🌳 For the next 30 days, one click = one tree!

[Monique vdB]

Last week's Friday fun is here if you haven't participated yet, and we have another one coming soon for your posts and likes courtesy of our own @Jimmy Seddon so stay tuned!

🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

We are in the final stretch and we need a mere 2,864 likes to meet our goal! We have already planted 27,136 trees, which thanks to the Atlassian Foundation is 54,272 trees. 

YESTERDAY, YOU PLANTED 2,590 TREES. In one day!!!

                               

Our highest weekend day so far has been 246 trees in a day.  So Stop by this weekend if you can and help get us to the final number!  🌳  Bam boom!

Weekend kudos patrol reporting for duty!

Let's do this :-) 

[Mirek]

@Monique vdB - Please share the actual results as probably everyone is already wondering if the 30 000 goal was reached :) 

[Monique vdB]

@Mirek I would have been updating all weekend except my nephew had the nerve to turn one right at the end of July so I was traveling! 

We are at 1,129 Likes to go. But I won't pull the final numbers until tomorrow (and I am on Pacific time) so I am positive we can make it to 30,000 before the end!

Goal reached @Monique vdB ? 

[Monique vdB]

We're at 480 likes to go! I'm going to go talk about birthday cakes and then I'll check back again 😉

[Monique vdB]

Wow and after Brazil dominating the voting the whole time, Kenya has just taken the lead by 10 votes!

[Monique vdB]

I was going to pull the final numbers but I think I'm going to have some coffee first. ☕️

I'm sure I'll get to it soon. 

[Monique vdB]

I finished my coffee and was about to pull the final numbers except it turns out it's almost lunchtime here! So I'm going to go have some lunch. 

I'll definitely get to those final numbers soon.

Maybe after lunch....

[Andy Gladstone]

A Universal Tree we can all appreciate.

[Walter Buggenhout]

Those final updates were so funny and encouraging that I couldn’t help throwing in a couple more from a terrace in Malta 😛! We must so close 👀👀👀

[Monique vdB]

Just over here slowly eating lunch....

[Monique vdB]

Y'all are killing me 😆

I guess time for me to relax and have a nice cup of tea before I pull those.... final..... numbers....... maybe 49 people can just like this comment and put us out of our misery 😂

[Summer Hogan]

I just went and liked about 20 things for you @Monique vdB 

[Monique vdB]

You are a peach, @Summer Hogan! The numbers don't update in real-time so I get them in batches. It's all very exciting.  

AS I WAS TYPING THIS, ANOTHER BATCH CAME THROUGH. Okay time for some math....

[Monique vdB]

Congratulations to the Atlassian Community. We reached our goal with a final tally of 30,037 likes! 

Thanks to the Atlassian Foundation, we will plant 60,074 trees along with Eden Reforestation Projects. We will allocate funds to our top two poll winners, Kenya 🇰🇪 and Brazil 🇧🇷, as well as to the General Fund of the Eden Reforestation Projects to plant more trees all over the world. 

                         

This has been an incredibly fun initiative, thank you all for smashing that like button over and over and over (and over) again.  Special shoutouts to the people who earned the Green Thumbs-Up badge many times over, especially....

@Walter Buggenhout (321 times!)

@Andy Gladstone (520 times!!)

@Summer Hogan (535) times!!!

@Craig Nodwell (667 times!!!!!) 

Thank you all for making a difference and helping us hit our goal! 🌳 As you saw at the end here, every single like helped!

[Summer Hogan]

YAY! 

[Craig Nodwell]

It was fun and I couldn't think of a better reason to like something. 

Thank you for all the behind the scenes work this must have taken. 

That's a lot of trees 🌳 

[Andy Gladstone]

@Monique vdB thanks for the summer break from the daily grind! I'm happy to not only have contributed to the project, but to have found some really great community contributors in the process!

[Walter Buggenhout]

Couldn’t word it any better than @Andy Gladstone just did! This was a great exploration of community content, serving a really good cause; I also must say I loved the story behind this initiative and feel really inspired to take the spirit of it into some local cause (whatever that may become) onwards. 
On a final note - I’m also very curious what 60.000 trees together looks like. 🎉🌳💙

[Jonathan V.]

@Monique vdB this is amazing news, and am so happy 60K trees are being planted. Honestly, this little initiative helped me wander around the site and find content I never had seen before. It was a win-win.

[Monique vdB]

Check out one of the projects we're funding, I hadn't heard of this community before!
