I really like the idea of preserving our nature. She's alone. I like the fact that they have an application for android linux mac os and windows. It's a pity, of course, that there is no ios.
The idea of preserving our nature is an absolute must, I'm glad you agree. Thank you for sharing that. It cannot be said enough.
Ashley is not alone. She is part of a bigger group called "Linesville Litter Critter Cleanup" in Linesville, Pennsylvania, United States. They have a public group on Facebook,
https://www.facebook.com/groups/357858081378146 where you can see that she is only one of many. It is a beautiful and commendable community effort. Ashley is the one that receives the EGC when you select "Linesville Litter Critter Cleanup Direct Contribution" from your staking for charity drop down or donate direct to EGC address EgBmW7jbgLdVp2yQsVXuafscnEZ9Quz3AB which is displayed at
https://evergreencoin.org/current-authorized-efforts/ also. To this point, these funds are for trash bags, buckets, and safety equipment such as gloves. However they do have plans for a much, much bigger effort that may involve a dumpster being brought into or near a swamp area. I only learned of this ambition this morning actually. Myself and James will report more details of that plan in the future, after plans are better devised and outlined. Do expect that in the near future.
I personally would not only like to see EGC supporting similar efforts across my country, but all our globe. I encourage and invite community members that do or plan to do similar to reach out. We will happily support you in any way we can.
To your IOS point, we did roadmap an IOS app for 2018, as you may very well know. I will be honest, the roadmap was made when markets were very bullish, there was more community involvement, board members had not abandoned (with some projects funding, mind you), and personal constraints were not as great. All of this has stretched milestones out much farther than hoped. But never have we stopped striving. Unexpected very large legal compliance costs and tiresome trademark battles also were unexpected, consuming limited resources of both man-hours and finance. Sometimes milestones are not the highest priority. That said, we still very well can hit this IOS mark in 2018. No, we have not abandoned this nor any plan, it is just not going as well as we had hoped. But please do not misinterpret that as a lack of effort or a willingness to reach any goal. I assure you, many are working very diligently on many aspects of the EGC ecosystem despite the markets and all the many other unexpected hurdles. But be assured, much like preserving our nature, our work is never done. Yet we diligently persist and strive for a end that truly does not exist. We can never preserve our environment "enough." We can never develop the EGC ecosystem "enough."
I apologize we have no IOS app yet. Underline, "yet". Thanks for the continued support and understanding.
