Planted trees in the Amazon Rainforest 🌳
by nscodeWhen I first decided to write and publish a book about my experiences of building, marketing and selling a side-project, I've also decided that I would use some of the revenue for a good cause.
About a year back, I came across videos that show the destruction of the Amazon forest and its animal inhabitants.
It is in our responsibility, absolutely everybody, to take a good care for the planet we live on and make it a better place for us and for all. That's the reason why I've decided to contribute towards planting trees in the Amazon Rainforest.
A cool side effect to this - I gifted these trees, each one to each of my readers. They've received a pretty neat E-card with a thank you note 😇
I hope to see more indie hackers doing similar feats.
You can check out my eBook Start With A Side-Project is available on Gumroad.

Great initiative for tree programs. I would love to test and serve this service on my website of tree removal.

Awesome. It's a big goal of mine to be able to use a percentage of profits to do things like this. Ethical capitalism is the only reasonable way forward for our economy. Initiatives like 1% for the planet and B corps are hugely important. Good job!

Great initiative 👏
I've also always wanted whatever business I start to have a good positive impact. From the very beginning on Thankbox I pledged to plant a tree for every 10 sold. Planted 4 so far and hope to have a lot more as we grow (pun intended)! -

Amazing initiative! Your post inspires me. When I start making money with my side-project I will do the same as you and my subscribers will receive the e-cards 😃 Thanks for sharing and inspiring! ✌

@nscode That is absolutely amazing! What would be your tip on how to organize same or similar opportunity? Who to contact? Where to start? I run businesses in Central Europe and your post is a reminder on where to put the attention :) I would really appreciate reading your journey from the idea to constant execution! All best!

Hey Jacek,
Thanks for the kind words, I'm happy to hear you see this post as a valuable reminder :)
I'm planting trees with One Tree Planted, they're a non-profit organization that seems legit.
But I guess any other good-cause organization can help you get started, just contact them directly through email or twitter.
