Launch of Crowdfunding website going really well.

Project: WeTheTrees Crowd Funding Platform

Posted by Christian Shearer over 12 years ago

In just over a month, WeTheTrees has proven itself to be an invaluable resource to the Permaculture community

For anyone who has not heard, WeTheTrees.com launched just over a month ago. It is a crowdfunding platform focused on permaculture, sustainability, and social change. It launched like a rocket, and has been doing exceptionally well since.

WeTheTrees Click here to check it out.

In just over a month, the site now has 12 campaigns running, and has raised over $11,500 for those projects. Two campaigns have completed, with each receiving over 200% of their goal!

The outpouring of support to the site from the Permaculture community has been incredible, and rightly so, because there are such interesting projects up on the site currently. These include the ever popular Permaculture Ukulele Musical Project, which is a campaign to produce a musical album of songs dedicated to the permaculture principles. There is also the Living Soil Saves Lives Campaign, which is raising money to build soil food web labs in India. The group has previously worked with Vandana Shiva and has been encouraged to do similar in other regions of India. There is a project to build a school garden in Nepal, a sustainability project in Peru, and many others.

Come check it out. You will enjoy having a look around.

Best to all, and thanks for what you do!

andree one : Players often develop personal rituals and superstitions around the dino jump such as specific warm-up runs or particular times of day they believe yield better results. These quirky habits add a personal touch to the gaming experience and enhance its overall enjoyment.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	PRI Teacher With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable. PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
