What is the Tabs for Trees Project?
My name is Chris French and I have a passion for planting trees from seeds. Trees are necessary and beneficial for the environment. They absorb carbon, and our children. You may be interested to know that a fully mature canopy tree absorbs enough carbon and releases enough oxygen to sustain two human beings, make those food trees and they can feed them as well. I've created the Tabs for Trees project to further my mission of fighting climate change, teaching people about food and to grow forests. This project enables you to easily support through your web browser. http://www.tabsfortrees.com/
How Do We Raise Money for the Project?
By now, you've probably heard of Bitcoin. This is the same concept with the major difference being that you can easily "mine" coins through your web browser which we used 100% to grow, plant new trees. You can help support our project simply be leaving the site open and turned on. Your spare CPU cycles are used you can set your own speed. The service we use, Coin Hive, allows browser-based cryptocurrency mining. All the hashes you compute in-browser go into their pool and once a certain amount is reached Coin Hive sends us the money. Mining cryptocurrency only becomes profitable when it's done over an extended period of time with many people contributing. You might only make five cents all day, but if you spread the word and say 100,000 people are contributing that's a possible $1,825,000 for the year when you have .05 X 100,000 users X 365 days. That's a significant amount that can go a long way in helping this cause.
How We Grow Trees From Seeds Cheaply
My son, Quinn, and I recently planted our first batch of nut and fruit trees. These included almond, walnut and avocado this round. We have been able to witness the fruits of our labor because the first trees are ready and have been put in the ground. It's an exciting time indeed. Because I want to plant as many trees as possible to have a maximum positive impact, we used a tool that makes planting easy and increases the number of plantings we can accomplish and causes little disturbance to the surrounding soil. This handy little tool is the Power Planter 3"X12" DIY Guru Auger. This auger is made from heavy duty 5/8" steel and contains a non-slip hex drive. Not only is the Power Planter efficient for planting seeds, but it is also extremely durable and long-lasting. If you're interested in planting trees, bulbs, plants, you should checkout this tool. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015Z3P60/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0015Z3P60&linkCode=as2&tag=tabsfortrees-20&linkId=6e572321ef7349c529cfab3412286957%22%3EPower
Where to Plant Trees
Since we are located in the Southern California area, this is the area where we are currently focused on planting trees. However, as our project grows we will expand to other areas. The goal is to plant as many trees as we can and to grow the project exponentially. With every tree that is planted, we are reaching our goals step by step.
I want to encourage others to be as passionate about planting trees as I am. Even if you are unable to actively participate in tree-planting, we've made it easy for you to contribute to this important cause simply by keeping browser tabs open.
Please feel free to reach out to me with suggestions on how to improve and any ideas you might have.
