If I may suggest something.
Steemit right now needs network effect to grow. I think it's a great way to use part of the money we have in saving the environment but we need to also think in our own survival. The best synergistic way to gather more money AND help Steemit to grow is to combine your action with some kind of "publicity". I'm not speaking about billboards but to use your project and Steemit as one. Let share with the world how this new social media platform is help the environment. If you get it right, you'll see funds pooring into your posts much faster. I'll be the first to vote you ;)
i totally agree with you. That is what I am actually trying to do. People does not trust in Steemit yet. I am trying to promote it as much as possible. I got some few people (around 5) I will keep trying.
