Giving Back: Official Shroomery Small Change for BIG CHANGE swap! *$25,545 = 100,000+ trees!* * 21
    #28061108 - 11/20/22 04:04 AM (1 year, 2 months ago)

Shroomerites the world over!

Here I'm sitting under a Shroomery blanket, mid november, trying to hold off heating my house for a bit longer. Times have been perilous lately for many, and for some more than others.
And, of course, for some much much more than others, we cannot even imagine.

Remember those 32,000 fruit trees we planted last year, for the good of the planet, mother nature, and many of those people facing much more dire times than most of us? Those trees will feed tens of thousands of people for generations to come.





Maybe we should do it again, in fact, yes! let's by all means do it again, put together some quarters we can spare and plant fruit trees for $0.25 each in..


:cheer: The Second Official Shroomery Donation Drive! :cheer:


We're talking Trees for the Future 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 2022, since 2014 they have over 278 million trees planted and they are well on their way to have over 1 BILLION trees planted before 2030.

Leaf through their 2022 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 a significant number of trees in the ground. 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, and this towards the end of this fateful year.

Thousands of trees, binding the soil, fruits, cuttings, seeds!

Lets see how many we can plant before December 15!

Let's give it our best in those 3 weeks!

And if that isn't enough, the Shroomery is going to match donations up to $500, every donation of $50 receives a year's supporter account, and a donation of $100+ a $30 Swag.Haus discount!!

Please make your donations on our trees.org action page, if you wish to partake in the giveaways please take a screenshot of your donation receipts and PM them to Geokills or email them to mike@shroomery.org

Quite unexpectedly, a longterm Shroomery member who wishes to stay anonymous came forward with the incredibly generous offer to match donations up to $10,000 - and he put words into action by donating $2,500 on the spot, which kicks off this campaign with a giant leap forward!

How many more trees can we plant than the ones already standing?

Dear beloved Shroomery, let's help people take back the land, restoring loose sand into solid biodiversity, affecting change for decades and in fact generations and centuries to come.

Trees are planted, a lasting mark is made on the people and their environment, don't underestimate it.

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 :smirk:

Give back to Nature AND people AND make 2022 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!


Our action page from last year is still active, so let us drop our contributions there and drive up further the sum of what we've raised! Every single cent helps when its $0.25 a tree, skip a Starbucks, plant 20 trees. Whether you give or not, can or can't, will or won't, we're a fantastic bunch of people and will take that awesomeness into the new year on the horizon.

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.

Suppose you're plugging your pipe with a third of a $9 gram of weed, that's $3 right there, $3 towards 3 hours of wellbeing. Not bad huh?

Now imagine you plug your pipe with 2/3 of that, thus being decently high and having a dollar to spare, which you donate towards Trees to keep it green.

Lets say Trees. org consults their species list and plants 4 coconut trees for it.

Coconut trees produce a whole lot of coconuts!





Your 4 coconut trees will yield 200-600 coconuts per year. Coconuts, you can use the coco coir for all sorts of things, you can burn the shells as fuel for cooking, the juice is so nutritious you shouldnt drink too much of it, the flesh is not just yummy and sundried is storable as copra, but you can press coconut oil from it, a near ideal frying oil.

Coconuts are like potatoes, if you let them sit too long they sprout inevitably, because they got all they need in the nut, and then you have coconut seedlings, ready to plant!





Coconut trees can live 100 years but are maximally productive for 10-20.


all that for $1 !



one problem though, i didnt inhale :P so I just donated the $3 instead and let the farming family decide what to do with 600-1800 = 3 dozen wheelbarrows of coconuts every year :grin:


3 dollars?! it just got doubled by the Shrromery AND our mystery benefactor so its 12 dollars, 2400-7200 coconuts a year, my God who'll think of the children?! We do, and of the enviroment too, that's why we do it: a better world with or without us.





Make us proud friends!

Gopher, whatever you need to do, and want to do, its all good :hug:

Many of us are having a financially tight year, its hard to take on an extra expense, which is why we're asking small change from those who can and will spare it, not the ambitious goal of 10,000 trees of last year

As you saw, a quarter translates to 50-150 coconuts a year so, every dime counts.

Do as you want and feel good about it, its all good.

Let those who can and want to, do.


EDIT:  First drops of the rain are coming in, bless you both :hug:

There's two kinds of people: people who like it, whatever it is, and people who invest themselves in it, even if only a dime.
You're awesome, more awesome than you sometimes feel :hug:

In their father Samuel’s Forest Garden, opportunity for Kelvin, Mary and Phylis grows on trees! 🌱

Thank you for #PlantingChange for a sustainable and safe future – for Samuel's kids and so many more!

just look at the robustness of the forest garden, hoe green the green and tall the trees! I don't think that's a MAGA cap but they are definitely making Kiambu, Kenya great again, and a wall of fruit trees makes that possible.




Everybody wins with this. Invest yourself in the green revolution!

You are quite welcome!

The first $500 gets quadruped

then, up to $10K, gets doubled

is my understanding!


Last year we did 32,000 trees (actually more) which are taken care of by 60 families, a typical fam,ily like this:





and those trees grow fast and end up feeding tens of thousands of people.

What usually happens, a farming family has success with a forest garden, they attract relatives to come help out, profit is good, they decide they want a second forest garden so they expand, and the ball rolls.

not just from last time.. we had our score of last time, and the amazingly generous Shroomerite who will match up to 10K already donates $2500, in unprecedented generosity that will have lasting consequences in a place where it matters most.

Rusty and Jay, you two too thanks a metric kiloton, and i say kiloton because last years trees will sequester a kiloton of CO2, turning it into fruits, nuts, all good things trees have to offer!

Trees for the Future says:

Where we work

Trees for the Future (TREES) is currently working with thousands of farming families across nine countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Over our 30+ year history, we’ve worked around the globe. In 2014, we focused our work in select African countries, where the climatic and economic challenges were most pressing and we could make the greatest impact.

Decades of unsustainable agriculture practices have resulted in degraded and unproductive land; nutrient-scarce food systems; and farming families who are unable to grow and sell enough to meet their most basic needs. Using the Forest Garden Approach in semi-arid countries like Senegal, we’ve proven that agroforestry is a solution to each of these challenges, effectively ending hunger and poverty while restoring the land and environment.

You guys are fantastic and a good number of you aren't longterm members yet full of Shroomery spirit :rainbowcloud:


So far, 9 Shroomerites donated a total of $270, which quadrupled comes out to $1080 so on the first day we broke the first thousand!

There is still $230 that can be donated and be quadrupled by the two doublings, so who will help us up the ante? Doesnt have to be much!



TREES is doing good!!

You joined the team and kicked off your fundraiser linked to ours without any word to us before or after, generally teams work more as a team.

I'm taken aback because in charitable activities in the past i've seen tons of bad faith activity, it has me alert.

I want to thank everyone for their generosity, and I will up the ante by dropping a 50 on 200 more fruit trees.

Just ate a juicy pear - some of the best things in life grow from trees :yesnod:

On its 25th year, the Shroomery has its silver anniversary!

How better to celebrate than scoring silver at trees.org!






But we don't pack our bags and settle for second best, no, we're going for gold.

Let's do it, and let's do it grand!

An anonymous member dropped over 100 dollars just now :wooyeah:

Every bit counts, every cent, every satoshi, every seed.

Let's plant the seed!

here at the beginning of a new forest garden.

Nine hours and still open!





Last year I was told that a forest garden had an all-in cost of about $1K to train the farmer into sustainable agroforestry and get the whole place planted and going. From the day they start their training they start working the land and planting so that when the training completes, their own forest garden is waiting for them. At first told what to do, after the course thery know what to do and can teach others, which too is profitable.

Ultimately its in our best interest that all of us are doing well.

Agroforestry explained as a superior business model for farmers:





you gotta remember, at the very beginning of agriculture was the delkiberate planting of fruit and nut trees, providing the highest nutritional yield for your expense of efforts exerted.

Humanity began as tree planters.

25 cents plants a tree!
