*   - excerpt -*

"WeTheTrees is a crowdfunding platform for the Permaculture community. The
platform is not, however, limited to only permaculture certified campaigns.
WeTheTrees is open to campaigns that fall into any sustainability,
environmental, social, or educational category, as long as they meet the
ethics of permaculture.  

The key is to work the edges.  It is much more effective to work on
something at the edge of your system and help it to be symbiotic with your
system than to wander off to another area completely.  There is an edge
relationship between the permaculture community and related fields (like
conservation, organic agriculture, social change movements, etc.), where
there are actually overlapping  elements.  Our platform has an added
function of connecting, exposing and educating those that may be positioned
on the edge of permaculture.  It may be through their use of our platform
that they first recognize the deep solid base and active community of
permaculture."
