Because accountability is foundational for a successful community, we would like to continue to share info about our daily production in the Garden of Eden.
Even though we still don't have a finished living room floor, we maintained our standards of feeding free meals, saving trash from the landfills, enjoying a negative zero carbon footprint, and living honestly and responsibly as the change we want to see in this world.
In honor of full transparency, we'd like to share our accomplishments for the day:
- harvested and processed a wheelbarrow full of shiso for drying
- harvested 2 pounds of greens
- rendered 1 gallon of dried shiso and 10-15 gallons of dried lemon thai basil
- packaged 6 orders for health supplements
- planted 2 fig trees
- Processed 1 pound of organic, homegrown tobacco blend
- produced 30 pounds of compost
- took 117 photos
- saved 120 pounds of trash from the landfill
- received $50 in donations from local businesses
- sanded the living room floor
- built 2 shelves
- fed 33 free meals
- spent $0 on rent, $0 on food, and $0 on entertainment
- invested 16 man hours in Steemit
- produced 3 @gardenofeden Steemit articles that have thus far earned 115.60 SBD (minus portion to curators): 1) A Garden Fresh Photography Gallery to Brighten Your Day, 2) Video of Our Feed The Need Campaign Where We Fed 300 Meals To Homeless People Downtown At Risk Of Arrest Or Fine, and 3) this article
- AND we re-homed 6 stray puppies!
We were caring for 7 stray black lab puppies. One found his forever home last week, and today we found a family excited to take in ALL 6 GIRLS!!!
We are all full time volunteers; no one is earning any money for these operations. Instead, we invest all proceeds right back into feeding, clothing, housing, and sheltering more people than ever before!
We are still celebrating the success of this weekend's feed the homeless event, where we donated a $1,000 operation to the people of downtown Fort Worth where we harvested, prepared, delivered, served, and cleaned up 300 hot meals. We're surfing the excitement to plan the next one!
To learn even more about our unprecedented economy, please read our previous post.
Every single day, we PROVE that a better way is possible, and we remain committed to building a healthier and more sustainable world for ALL!
