The earth is suffocating from the abusing of deforestation in countries all around the globe. The reason varies, all from large and continuous accidental forest fires during hot summers to global cooperation's wish to gain profitable money to their already large money bags. I will post one post per day to collect as much post reward as possible to donate for planting trees in various places of the earth using the service of [One Tree Planted](http://onetreeplanted.refr.cc/startailt). ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfSzc1mwhhJqh9L39MC5RUXkDgeEafrZNhtnGwKi3N2Dx/image.png) ## Why I do this? As the world we live in is going global, we read more and understand more today than at any other time before, I see more and more selfishness. People have a hard time to take in the global perspective, and that what You do every day have an impact on people on the other places of the world. I do this to make a small contribution towards a better, more understanding, and greener world. I believe in the platform for a greater good, for something that can be used to help others. Each day will have a short summary on the country or project that I support, making the post not only about supporting something, but also educational for you who contribute towards it. #### Please help me help others and our planet. # Latest Contribution

Today we plant 2 trees in [Quebec](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quebec), one of the thirteen provinces and territories of Canada Quebec is the second-most populous province of Canada, after Ontario. The climate around the major cities is four-seasons continental with cold and snowy winters combined with warm to hot humid summers, but farther north long winter seasons dominate and as a result the northern areas of the province are marked by tundra conditions. Even in central Quebec, at comparatively southerly latitudes, winters are severe in inland areas. ## Planting Project The majority of forest coverage in Québec comes from the Boreal forest - the world’s largest intact forest ecosystem - making Québec forests some of the most ecologically rich ecosystems on the planet. They are home to more than 225 species of bird, 50 species of tree, and 60 mammal species including moose, black bear, fox, and caribou. Your support will help our partners restore and expand Québec's forests, and protect them against urban sprawl, the timber industry, and resource development projects. Our partners want to ensure the forests remain strong, and wish to educate the community on the importance of sustainable forest management in Québec. Our partner has chosen trees that will bring the greatest overall benefit to the region. ![](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0326/7189/t/65/assets/Screen-Shot-2019-05-06-at-5.02.33-PM.png) ### [Explore on Global Forest Watch](http://bit.ly/300AoHt) ![image.png](https://img.whaleshares.io/wls-img/startail/962c0cac80613584c400946e180b57ed5ca85d84.png) ![image.png](https://img.whaleshares.io/wls-img/startail/fea88e48cf246d0ec2bbee6de23674a98842c6c7.png) ## The Process Once a posts pay-out is finalized, ~75% of the value will be used to purchase trees through One Tree Planted. I will use [WirexAPP](https://wirexapp.com/r/228c6598627c4c46bfaeb849348e7f9f) to purchase with Cryptocurrency and minimize the loss through fees. The goal is to plant as many trees as possible. ![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX2nMbUEPEydteb9iwqPaqoACpqVq9V5LohcGmefTg6Bj/image.png) #### [View Larger](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmX2nMbUEPEydteb9iwqPaqoACpqVq9V5LohcGmefTg6Bj/image.png) # The Result It's still early in the process of collecting funds, there will be a few until anything is paid out, I'm still going to purchase trees until there are post rewards to use. Thus I will have a negative result for the moment. Platform|Collected|Exchanged -|-|- Steem|36,44|0 Steem Dollar|7,25|0 Whaleshares|695|0 **Summary USD**|~$31,5|0
