Since there are still some people who donate regularly via Patreon or Liberapay for our project, we have added that amount of money to our 200 for TROM campaign, as "people" supporting us. In a way that would be around 76 people out of 200 that we need. https://www.tromsite.com/donate/
Not bad. Almost 40% of the support that we need.
If we'll reach 100% then TROM will be sustainable indefinitely.

The plastic industry knowingly pushed recycling myth for decades, new report finds https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/the-plastic-industry-knowingly-pushed-recycling-myth-for-decades-new-report-finds
Of course...one must be very skeptical when the companies producing plastic are so keen about "recycling". Of course they like these programs even if they do not work (which is the case today) since it allows them to produce more plastic and make more profits.
Recycling is only relevant when there is not a huge incentive to produce waste in the first place.

The plastic industry knowingly pushed recycling myth for decades, new report finds
The world produces an average of 430 million metric tons of plastic each year. The United States alone produces tens of millions of tons of plastic waste annually. Yet on average, only about 5 to 6 percent of plastic in the U.S. is recycled.Ali Rogin (PBS NewsHour)

Massive THANK YOU to the anonymous donation that covers all of our backups for another year! Massive thank you! https://www.tromsite.com/trom-backup/
This for sure boosts the confidence around TROM, that there are some people out there who can help out when TROM is in need. Hopefully more updates to come the following weeks about the new video series!
Many thanks!

We are now using the wonderful https://listmonk.app/ for our TROM Newsletter. Open Source and awesome! A proper self hosted Newsletter system. You can subscribe here https://newsletter.tromsite.com/subscription/form
That being said we have removed the email notifications when new posts are created for all of our websites: tromjaro.com, videoneat.com, directory.trade-free.org, and so forth. This was done because the plugin we were using was discontinued for security reasons, but also because it is not a great idea to send emails like that, from a Wordpress website. And on top of this very very few people were using this feature.
All of our websites have a "follow" page where you can follow them via RSS or the fediverse.

Thank you Wojmir for the 10 Euros donation! Let us remind you that we desperately need help to fund our backups for all of our projects. We need to raise 300 Euros in less than 2 weeks. https://www.tromsite.com/trom-backup/
To keep on doing trade-free things in a trade-based world is a fight that requires a lot of struggles, almost like swimming against a tsunami. But what is the alternative? Give up and not do anything? That's by far the easiest solution since the water current will push you into the "normal" direction. But for now we are still trying with TROM. We have reached many thousands of minds and with very little funding required. Thus, if you think TROM is still relevant, consider to support it since I (Tio) cannot push it all by myself.
Big thanks to the few people who are still supporting TROM, financially or not.

We need help to pay for our backups. This is a yearly funding campaign that we do, so if you can help us please see here https://www.tromsite.com/trom-backup/ - we only need 300 Euros for a full year of 4TB encrypted backups.
This means everything from our videos and documentaries, books, websites, including trom.tf (meaning all of the files that users have uploaded to our services - from Peertube videos to Nextcloud files). Everything!
300 Euros to make sure that we have everything backed-up in a secure place.
Please help if you can and thanks a lot for doing that!
