YouTuber Mr.Beast Starts Tree Planting Campaign, Elon Musk And Tobi Lutke Donates $1 Million Each

Mr.Beast, a famous YouTuber, has started the TeamTrees campaign, which is a program that aims to plant over 20 million trees.

Within just days after the launch of the program, Mr.Beast got $8.2 Million USD, which is equivalent to 8.2 million trees.

Elon Musk and Tobi Lutke have donated $1 Million each.

Jimmy Donaldson, who is famously known as Mr.Beast, is known for his extravagant acts of generosity to the normal people.

His videos include building a mansion made out of cardboard, going through the same drive-thru hundreds of times, going to restaurants and tipping thousands of dollars, and planting 2 million trees, which is considered as his best doing.

Mr.Beast and Mark Rober, a fellow YouTuber, have partnered with the Arbor Day Foundation to raise the money and get the trees in the ground.

Over 300,000 people have made donations to the TeamTreas campaign.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, donated $1 million dollars, and was famously called as “Treelon Musk”.

Mr.Beast donated $100,000, $100,001, and $100,002.

Alan Walker, a Norwegian DJ, $100,001.

Arbor Day Foundation spokesman Danny Cohn said, “The average person can’t afford $150,000 or a million, but we’ve been getting spikes of between 5 and 20 trees every time a large donation comes in and every tree matters, every single donor is important.”

The Arbor Day Foundation said they are going to plant 1 tree each time when someone donates $1.

What some people are worried about is the fact that how they are going to dig 20 million holes and plant 20 million trees.

John said they are going to get the right trees and plant them at the right places by 2022.

John said, “We really want to make sure they are being placed where they can do the most good for the Earth.”

John said celebrities and well-known CEOs are inspiring a lot of people to help and make a change.

John said our generation knows how important planting trees are for our planet’s future and for the upcoming generations.

According to reports, 100 million trees absorb 8 million tons of carbon fiber over their lifetime. 100 million trees are equivalent to taking the pollution caused by 6.2 million cars off the road for 1 year.

The trees are also going to reduce water runoff, filter pollutions, and microparticles from the atmosphere.
