The Community Support Initiative is the new name for this project. What do you think? I much prefer to think of you as our community and not a minnow! If you've been posting using the ecotrain tag and have very few rewards you will highly likely have received a nice upvote from the @ecotrain voting bot from me! I’m happy to say that I have found some really great posts from many of our community to support. That is what makes the @ecotrain voting bot great, I Pay It Forward every day from the rewards of this post and donations. Speaking of which, a big thank you to @sashagenji for her very kind donation to the CSI (OOh that sounds cool abbreviated!), I am still paying it forward and will be busy this week finding more great people to support.
So I would like to Congratulate all of you who are creating great posts and encourage you to keep going! My best advice to you all is to write because you enjoy writing and let it work for you, instead of it being like work! Open your mind and your hearts and just share with us whatever you have to give. Writing to try to please others is very tiresome, and you can't keep that up for long! Writing to share something about your real authentic self is always more interesting for everyone and will bring more engagement. I’m sure that with some time, and , maybe a little help from the @ecotrain, you can find the people you are looking for!
This week the following people received an upvote from the @ecotrain community support initative. I'm happy to say it was time well spent as you are writing some great content!
Black Swagger Poetry Slam: The Poetry of Pollution!
Polluted that was the last time it smiled, the last time it felt a breath of fresh air Since we stopped caring about our actions, Mother Earth has been polluted.
that was the last time we talked, the last time it listened and heard me. Ever since she came around, My Mind has been polluted.
On the 24th of June 2018, La Liberte Arts Group in partnership with The Greens and Y’G will be organizing another sensational, thought-provoking, exciting and creative edition of Black Swagger Poetry Slam (BSPS) under the theme “Pollution”.
This month’s edition strives to advocate for #EndPollution using the power of poetry and music in what can be described as the poetry of pollution.
Congratulations to everyone this week who was selected for an upvote for great posts!

The @ecotrain bot is 'something different' to the normal kind of bots we see on Steemit. In an effort to use the Steemit ecosystem wisely and for the betterment of all I use most if not all of the bot rewards to upvote other people who write great posts.
HOW TO SUPPORT THE PAY IT FORWARD COMMUNITY SUPPORT INITATIVE (CSI)?
1. Up-vote This Post!
By up-voting this post I can use the rewards to PAY IT FORWARD next week to some more great Minnows.
Please visit https://steemauto.com to add me to your up-voting. That way all the votes I make will be boosted by you and bring even more attention and rewards to our amazing ecotrain passengers! This includes my voting on the @ecotrain and @tribesteemup who are an amazing group of Steemians. Your support goes a long way to making so many people's day brighter and full of joy and you will also make great curation rewards as a result.
I spend most of my time on Steemit curating and finding great people to support. You won't have to look far to see the quality and quantity of people I have supported here. The past few months have seen most of my delegtion move to other places and so my voting power is quite low! I really want to be able to reward great people, and to do that I need your delegation to really allow me to manually curate with a simple upvote! You can see many of the posts from the ecotrain and friends at #ecotrain. You can also read our weekly highlights magazine from our @ecotrain passengers @ecotrain.
If you need to earn rewards for delegating, with fair profit sharing to the community then please delegate to the @ecotrain voting bot which is is the first whitelisted bot on steembotracker.com that only upvotes and supports great posts! Not only that but I give a fixed 11% ROI to anyone using the bot so everyone is happy and we add great value to the Steem blockchain! This is a unique opportunity to get involved and support a bot that is so ethical and supporting such great steemians. Just visit https://steembottracker.com/delegation.html and delegate any amount of Steem Power in one minute.
