About
- Plants and Pillars is a DAO that aims to encourage people to plant more trees and make Earth a better place to live in.
- Zen Garden is a game that lets users own a virtual land where they can plant trees using tree NFTs. For each virtual tree planted, a real tree is planted in the physical world, creating a tangible impact on the environment.
Core Objectives and Future Plans for Plants And Pillars & Zen Garden -
🫂Collaboration: Zen Garden would be an open source game built on top of Phi and Treejer Protocol.
💵Award: We'll incentivise the planters of Zen Garden in order to keep the people engaged in this project which will eventually help mother Nature.
🔔Update: With the help of the PUSH protocol, planters are notified whenever they get anything credited/ debited.
📈Streaming Money: Send money over time to the planters with the integration with Superfluid.
📚Education: Wride.io will make people aware of the current situation on Earth and educate them regarding the global issues of SAVE SOIL, GLOBAL WARMING, etc.
🌍Plants and Pillars DAO: This will help our community take all the essential decisions and help in the smooth functioning of the project.
🔗Connecting: Our aim is to connect and make people aware of the importance of trees to human mankind.
🎯GOAL: Our Ultimate Goal is to reduce and neutralise carbon emissions by planting more and more trees and educating people about our current environmental issues.
