A few years ago I saw a post about permaculture from u/Suuperdad that inspired me to create this sub. I had no idea what it would turn into. Yesterday I got this lovely email about our website that in all honesty, I forgot existed. It was made during the great Reddit migration and has been kind of forgotten about until today.
Never in a million years did I expect an email like this or, my co-workers to know my subreddit or, my new significant other to lose his mind when he found out I started this sub. Even if you don't think you're going to change the world, you might. This is a reminder to fight for what you believe in, make positive changes in your life, and do what's right. Maybe it will have a snowball effect, maybe it won't. Either way you'll be changing your own life.
I want to make a special shout out to my amazing mod team over on Reddit who does amazing work not just in moderating but in contributing resources, setting up really cool things like the Doug Tallamay AMA and just overall being really great humans that I enjoy chatting with. I have an amazing mod team over on discord and here on Lemmy too that I can't thank enough for the hard work they put in and a special thanks to the host of Solar Punk for hosting the Lemmy instance we use.
This community exists because we all want to see a change in the world and we're doing it. Sincerely, thanks for being here with me everyone. I love this community so much!
They did not ask me to post this for what it's worth. I did consider redacting it but the organization the email originated from had nothing to do with them.
