Accountability Standards: The Garden of Eden Ledger, Or How We Invest Our Freedom - 10/28/16

in #life8 years ago

We hold high standards for transparency, accountability, and responsibility. We share ledgers of our production not only to inspire others, but to motivate and top ourselves.

It has been 2 weeks since our last ledger, and so much has happened since then! Our current 10 volunteers have been hard at work/play in being the change we wish to see in this world.

Here's a recap of what we've accomplished in 2 weeks, with some of our most exciting progress in Eden history:

  • We launched Eden 2.0 on Steemit first! Building on our extreme success, we are ready to expand to a more comprehensive community with room for dozens to hundreds of families. For more info, check out our website.
  • invested 125 man hours in developing business proposals (full plans to be released after the airing of an MTV show featuring the Garden of Eden on December 19)
  • invested 85 man hours towards public relations, including sending our press release to hundreds of outlets


         


  • built 6 web pages
  • made travel arrangements for our Eden Knights to scope locations in Ecuador
  • made travel arrangements for our Eden Knights to attend Steemfest in Amsterdam
  • listed items on Craigslist and LetGo to liquidify our assets towards Eden 2.0
  • Quinn was interviewed for CBS


 


  • received endorsement and donation from @theprophet0 -- thank you so much for your inspiring generosity! You are a great benefit to the Steemit community as user and witness! 
  • tended the garden
  • made 10 gallons of homemade wine
  • decanted 10 gallons of homemade wine
  • hosted a burlesque show and feast (this was a really epic event and we're excited to share details!)


                                            


  • made 980 pounds of compost
  • harvested herbs, greens, and tomatoes
  • mixed 20 pounds of tea and smoking blends
  • chopped firewood for the upcoming winter


                                                            


  • made 3 gallons of vinegar
  • held a garage sale
  • filled 12 orders for our sustainable goods


                           


  • burned 25 "trash" fence panels as fuel
  • saved 2350 pounds of trash from the landfill
  • took 6483 photos (!!!)
  • fed 750 free meals


          



                                 


It has been a full couple of weeks, with important groundwork laid for incredible things to come. This list doesn't even include the contributions of our individual community members! We are investing tens of man hours a day in Steemit, and we're grateful for the support of our Eden Knights are receiving. Here are the articles our Eden Knights shared:
