So I came across theses videos and had to share

From Planet Wild, and if you comment on their video before the end of the year they will plant an extra tree for your comment



From Andrew Millison, and if you comment on his video before the end of the year Planet Wild will plant an extra tree for your comment



That's a tree for a comment on the video, if you comment on both that's 2 trees

I knew Andrew down in AZ before he moved to Oregon, I learned that what I have been doing all my life had a name Permacultlure. He had been at the same community (Arcosanti) as me, just a little before me but I used to go to Prescott to hangout with him.

I'm going to go right now and comment on those videos

Many thanks for posting Devin, I couldn't pass up these videos and the opportunity to contribute more trees, and to learn a bit more of how we all can support in practical ways in our own communities as well. I wish we had such a mission here in Australia.

The whole centre of our country is desert, so much could be done. We've ignored Aboriginal wisdom on how to treat the land, and keep bringing in more immigrants skilled in computer technology but not food production to healthily feed them, just expansion of monocultures that benefit no-one but big agriculture corporations, supermarket bigwigs and the stock markets!  

Thanks to supermarket treatment of farmers we have had our biodiversity and our health compromised, as to earn a living farmers are forced to only grow what suits our food distribution chain.

Please, if you can't grow yourself within your community, then buy from small producers, save what seed you can from their products and give them back or share within your area. Don't just hit like, or share, take some responsibility for yourself for your families and be a doer.  This is a great program that could be duplicated almost anywhere, not just Africa and you have a whole heap of innovative permies on here, many who are not just looking out for themselves, but whole communities - just love this site, what a great post. A permie from OZ

So I've sent links to all my friends and family. Hopefully it will help get more trees planted.

I hope everyone who wanted commented on these videos because now we have the cut off and they wont plant a tree for your comment. Of course the videos are still amazing and if you have something to say then great.
