Elon Musk, the heads of Twitter and YouTube, PewDiePie and famous celebrities helped. TeamTrees will plant 20 million trees

I don’t think anyone expected such a response. TeamTrees showed that the Internet is not only a place of unnecessary hate, but also a place where you can mobilize people to create great initiatives together. We have just managed to break the $20 million ceiling that was wanted to be reached before 2020. In fact, the foundation’s account already has USD 20.4 million and the amount is still growing. Interest in the campaign was expressed by, among others: Jack Dorsey, president of Twitter, music producer Alan Walker, Susan Wojcicki, head of YouTube, PewDiePie, the biggest YouTuber, and Elon Musk. The head of Tesla, SpaceX and The Boring Company went a step further…

20 million trees

The action in question is the #TeamTrees initiative. The goal is to raise $20 million, which will enable the planting of 20 million trees by January 1, 2020. Trees will be planted in selected places that have been deemed most in need. The money started flowing into the foundation’s account almost immediately.

All thanks to the fact that MrBeast’s film entitled “Planting 20 million trees, my biggest project in life” gained huge publicity. MrBeast, one of the most popular YouTubers in the world, who became famous mainly for giving away large amounts of money to random people, has just joined the pro-ecological campaign. However, the American does not do it thoughtlessly. He is also known for engaging in social activities in cooperation with brands. He recently recorded a video in which he and a group of friends bought all the goods from a supermarket and then donated them to a food bank. Food and basic supplies went to those most in need. He spent $70,000 then. Other YouTubers and celebrities, as well as… Elon Musk, joined the latest action. However, he had to do it in his own style, i.e. spectacularly.
