for like 20$ or something, but I'd rather help with the trees, just wanted to know what the shirt looks like.
It's all in the post.
