I came to Steem as a homesteader and prepper.
My past roles in life have included environmental campaigner, community activist and penguin catcher.
Making the planet a better place is what I like to do. Most.
When I began on the platform I had hoped to find ways to use Steem to do just that.
But in the hurly burly that is life on Steem I have rather let that get pushed to one side, particularly over the past few months.
Radio shows and forums, discords and curations, upvotes and downvotes have all got in the way, and shunted my key word into my sidelines. Planet.
With my other jobs now almost done. As far as I may.
It is time to go back to the roots of the matter. And see what I can do.
Along my journey I have been discovering various environmental projects homed on Steem that I have been supporting to varying levels.
I am keen to know if I have missed any.
The projects on my 'Green List' so far include :
It may be that it is late at night and I am forgetting some.
I was sure there would be more when I started this list.
And some of these I know have gone silent in the past month or two.
Please let me know of any others that I have missed. There must be more on Steem.
This now for me raises a number of important questions...
1. What can I do to most effectively help these environmental projects that are still active on Steem?
2. Is there anything I can do to reactivate and re-energise those projects that have gone quiet in the last couple of months?
3. Is Steem a place to bring other environmental projects to right now?
4. If it is, what can we offer them on Steem that they can't get elsewhere?
5. Is anyone else interested in helping support these environmental projects?
I am going to research this some more.
Steem does feel like it should be a perfect fit for pitching in to help save the planet.
Have we missed a trick...
