thank you @lukestokes for the heads up with the difference in values for both Steem and SBD.
This is quite an important find actually and will mean a greater positive impact derived from steem. Means I can contribute to more reforestation in Northern Peru.
I have been working in international development (tourism and protected areas) for over 10 years. Long story short. I see steem as a radical new was of fund raising for worthy causes and projects. People simple click the upvote and voila! some funds raised at no cost.
Just over a month ago I planted one tree on behalf of Steemit. Just thought I could give something back and reduce our carbon foot print. Well I post about it and the feedback I got was amazing. I am now at my 6 post about it and I donate all the SBD to a local not for profit here in the village (northern peru). They give me tree saplings to plant and I plant.
I would like to increase my visibility for these posts, but even with well structured and detailed posts, at this stage may not bear fruit. What do you think? If you are interested please check out my posts on me planting trees for an upvote. I have just made my first ever steemit video and posted it yesterday.
Thank you.
If you're looking for advice on how to grow your audience and support, maybe this post will help.
Not really. Investors create all the value we see here in the rewards pool. Someone pays. If you can convince investors your project (which I think is really cool!) will increase the value of their investment and/or provide value in the world they want to support, you may get more involvement. It will take time. Maybe years. Don't expect overnight success and don't compare yourself to others who have been doing stuff for a decade or more.
Good luck!
Oh mate you are a legend! I just had my first ever steemit meet. It was in the Peruvian desert with @world-travel-pro . He gave a lot insight and motivation about what I was doing. He mentioned how you too are such a positive impact on so many levels. I can now see why!
Thank you ever so much for the upvote. Next blog everyone gets a mention for their upvote. I also include donation slips and legal receipts of the donations. I think total transparency goes without question and it is locked into the steem blockchain.
I totally agree with you, this isn't an over night process and I focus on what I am doing. But I am clearly seeing the extraordinary potential of steem. The potential to do so much good and positive change. Like simply planting more trees.
Again thank you.

It sounds like a great project. I followed to hopefully catch some of your posts in my feed now again. I love supporting people who want to make the world a better place and planting trees is an excellent step in that direction.
