🌳 Refer a friend, plant a tree

[adam]

You'll spot a funky new widget in the homepage sidebar!

For each of the next 100 legitimate referral sign-ups we make as a community that make more than 5 posts each, we'll fund the planting of 2 trees via Offset Earth.

This is in addition to the current referral drive prizes available until the end of February.

Offset Earth fund Eden Reforestation Projects, particularly in Madagascar where the project creates jobs for local people planting and protecting forests in an attempt to recover from their extreme (over 90% of their rainforests) deforestation.

The Mangrove trees being planted capture up to four times as much carbon per acre than tropical rainforests. Three quarters of tropical fish rely on their root systems for nurseries and shelter.

Planting trees captures CO2 from the atmosphere and is thought to be the most effective defence against global warming.

Your Referrals

You'll find your referral link and referred users here. When you spot one of your referrals has hit 5 messages, simply reply to this thread, tag them in it and I'll update our count.

You can also append your referral suffix (eg. ?ref=1) to any other page on the webwide.io domain excluding the /hello/ landing page. So feel free to share your profile, threads, etc. as well!

Community Trees (Tree-derboard?)

You'll see our progress in the table below. There is no per-user limit on tree-counting referrals so go wild!

Referrer	Referee	Date
🌳 @Adam	🌳 @bramley	2020-01-29
🌳 @v1rtl	🌳 @samwinter	2020-02-18
🌳 @v1rtl	🌳 @mishaor	2020-02-21

Each referrer and referee will receive a special forest themed profile trophy too!

Evidence

Trees will be purchased from Offset Earth in batches of 25 (but I'll keep our counts updated between then). You'll be able to see evidence on my profile and the trees will be labelled with Webwide. 😃

If you'd like to contribute yourself I would encourage you to check out their homepage and surprisingly affordable plans that appear to make a large impact.

First one down! 🌳

 

[James]

Come on @27leaves you got this!

 

[adam]

Ok, upping the ante a little bit, we'll do 2 trees for each 5-posting referral and make our target 100 referrals (so still 200 trees) for now. One for both of you. 😄

 

[adam]

Another 2 down from @v1rtl and @samwinter! 😄

 

[James]

Treederboard is brilliant and I will always be behind that name. 😂

 

[adam]

@v1rtl racks up another 2 trees by referring @mishaor who has reached 5 posts. 😄

 

[adam]

For the next 14 days all referral tree plantings are DOUBLED. That's 4 trees for every referral who reaches 5 posts. There is still a $25 Amazon gift card (or alternative currency) available for the first user to reach 5 referrals on our treederboard.
