So I've talked a bit about reforestation on this blog. A few posts ago, I wrote about Plant22.com, my super-secret project to sell American-made products to support reforestation.
A lot of talk, right?
Actually, I've been doing it. And that's why I haven't had much time to chat about reforestation. In fact, I did a bit more than I promised. In fact, created a card game that teaches about building your own food forest. And I've been selling it online for 2 years now, raising money for reforestation. Through this fundraising, we have already donated thousands of dollars to reforestation - basically all of the profits we've raised after taxes and expenses. Last year I donated so much that the company took a loss. My accountant was not impressed!
So why haven't you heard anything more about it on this blog? I don't really know. I guess it's because I've been so darned busy with the project. In fact, I really thought I had announced it here but it turns out I had not!
The most direct way to support reforestation is still through organizations like The Eden Reforestation Projects. But the Food Forest Card Game offers people a great way to learn about food forests, buy a responsible game, or do a little environmentally responsible birthday or Christmas shopping. The game includes as much recycled content as possible, is produced locally (7 miles from my Rhode Island home) with renewable energy, and is shipped in recycled/compostable packaging.
