Getting on board the tree planting bandwagon

 

Here are a couple of very encouraging news stories:

1. YouTube stars raise over $6m to plant trees around the world: According to The Guardian a group of over 600 popular contributors to YouTube have been raising money to plant trees. Twenty million trees! This is all part of a campaign called the #TeamTrees project. The project aims to raise up to twenty million dollars and plant twenty million trees.


2. Elon Musk donates $1 million to plant trees:
And one of the big contributors to that 'twenty million tree' project will be electric car developer, Elon Musk. Of course Musk also contributes a lot to greenhouse gases too, with his Space-X, space exploration program. Perhaps his donation will help in part to compensate for the Space-X activities.
