In search of 20,000,000 trees.

Those that are on YouTube might have seen this already, but if you haven't, let me tell you about #TeamTrees.

So MrBeast, a YouTube creator hit 20 million subs a short while back, and as a way to celebrate he and Mark Rober have partnered with a huge number of other creators to form TeamTrees with the goal of planting 20 million trees before the end of the year. They are doing this by working with Arbor Day Foundation who are going to plant one tree for every $1 raised.

This is pretty much blowing up, and within a few days of being announced they have hit over $8.6 million with Elon Musk dropping a million dollars in the pot, Jack Dorsey, Twitter CEO, donating $150,000, and YouTube pledging to match the next $1 Million raised on its platform (it's at just over $2.1 million currently.)

There are plenty of videos about the push and some are quite interesting if you don't know a lot about trees.

If you're interested in looking into it more their site is https://www.teamtrees.org/ or you can look up #teamtress on Youtube

What do you think? Seems to be a pretty goof idea, and I expect that they're going to surpass the 20 million, and while it won't stop Climate Change, this does have the potential of being able to take 10,000 tons of Carbon from the atmosphere each year, so hey, just 39,999,990,000 tons to go. :D

So yeah, I know this is a little bit of a advert for them, but I think it's also an important current topic, and one that can be talked about as well as actioned if people think it's worth helping out.
