Quick update tonight and adding good mixed soils to the planted tree beds.  All trees are still alive and well. 

We have raised a total so far of: 

Steem- 40
SBD- 71.609
 

Outcomes to date:

• 30 native trees planted 
• 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.
• 30.332 SBD and 11 Steem held in savings until price goes 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.     

I donate 100% of the SBD earned on the reforestation posts (like  this one) to a local ngo called Ecoswell. This ngo has a reforestation   program in which they have small garden nurseries in  the village. I  donate to them and I get lots of tree saplings to   plant  myself. This  on  behalf of all you upvoters. If there is any change to this format,  as they might as this grows, I will inform everyone with a blog post on  steemit.

My first ever post about this: I won some steem on SSC, so I bought a tree and planted it.  

Upvote a tree was a seed planted in @jaybird 's Steemit Sandwich Contest
