Read stories of suicide attempts, deaths in the family, a guitar making contest on Steemit, a tutorial for growing pineapples, life lessons learned, and a new writing contest! The earnings next to each post reflect what I sent in tips from @tipu to reward helping me find the best posts to feature here!
$20 Would you please read this post by @klye because we just lost a member of Steem to suicide and @klye's story shows most clearly why Steem is so exciting for the chance to share our truth at https://steemit.com/suicide/@klye/you-aren-t-alone-things-can-get-better-and-i-m-still-here-for-you-if-needed. Thank you to @davedickeyyall for recommending this post in upvotable 30 which earned him and @klye $10 tips! My suicide attempts and recovery are detailed in Speaker Meeting 2017! Chapter 3: Alcohol and Speaker Meeting 2017! Chapter 2: Sex with even more coming in the emotions chapter.
$20 @stillgideon builds handmade guitars and would like to give one away on Steem while documenting the entire process of building it! Will you help support this project as seen at https://steemit.com/music/@stillgideon/eco-travel-guitar-project-your-chance-to-win-a-one-of-a-kind-handmade-travel-guitar-ecotrain with upvotes on the new posts? I gave a full upvote plus 10 SBD to support the project to @stillgideon along with $10 more to @likedeeler for recommending this post in the comments on upvotable 30. I saw this post first because it had the most upvotes on the comments after 48 hours!
$20 @kalopsia reveals an inspiringly honest and challenging journey during the last few years of his life in his first post here on Steem at https://steemit.com/life/@kalopsia/my-introductory-story-on-steemit-life-death-poetry-and-the-search-for-tranquility. With the deadline to upvote already past, @kalopsia receives a 10 SBD tip and @barrysamways receives another $10 for comment in upvotable 30 which recommended this post!
$20 @gardenbsquared shows us how easy it is to grow our own pineapples at https://steemit.com/gardening/@gardenbsquared/pineapples-how-to-grow-your-own earning $10 SBD plus the upvote based on the recommendation from @bolaamir who also earns $10 for the comment in upvotable 30
$20 @ascharya shares what she has learned in 31 years of life at https://steemit.com/life/@ascharya/important-lessons-that-life-has-taught-me. With this post being over two months old, I chose to send a $10 tip instead of an upvote because the upvote would not give any money at this point. What I hope to show with this post especially is for authors to think LONG TERM with posts. While I do make some posts intended to get the highest number of upvotes, the majority of the posts I do are intended to be helpful indefinitely and to be found by people searching in Google and recommending on other social media websites. Focusing just on earnings misses the majority of opportunity on Steemit and many of the authors I followed the most converted me on a post older than a week as with this one. @kelvanis also earns 10 SBD for referring me to the author on another post which also shows the power of continuing to write combined with making amazing posts. While readers may discover a new post first, the older posts often convert a first time reader into a follower.
$10 @mikepm74 just gave me an idea for how to expand upvotable at https://steemit.com/contest/@mikepm74/plain-mike-s-creative-writing-challenge-20sbd-pot-picture-prompt-1 earning him $10!
$10 @inquiringtimes shows a powerful post interview format discussing Steemit abuse at https://steemit.com/steemit-help/@inquiringtimes/support-those-working-to-expose-abuse-and-save-the-rewards-pool-part2-featuring-sherlockholmes-and-paulag. @mikepm74 referred this post earning him $10 SBD!
$120 paid to authors and curators!
Earn $10 by writing an amazing post like the authors featured here did and by sharing a post written by another author in the comments on this post! In upvotable 30 we did an amazing job with upvoting the best posts because I check the posts in order of upvotes.
Will you help us do this again in upvotable 32 by sharing the best posts here and reviewing the comments along with upvoting the best recommendations because this is the best way I know of to help inspire our most enthusiastic authors and curators to keep showing up here every day like I do?
Love,
Jerry Banfield

Great stuff, as always! I love how you seem to bring in such a diverse range of topics!
For the next upvotable i would like to recommend a post by @kiaraantonoviche who is trying a zero waste challenge and blogging it.. Not an easy task and worth some attention!
https://steemit.com/homesteadslackers/@kiaraantonoviche/plastic-free-zero-waste-challenge-day-one
Yes @eco-alex, this is certainly an important topic, how to reduce waste in general and plastic in particular.
Also the whole homestaeding idea, Kiara is posting about, is a worthy cause to be supported here.
SUCCESS Alex! This post will be included in upvotable 32 earning you a $10 SBD tip!
Thats great news! Thank you for supporting great authors AND curators!
Great post!
We all do need to reduce the amount of plastic we use if completely cutting it out isn't possible. Really the factories need to be using non-plastic containers, that would really make a difference.
@jerrybanfield i'm surprised on some of your posts for today and your guideline rules. Above 60 reputation post and introduceyourself post. You also said you will give priority to discovered users with less than 10 sbd highest reward. There is none. I also noticed that many posts are upvoted by the same persons again and again. Maybe because they are friends or from the same group and i wish they also checked other posts. Ecotrain is great and i support that but please check other posts too. There is also potential risk that authors make other accounts and upvote with them. There is at least 3 groups of authors with upvotes from the same accounts in upvotable 30 and 29. Please check all posts. I checked all posts on your previous upvotable and tried to help you with 110 checked posts with my upvotes and comments on some i think they are good enough. Some authors have much steempower and with their 1 vote they can get on top so they have advantage against some good posts at the bottom. With this strategy it's less likely to discover new awesome users with no steempower and if we don't discover them they will maybe leave. Please check all posts or ask some neutral friend to help you like Albert' please because it's hard for one person to handle so much work like you Jerry Banfield. For sake of better steemit! Good luck steemians.
thanks for your feedback @verdanas. the ecoTrain does its best to find amazing new authors and promote them. We also are very passionate about promoting good causes and ideas.we do spend a LOT of our own personal time and energy supporting and upvoting many other people outside of the ecoTrain.
I think Jerry does his best to find varied and new content.. all people have to do is post that here and he will discover it.. so really we need more curators to do this and post and upvote the ones we like. That is our responsibility. .. im sure a good post will not be missed.. I personally looked through the entire comments thread here to look for ones i thought were also good and upvoted them as well!
I want to ba a curator
Just hit upvote on your favourite posts and u are one! To be successful u also will want a bit of steem power..
How can i get the steem power
u can buy it or you can earn it!
buying it is quicker! ;-)
u need to start by buying STEEM.. you can do that on blocktrades.us by sending almost any other cryptocurrency
I want to be a curator
@verdanas you make good points here I will keep in mind going forward!
Thank you Jerry Banfield.
Hi @eco-alex! @jerrybanfield is sending you 10.0 SBD tip and @tipU upvote
:)
@tipU - send tips by writing tip! in the comment, get share of the profit :)Great idea! What I love about her post is that it is so honest and not preachy at all. That makes the concept so much more accessible to a wider audience. On a global scale, if everyone reduces plastic use even by a small percentage it adds up. Definitely better to encourage people to change behavior even a little bit rather than giving up in despair. Right? I hope Steemit is a place to get the word out on this.
Good point! Dare to be imperfectionist, but just try to change some small things, that ´s already better than nothing.
Amazing initiative! It does deserve a place on the upvotable list if you ask me !
Awww! <3 Thank you for recommending my post!
Hlw sir .. Thanks for including the post I referred in the upvotable 31. I was overwhelmed for such a kind gesture.

Hey ,
Thanks for the great content
Thanks for the mentions Jerry!
I sent my minister of propaganda @erodedthoughts and my monster doodler @saywha $3.333 SBD each from your tip as thanks to them for the arts and laughs and sent the remainder back to you as thanks.
The gesture was very kind and I've paid it forward as money doesn't really make me happy, making others content/smile does though.
Cheers captain, excuse my weak 100% upvote.. Need to recharge.
Thank you @klye for noticing :)

@tipU - send tips by writing tip! in the comment, get share of the profit :)i think this is not the place to talk about suicides and bad things
This is my say to this
Like we always say to each other everyone have their own opinion and are entitled to their own opinion.
As for mine, I think anytime and anywhere is the right time and place to talk about this things. Especially if it is coming from your friend or relative, it could be a sign of them reaching out for help.
How about sharing this type of stories? I think the same, by sharing it we are addressing it and we learn from it. We might pick up something, a tale tell sign that could save or help one of our friends or relatives or love ones.

I think we can talk about bad things as well as good things. It is not a prerequisite to only talk good things here.
Now what happens when your both right!!?
Where is the place to talk about these things? It seems we have more bad things happen because we only allow them to be shared in very few places.
Here is my Post on Tension must read for everyone. Please have a look : https://steemit.com/life/@vikbuddy/tension-global-problem

I think the whole process we go through is that we forgive ourselves by forgiving others who are also the same way and then forget ourselves by also forgetting the faults of those friends who have also turned their lives around. Great stories too:-)
