PROJECT BACKGROUND
Our mission is to save the Bees and Trees by planting, recording, and sharing the difference you make while hiking with the FytoStick™.
We aim to be a collective crowd of modern day Johnny Appleseed-like friends of Earth.
Nearly two hundred years later and only one of Johnny Appleseed's trees remain. While all across the country, bee populations and plant life are rapidly decreasing. In a time when there was little available in the way of technology, one man dedicated his life to helping plant seeds for a better future- and accomplished so much with his bare hands. Now, imagine what we can do with a device that makes this process as simple as taking a beautiful hike.
Imagine what you can do with FytoStick™.
FytoStick™ is the world's first hiking stick that plants seeds with a simple downward motion of the hand. Utilizing a secret technology, FytoStick™ burrows a hole in the soil, and simultaneously tucks the seed safely away ready to grow!
FytoStick™ also comes with an app, MyFyto™ (not yet released), that allows you to track how far you have explored, goals reached, and achievements collected. Plant flowers for the bees or help save the Earth's source of oxygen by planting trees.
WHO WE ARE
We are Jake (Owner/Inventor) and Tyler (CEO) of PalmPrint Innovations LLC™, a company dedicated to bringing about a measurable change in society by creating products that affect the environment in a positive way. FytoStick™ is our first official product, and while it takes a considerable amount of time and effort to fully develop, the end result and potential impacts will make it all worthwhile.
Fun Fact: As a distant relative of Mr. Johnny Appleseed himself, Tyler has big shoes to fill.
WHAT WE NEED AND WHAT YOU GET
With $20,000 worth of funding, PalmPrint Innovations LLC™ will be able to do our first production run of FytoStick™. Your donations would cover the cost of manufacturing, packaging, final improvements, and modifications to finish developing the app. Please check out our perks, where in addition to being able to pre-order your very own FytoStick™, you can secure other spectacular items such as lightbulb terrariums, bamboo beehives, and other sweet merch items.
THE IMPACT
While countless people do care immensely about the environment, there are not many simple avenues to show this appreciation in a meaningful, yet measurable way. With the FytoStick™, we've created a simple way to have big impacts on our future, one step at a time. We can now literally give more back than we take! It's time for the people to truly display their power!
RISK AND CHALLENGES
We are on this mission to create big changes to the way we treat our environment. In a time where big government and corporations have turned their back to the planet, we step forward to face the gauntlet of bringing beneficial results to the land that does everything to us.
The FytoStick™ and MyFyto™ app have been tested and tweaked for optimal functionality - we still have some development to do in order to achieve perfected performance though. We see no potential problems with production as we move forward to a manufacturing scale. We are prepared to provide backers with full updates along this journey in every step of the way. Shipping companies and their processes are outside of our immediate control, but we will do everything we can to ensure your orders are shipped on time. We believe that full and total transparency bring the best route when working on a world initiative movement like this- as a contributing team member, you're entitled to updates throughout the process. The largest risk is us not hitting our goal and not being able to move forward with putting the FytoStick™ in your hands- in which case the Earth is the biggest loser. The immediate fate of a better humanity depends on our success in accomplishing these goals with your help.
OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP
Even if you cannot donate at this time, you can still support our mission and campaign by sharing on your social media sites like Facebook or Twitter, or with your family and friends. It doesn’t take much to spread the word, and putting the FytoStick™ in the hands of just one more person can make a larger than life difference.
All those that share using the hashtags #MyFyto , #FytoStick, and #WhereWillYouGrow? on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter will be entered in for weekly $100 REI gift card drawings. Good luck!
Thank you for your taking the time to read this, and a extra big thank you for your support! It's with a collective social movement- starting with people like you- that we can literally change the world!
Your Friends,
Jake and Tyler - PalmPrint Innovations LLC™
FAQ
"What about the risk of spreading invasive species?"- Kudos to you for being so alert! This is something we've thoroughly thought through and will minimize this risk through a few different coverage options to ensure the safety net is as large as possible. 1. The terms of agreement in the MyFyto™ app will very clearly state and warn about the users responsibility to plant safely. 2. Users will be able to register which seeds they're planting and the app will not function if that seed isn't naturally part of that area. 3. When ordering seeds through PalmPrint Innovations LLC™, we will not ship seeds to a region those specific seeds don't belong.
"Won't people planting seeds on already existing trails mess up the path?" - Thanks for your due diligence! As it turns out, all sorts of plants have been throwing their seeds all willy-nilly on trails for years! Since the dawn of time seeds have fallen without interference from mammals and the destructive humans! Any seeds planted on regularly trafficked trails will surely be stepped on. So plant alongside the beaten path! Plant your roots!
