Hello Steemians, today I want to present you with the categories for THEORY-VEGANISM for eco+. If you haven't seen the last post about eco+, check it out by clicking here.

Contents of this post:

THEORY-VEGANISM categories (6.3.2018)
Supporters list (6.3.2018)
General direction (6.3.2018)

You can already use the TAGs listed down below instead of the last tag in your post.

The eco+ interface will load your posts in the specific category and all parent categories. For example, if you post under the tag "vtpeajc", the interface will load your post in the following categories:

VEGANISM,
VEGANISM/TOOLS,
VEGANISM/TOOLS/PHILOSOPHY AND ETHICS,
VEGANISM/TOOLS/PHILOSOPHY AND ETHICS/ACTIVISTS,
VEGANISM/TOOLS/PHILOSOPHY AND ETHICS/ACTIVISTS/JOEY CARBSTRONG.

If you want to include some of your older posts (before today), you can write a comment with the tag you want it under and the link to your article. I'll manually include your post.

You can add your own categories before the interface is launched by writing a comment on one of my posts. You must specify the CATEGORY, the ROOT and the DESCRIPTION.

For example, if you wanted to add a category for the biological fallacy, you would write the following comment:

CATEGORY: BIOLOGICAL
ROOT: VEGANISM/TOOLS/PHILOSOPHY AND ETHICS/FALLACIES/BIOLOGICAL
DESCRIPTION: Trying to prove the omni/carnist nature of humans by using biology/physiology as proof.
E.g. - Humans have canine teeth, therefore we should eat meat (even tho' herbivore primates have even bigger canine teeth).

Make sure all parent categories in the ROOT already exist, if not, first create them.

You do not need to specify the TAG, it is created by abbreviating the ROOT.

The categories here are also open for change. Make a proposition in the comments below if you want to change a description or the name.

Supporters list

When I come to STEEM, every day I'm greeted with a new person that expressed how much they love the project. That really warms my heart and makes me push every day. Below you can find the list of all people that expressed they are looking forward to eco+ in the comments.

General direction

Categories for THEORY-SOCIOCRACY need to be done soon. As I am not experienced with the topic as much as with veganism and permaculture, I'm looking for people to brainstorm with. If you have knowledge about the topic, please let me know!

In the next few weeks, I will be working heavily on the coding for the categories. I won't have much to talk about and not much pretty things to show (except for a few animation and inside-category mockups), so you'll see fewer posts about eco+. Work is being done and I'm here if anybody needs me or wants to help in some way.

If you haven't seen the previous posts about eco+, check 'em out!

They are listed below by date, from oldest to newest.

Why the STEEM blockchain is a permacultural thing and how I became interested in building upon it

eco+, an ecological guarantee based on the wisdom of the crowd

Introducing eco+, the basics, the STEEM interface, the logo and the typefaces

Proof of consent - everyone agrees???

eco+, interactive interface for the STEEM blockchain for environmentalists and ethical vegans

With the kindest love,
@freegardens!

eco+, category trees for VEGANISM, love for the supporters and the general direction for the next few weeks.
