One Million Trees Pledged to 'Trump Forest' to Offset President's Anti
The idea behind the effort is simple. " US President Donald Trump  doesn't believe in the science of human-caused climate change.  He  wants to ignore one of the greatest threats to healthy life on Earth " the project website states.
" Trump  wants to bring back coal despite scientists telling us we cannot afford to burn it  and despite economists telling us there's more money to be made and more jobs available in renewable energy " the statement continues. "So we're planting a forest to soak up the extra greenhouse gases  Trump  plans to put into our atmosphere. We're planting a global forest to offset  Trump 's monumental stupidity."
The forest does not have a single  physical location. Rather  anyone who wants to participate in the project can plant trees anywhere around the world in  Trump 's name. Once that's done  you send the group a receipt so the contribution is added to the global Trump Forest map. You can also directly donate to Trump Forest partner Eden Reforestation Projects  a non-profit that works in developing countries to rebuild natural landscapes destroyed by deforestation.
The organizers' goal is to plant 10 billion trees—an area roughly the size of Kentucky—to make up for the carbon dioxide that would be released into the atmosphere should the  Trump  administration continue to roll back environmental regulations and push for fossil fuels.
"Despite new evidence of the chaos of climate change every day   Trump  continues to use  his  position to exacerbate the problem and prop up the fossil fuel industry. We really look forward to making Earth great again."
