If you're awesome and want to "join" #TeamTrees, use the first link in the video description or you can click on the KZbin donate link above! My favorite thing about this whole movement is that tons of people are coming together from all over the internet to unify for a common goal. I genuinely get excited when a diverse group of people come together to do something amazing, and I believe this could be our moment. If you're a working adult, please consider donating in a big way to this. I can think of no more efficient way for your dollars to be converted into ACTUAL, REAL LIFE TREES! LET'S plant 20 Million trees!!

And then make profit by selling wood in some years lol

[@zvpunry1971]

Selling wood is actually a way to store the carbon away for some decades (or maybe a century) if they are used in the construction of buildings. If the trees aren't used, they will die and decay and release the carbon again. But even buildings will eventually get demolished and then the wood can decay and release the carbon again. That's why it is called carbon cycle. But the use of wood reduces the use of other materials that are more carbon intensive, like steel and concrete. ;)

Destin, Your video of this project is the best I've seen so far (I've only seen 3 or 4). It promotes the project while showing in an insightful, educated way that this isn't as easy as just plopping 20 million trees in the ground and walking away. It has to be done correctly. Just like your granddaddy's trees, where only two lived, if we just drop 20 million trees in the ground and don't do it properly in the first place, and then don't take care of them after planting, we are just throwing $20 million dollars away. So thank you for bringing this to light in the way you did; in a "we can totally do this, but we need to do it responsibly" sort of way.

What a wonderful idea! A great way to give back to the environment and provide job security to families. For those unaware of the forestry term "thinning" spoken of at 2:50 , around here it's after the pines are roughly 10-15 years old and the trees are crowded up and fighting over resources. Logging crews come in and "thin out" the plantations by harvesting every other tree to allow the surviving trees to thrive until the next harvest.

Dear TeamTrees, you can save *one billion trees* with the money you have raised. It costs you about $20M to plant 20M trees. However, given the fact that toilet papers cost us 384 trees per lifetime of a person, you can buy bidets and/or hoses that costs $20-$30 each. By spending $20M on this, you can buy a MILLION bidets for a million families. That will help saving about (2.5 people per bathroom) × (1,000,000 bathrooms) (384 trees per person) = *1 BILLION trees!!!!* Of course not everyone is a fan of changing from toilet paper to water but finding a million family willing to endorse this idea out of the 122M American families is actually not that hard. You guys have already raised $21M for helping the environment, but with the same amount of money, you can do much more. Guys please like this if you agree with the proposal so that TeamTrees can read it.

Although my area in north Mississippi is far north of the area shown in the video for longleaf pines, I have had excellent success growing them as an ornamental tree in yards that are mowed. The mowing keeps any competitive plants from being near the longleaf pines. No fire needed. I had one tree that was about 50 years old when it was removed because it was near a house. I now live on a lot that is right near the center of my town where I have a longleaf pine that is now about 15 feet high. I have ten more in pots that I will over the next year or two give to others to plant in their yards or I will plant them on public property for people to see and be amazed by their giant pinecones.

Amazing to know how everything plays a crucial part on ecosystem in order to thrive. Another great video. Thanks!

[@decaf-nosebleed]

Also, in Tampa, we have that ecosystem you were talking about when you were in Florida (where Tampa is if you didn't know) and it's the place where lightning strikes the most in the US, so nature really would have that ecosystem on it's own.

Remember everybody, Dr. Kush recommends to burn them trees.

[@Neimonster]

And I thought my dealer was just being facetious

[@daroniussubdeviant3869]

biochar sequesters more carbon than the forest floor does naturally. the trees absorb carbon dioxide when they are alive and growing but as soon as they die they rot and turn back into carbon dioxide unless some other organism, like fungus, takes up the carbon. search biochar.

[@byaafacehead]

Not just any trees, grand daddy's trees. Maybe they can crossbreed to make Grand daddy kush

Here in Finland there is really nothing, but trees.

[@Jake12220]

Same for Canada and a lot of Russia. There are roughly three trillion trees on this planet so 20 million might sound nice, but really doesn't mean much.

@@Jake12220 gotta start somewhere

[@Jonttuf17]

@@Jake12220 yes gotta start somewhere. But more importantly this is a sign that we as a huge community and mostly young people care about this matter. Best case scenario this gets awareness from the politician around the world

[@ekksoku]

@@Jake12220 one of these recent teamtree videos mentioned Russia and Canada are in the top five for planting more trees

[@Jake12220]

@@Jonttuf17 pretty sure the politicians are fully aware, also pretty sure many don't care. If the Chinese doesn't cut its output then the rest is pretty pointless given that they account for more than the next three biggest emitters combined. It's even worse given China signed up to the Paris accord because that was another lovely sounding but rather pointless exercise given it allowed countries like China to continue increasing their CO2 output because it's listed as a developing country. If people want to do something about climate change then they need to be making more serious decisions instead of just the things that sound nice. Then again the worlds power generation will likely go almost fully renewable and nuclear within 20 years anyway purely due to economics, but that's still only one section of the emittions problem. Things like concrete produce almost as much output as all the livestock around the world and we have nothing suitable to replace concrete for now.
