Hey, you! The SuperForest Sundae is an end-of-the-week wrap up of miscellaneous tidbits that SuperForester April thinks you might like. With a cherry on top.
Talented artist you may not have heard of

A song you might love
Mishka’s reggae-fused Guy With A Guitar.
A secret society you’ll want to join
The Secret Society for Creative Philanthropy (SSCP) started in 2006 and its premise is this: Giving $100 to creative folk who think up original and fun ways to hand this money onto others. Following this, the giver shares the story of the giveaway. Past examples include handing out umbrellas to those without them on a rainy day. An idea put forward by someone was to “pay the bill for people who are angry and impatient in line, to remind them not to sweat the small things. We have all been stressed out and in that place before.”
Check out this video of the SSCP offering people $1 to chat with a stranger.

Documentary you should check out
I received an email from Greenpeace this week encouraging me to watch The End Of The Line – a film about the devastating effects of overfishing. The film offers simple solutions that will help restore oceans and keep them healthy. Watch the trailer below.
Have a great week,
April
