Standard Accountability: The Garden of Eden Ledger, Or How We Spend Our Freedom - 9/13/16
Because accountability is foundational for a successful community, we would like to continue to share info about our daily production in the Garden of Eden.
Even though we still don't have a finished living room floor, we maintained our standards of feeding free meals, saving trash from the landfills, enjoying a negative zero carbon footprint, and living honestly and responsibly as the change we want to see in this world.
In honor of full transparency, we'd like to share our accomplishments for the day:
- harvested and processed a wheelbarrow full of shiso for drying
- harvested 2 pounds of greens
- rendered 1 gallon of dried shiso and 10-15 gallons of dried lemon thai basil
- packaged 6 orders for health supplements
- planted 2 fig trees
- Processed 1 pound of organic, homegrown tobacco blend
- produced 30 pounds of compost
- took 117 photos
- saved 120 pounds of trash from the landfill
- received $50 in donations from local businesses
- sanded the living room floor
- built 2 shelves
- fed 33 free meals
- spent $0 on rent, $0 on food, and $0 on entertainment
- invested 16 man hours in Steemit
- produced 3 @gardenofeden Steemit articles that have thus far earned 115.60 SBD (minus portion to curators): 1) A Garden Fresh Photography Gallery to Brighten Your Day, 2) Video of Our Feed The Need Campaign Where We Fed 300 Meals To Homeless People Downtown At Risk Of Arrest Or Fine, and 3) this article
- AND we re-homed 6 stray puppies!
We were caring for 7 stray black lab puppies. One found his forever home last week, and today we found a family excited to take in ALL 6 GIRLS!!!

We are all full time volunteers; no one is earning any money for these operations. Instead, we invest all proceeds right back into feeding, clothing, housing, and sheltering more people than ever before!
We are still celebrating the success of this weekend's feed the homeless event, where we donated a $1,000 operation to the people of downtown Fort Worth where we harvested, prepared, delivered, served, and cleaned up 300 hot meals. We're surfing the excitement to plan the next one!
To learn even more about our unprecedented economy, please read our previous post.
Every single day, we PROVE that a better way is possible, and we remain committed to building a healthier and more sustainable world for ALL!

I do not comment enough on your posts and I really should. I admire what you all are doing very much. I wish I had more voting power to give you. You all give great inspiration to this community and obviously to your community in Texas. Keep up the good fight!
Thank you so much! Your encouragement means a lot to us.
In addition to all that I logged two original recipes in our file and I wrote and published one of my sarcastic articles from the collection of Top 8 Best Reasons Why SWAT Teams Point Fully Loaded Machine Guns At 2 Week Old Babies. Also, I'm working on my article about Common Misconceptions People Have About Living in Community.
God bless you all for the amazing work you are doing for those in need, both humans and animals :)
Blessings to you~*~
