Planting Trees, Saving Lives
Hey there, my name is Peter Bragino, and if you're reading this, you most likely know me already. In case you don't, I'm an Artist, Designer, Musician, and a Treasure Hunter living and working out of New York.
WHY I'M RUNNING THIS CAMPAIGN
I'm on a mission to support some fundamental causes. I'm big on following your dreams, I love to talk art and creativity, and I feel music is one of the most important things we have on Earth. My biggest commitment is to the Earth, all its natural resources, and it's inhabitants. I've committed quarterly support to my favorite charitable initiative called Eden Reforestation Projects. Scroll down to read a little bit about the vital work that they do.
10% of the total amount raised throughout this campaign will be donated to Eden Reforestation Projects. Every dollar donated to them will plant TEN trees. The number of trees that each fund level will plant is indicated below in the GREEN CIRCLES. :) - If we reach our goal of $5000 dollars donated, together we will have accomplished a significant win for all of humanity by planting 5,000 TREES!
Eden Projects has a holistic approach to reforestation and ecological restoration.
- Their national leaders partner with villages that are committed to restoring their forests.
- They then hire and train local villagers to plant new trees.
- They plant native tree species.
- The villages protect their new forests because they have a vested interest in them.
- Top tier seedling survival rate – over 80%. Even higher when natural generation is factored in.
Eden Projects start by hiring the local villagers to plant trees. This gives them a decent income so they can provide for their families again. As the reforestation effort goes on, healthy forests begin to emerge and all the negative effects of deforestation begin to disappear.
HOW THIS CAMPAIGN WORKS
The items listed below are available in return for your generous donations. Orignal art selection will be honored on a first donate first choice basis. **NOTE: All original pieces of art are marked down to studio prices which is half of what they would sell for in a gallery. **ALSO - Any donation amount is welcome (you can create your amount!) - Donation levels will earn you art in return plus plant trees and save lives!
CHOOSING YOUR REWARD
IMPORTANT - Leave a comment with your donation and please include the following:
1) The Orange # that appears next to the piece of art you want to claim with your contribution!
EXAMPLE - If you donated $150 (The 3rd level) and you wanted to choose the first image from the list you would include the number #0301 - Those reference numbers are listed in ORANGE next to each piece of artwork below.
Once I receive your message and confirm your donation, I will remove your item from the list below and ship it out to you. **Shipping is included for all donations!
DONATION LEVELS
** If you have any questions about these pieces please send me a message right here in GoFundMe!
