Forest Stillness

“Trees are an invitation to think about time and to travel in it the way they do, by standing still and reaching out and down.” Rebecca Solnit

Forest Stillness raises the question of whether stillness can become an economic value.
Visitors’ stillness is tracked and visualized by growing trees.
The target is to embody stillness and raise awareness about all that it involves:
Through stillness we hardly consume resources, we care for nature, for our environment, for clean air, and thus we are providing a benefit for life … when we allow trees to grow until the end of their lives.

Doing a very rough calculation, during its 80 to 100 years of life a tree absorbs about three tons of co2, that’s the average personal carbon footprint per quarter. Thus, to be carbon neutral we should plant four trees every year… and let them grow.

With our stillness, we avoid generating co2 emissions.
It’s still a Utopia to think that we could collect „co2-credits“ with our stillness, however, the simple fact of expressing an idea is the first step to turning it into a reality.
Another economy is possible, an economy based on the values of live, not on exploitation until extinction.

„We are the consciousness of the earth. We are the eyes of the earth. The voice of the earth …“
Joseph Campbell

Forest Stillness is an attempt to create an ecosystem based on NFTs, within the blockchain to support forestry projects IRL with our stillness.
