See, from my personal perspective this would not be a valuable expenditure for Hive. Its cool, im not trying to discourage you from doing it, but this would not directly translate to either valuable users or investors.
Now, if you had a large plot of trees you would need funding for you to cut down and sell, and then replant, returning investment into Hive and maybe using HBD in some way, that would in my mind be valuable to Hive. (ofc, this wouldnt be something that would be under VP umbrella anyway).

In a way funding a coal plant that generates revenue would be more monetarily valuable to Hive than ecological endeavors if you understand what i mean. 😇
For this, maybe a couple hundred USD could be spent as a community event of sorts, but 10k USD I would not consider justifiable in terms of what we are getting back from the expenditure.
