Donated 50 Trees from Earnings

I've reached the milestone of donating 50 trees from my Gumroad earnings of my E-book Start With A Side-Project. Each tree was gifted to a buyer, so they received a nice E-card with a thank you note :)

For visualisation, here are 50 trees:

I'm not an environmental activist but you just can't stay indifferent and ignore the state of our planet, here is a video about the destruction of the Amazon Rainforest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAZAKPUQMw0

There is obviously more to it than just "fixing up" the Amazon Rainforest, but this is a start.

We need to be more vigilant and take care of our planet better.

Here is a project that can increase your individual impact.

You can donate a sapling at Rs. 42 (about 60 cents). The bulk of the cost is covered by the government through the life of the tree.
