ecoTrain Golden Nuggets: Join Us For Highlights from our community this week.
A BUMPER edition. No free seats on the bus. Hope you like it too. HERE WE ARE thoroughly happening with #newsteem and our @ecotrain QOTW post hitting #6 on Trending this week with only organic votes! Curation IS bigger and more important - and better rewarded - than ever before, and some of our contributors have seen a marked increase in their rewards this past week.
Great content this week - here are some of the gems, nuggets and eco-green wisdom & insight shared under the #ecotrain tag this week on the steem blockchain. Even if you don't have VP or RC to upvote, a meaningful comment is usually upvoted by a smart author, so go lavish your appreciation and engagement on this great content.
We truly are an amazing global community - and growing with new contributors every week!! If you want to help @ecotrain give juicier upvotes and haven't yet delegated or increased your delegation post HF21, please do! It matters! You loaning us your steem to make more money for you? Bit of a no-brainer, really! . We would like to give a huge thank you to @yabapmatt for his amazing delegation of 20,000 Steem to support the ecoTrain curation and ecoVILLAGE project, what a legend! If you haven't voted him for witness, I would highly reccomend you do so!
@ecotrain is a artisan-hand-curated community built around the concept of gift economy and actively making our world a better place. We engage around sustainability, eco-green, permaculture, the glories of Mother Earth, inner transformation, alternative energy, earthships & earth building, recycling - in short, all the practical and conceptual underpinnings of paradigm shift.
Each week @eco-alex and @artemislives scour the steemit blockchain for people using the tag, and upvote-comment-curate in the best way they know how.
Please:
Upvote this Nuggets curation and our featured posts if you can. Comment, resteem this curation and a few of the posts. Follow, engage and enjoy.

Can A Non-Technical, Non Commercial Project Be Supported on Steem? The Steem Eco-Village Communuty
So often people have asked "Where is the @ecotrain actually GOING?!?" and THIS WEEK we received an unequivocal answer!! A huge power post from @eco-alex has thrown down the gauntlet and set the tone not just for building a decentralised self-governing community, but also for the flavour of the post content the @ecotrain will be prioritizing. If you didn't read this post in great detail, please read it again. If you missed it altogether, this will give you a LOT of help to be well-curated and on point with the journey we're on together. Was it well received? haha - not only did it hit Trending, we also received some major new delegation, taking the combined voting juice of the @ecotrain to well over 50,000 SP !! It's been quite the week and we're on fire! Sidebar: The train driver DOES look like a young Indianna Jones, doesn't he? LOL...

@birdsinparadise
We're Facing A Natural Disaster, or, Being Prepared Food & Supplies Part 2
With Hurricane Dorian bearing down on them, the @birdsinparadise were all about preparedness for natural disaster this week. This was a great post to help ALL of us make a checklist for emergencies. Part 1 about their super-trail mix to keep them well fed through floods and storms? It's linked in this post. :) Happy to report that they dodged a bullet as the slow-moving super-storm passed them by.
@blueeyes8960
The Buzz About Bee Pollen
One super-food that's GREAT to have on stand-by in natural disasters is Bee Pollen - it literally contains every known nutrient in an easily bioavailable, yummy form - no fridges or prep needed and keeps forever. @blueeyes8960 tells us more about why we need to be enjoying bee pollen more often. The added plus of better pollination by happy bees? Definitely an eco-green-natural-health win-win.
@riverflows
Journalling Natural Medicines: Plantain
Every eco-Village needs to know what's growing, when and how, and what it can be used for. @riverflows shared a lovely post about plantain and her journalling process to gather information, uses, seasonal issues and cultivation tips. It showed, again, how much our steem communities need to be inter-dependent and collaborating, and how we can enrich our own health simply through observing and using what Mother Gaia has already given us.
@wildhomesteading
Fall Is The Best Time To Plant Perennials
Using the short window between end of summer and the really cold weather kicking in, @wildhomesteading shared the clever technique of getting your perennials in when everyone else is waiting. Why? When the cold weather ends, yours are deep rooted, settled and you have a serious jump start on productivity and a better harvest.
@wongbraling
300 Sticks of Lannea Coromandelica
Indonesian pepper is some of the finest in the world, and @wongbraling shares with us not only his dream for his organic cafe & organic pepper trees, but the process of collecting & preparing the stakes for his pepper vines. Is the pepper you use on your table and in your cooking organic?
@redheadpie
Monarch Butterfly Waystation - Build It And They Will Come
Building a waystation for endangered Monarch Butterflies is something everyone can do! @redheadpie challenges us all with this thought: Build It And They Will Come.
@artemislives
An Indigenous Karen Forest Acivist is Mourned: Finally There is Evidence of His Murder
The cost of eco-activism can be devastating, and @artemislives reminds us of the danger still in so many parts of the world when people step up for the environment and for indigenous people. We collectively mourn and pay tribute to a brave young environmental activist whose human remains were finally found this week, 5 years after his disappearance.
