@thegreens’ weekly report | July 12 - 18, 2021

As usual, I always split my reports into two; the Steem Cameroon Community Report and @thegreens’ report

1. Steem Cameroon Report

Blogs Review and Curation
According to the Cameroon Steemit Blogs Review and Curation Roster, i am charged with curating and reviewing the blogs of Cameroonian Steemians on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays as you can read in the updated blogs review and curation roster here; https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-weekly-blog-review-and-curation-roster-updated

Blogs review and curation was limited to only registered members of the @steem-cameroon community as detailed in this announcement: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-community-membership-announcement-or-are-you-a-cameroonian-steemian-have-you-registered
This made the process easier. With the change in blogs review and curation strategy the review and curation process has been easier. We now review and curate from oldest post making sure that we don't skip any posts. This implies on a daily basis, we are always reviewing and curating posts that are 6 - 5 days old making sure that we don't skip any posts as well as ensuring that we give our accounts enough time to power up.
The feedback from our blogs review and curation program is amazing since no one complains of his posts not being reviewed nor curated.

Contests
We are still working on the Steemit Newbies Encouragement Program and the Cameroon Steemit Program as a whole. We hope to kick-start in August.
The Delegations Reward Program will also go into effect in August 2021 as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@steem-cameroon/steem-cameroon-delegations-reward-program

The SP Achievement Pledge Program

Week two of the SP Achievement Pledge program will be launched in the coming weeks during the premiere edition, 07 Steemians pledged to power up over 74K SP by December 2021.

As recommended by the Steemit Team, the SP Achievement Pledge Program was launched last week to enable us to be able to identify Steemians who are willing to power-up 50% of their earnings so that we can label them for support from @steemcurator01. Below is a list of some of the Cameroonian Steemians who have already pledged for SPAPP. We will launch week two of SPAPP this week.

The Plastic Bottles and Arboriculture Project

####I use steem to promote environmentalism in my community, on Steemit and around the world.
The week was a green week that started with a plastic bottles drive that saw my friends and I collect over 600 plastic bottles for our project. More details about the Plastic Bottles Drive here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@thegreens/plastic-bottles-drive-over-500-plastic-bottles-collected-for-recycling

Then we also completed the construction of the Propagator as you can read here: https://steemit.com/hive-195150/@thegreens/nursery-propagator-complete-or-the-plastic-bottles-recycling-and-arboriculture-project
A seeds drive was launched so that we can commence sowing seeds in our nursery in the coming weeks.

The Plastic Bottles Recycling and Arboriculture Project strives to remove 500K plastic bottles from the environment, transform them into UPB Tree Nursery pots and use them to nurse one million trees.
