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.. The Second Official Shroomery Donation Drive! ![]() 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 ![]() 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. Edited by Asante (12/15/22 09:47 PM)
