From zero to 20 million in two months,
#TeamTrees
galvanised millions of fans online to fund the planting of 22m trees and counting. Proof that using technology to unite people over a global cause can be an irresistible force for our
#TrillionTrees
target.
Reasons trees are vital:
1. Forests are earth’s lungs
2. They regulate global temperature
3. Provide clean breathable air
4. Keep land fertile
5. Create jobs
6. Are a natural climate solution
7. They look majestic too (we’re biased)
