Here is how: Lets make our Steem Forest.

We are back planting trees after a little time away.

Today I replaced two native trees that had unfortunately died off in the last year. Over 20 others are still going. It is the rainy season here in Lobitos, Peru. Taking advantage of the rain, these tree saplings will have the best chance of taking to their new homes.

There is far too much pressure on the natural environment. Reforesting with Steem with an easy upvote is a way to offset this pressure. We all know our blockchain consumes energy to create maintain and grow. The planting of trees in areas in most of need of reforestation goes a step further.

This week I went to see @ecoswell, whom we have worked on previous plantings and got some fresh native tree saplings. @ecoswell is an operational not for profit working in Lobitos, Peru. One of their main drivers is local reforestation. They have plant hundreds and hundreds of trees. As I do more vlogs, I will be exchanging Steem/SBD for tree saplings. They developed facilities and systems to produce saplings, you upvote, then we exchange and trees are planted.

All Steem and/ or SBD for this post will be directed to @steemforest . The @steemforest handle is dedicated to the project. It's purpose is:

“Through Steem, to plant at least 1 million trees and foster broader biosphere consciousness.”

It started with planting one native tree in Northern Peru by @intrepidsurfer. The SBD rewards earned from posting on Steemit enabled us to do so. The response was phenomenal on Steemit and tree planting quickly up ticked in pace. It was quickly understood this movement is bigger than just one person. It involves everyone and Steem is the tool that enables this.
