CURRENT NUMBER OF TREES PLANTED BY ERA : 41 144

Thread history :
This thread first started as a show of support for the global climate strike. After the first goal of 1000 trees was reached in a few hours, we updated to a new goal of 10 000 trees. This has been reached as well in just a matter of days. After consideration I decided to keep this thread alive so people could keep donating, and a new goal of 25K was reached later in 2019.
Another goal of 50 000 TREES for Christmas 2019 was set but failed.
People are still donating from time to time, even if we lost some momentum. Climate change being such a important issue, and my love of trees immense, I will still keep this thread alive and updating the total from time to time.
I still encourage everyone to donate or just post some cool videos about trees / forests.
Finally I would like to thank everyone who made a donation and also the mods for helping it get attention with the community goal sticky.

YES! Just make sure it is legit, and show a proof of purchase (like receipt or email) in a post.
Can I plant trees myself locally? Do they count?
Of course! We trust you to be honest and won't ask for any evidence... But a cute little picture of your new tree(s) would be a nice addition to this thread!
A tree can absorb as much as 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and can sequester 1 ton of carbon dioxide by the time it reaches 40 years old. You can check a complete list of benefits here : https://projects.ncsu.edu/project/treesofstrength/benefits.htm
