> What it is?
This is a "project" where I decided to plant trees using the website Treedom.net with 10% of the bounties I get. You can check out all of the already planted trees in the #bugs4trees forest by clicking the button below.
Update: The project rules were active for 6 months, from 2020-05-07 until 2020-11-07, and I decided to currently not renew them. Thank you for voting and/or participating in this project in any way!
> How does it work?
tree_budget - Amount that will be used to buy trees
tree_type - A type of tree on treedom.net
available_types - Plantable tree_types, excluding last planted type
- I recieve a bounty
- 10% of the bounty will be tree_budget
- I randomly select 4 tree_types from available_types
- A poll on Twitter will be created with the 4 tree_types
- You can vote for which type of tree to plant
- After voting is over, I'll buy round_up(tree_budget / tree_type_price) amount of trees of the voted tree_type.
* since life changes, these rules will expire in 6 months, and will be open for reconsideration on 2020-11-07.
> What is Treedom?
On Treedom you can plant trees with money. This concept is not necessarily new. There are multiple things where I think Treedom differs from the rest:
- They delibaretly gamify the whole process. It's inspired by the game FarmVille.
- When you buy a tree, it's "yours". You can view it's exact location and you'll get a picute of it when it's planted. Like this one.
- It's a lot of small communities / farmers planting the trees rather then one bigger organization.
- Most of the plantable trees are fruit trees or similar, which will provide food & economic benefeits to the farmer in the future.
For more detaild infomration, you can check out the Treedom Standard and the Code of Ethics. These are the rules of for the farmers/people involved.
TLDR: I don't think it's a scam.
