A Million More Trees by Midnight
However many trees you plant before midnight on Sept. 30th, I’ll personally match it.
Last night, President Donald Trump again refused to acknowledge the overwhelming scientific evidence: climate change is not just painfully real, it is undoubtedly driven by human behavior.
This type of denial is not only ignorant, it is life-threateningly dangerous.
The experts agree: human activity plays an indisputable role in climate change. We can no longer shy away from accepting responsibility—if we don’t take immediate and drastic action to curb global warming, there will be no “beautiful, clean air” for our children to breathe.
Reforestation significantly improves our air and water quality, and can dramatically curb climate change. Trees absorb and store the carbon dioxide emissions that drive global warming. Research shows that reforestation is one of the most effective and cheapest ways to take CO2 out of the atmosphere to address the climate crisis.
No one person can single-handedly stop climate change. But together, we can steer the planet in the right direction. That’s why -- whatever number of trees you plant before midnight, tonight, September 30th -- I’ll personally match it.
You can plant as many trees as you wish for $1.00 each, and I’ll match you tree for tree, up to one million trees.
Planting trees is the least we can do. Our leaders should be doing a lot more: championing bold policies like the Green New Deal, ending fracking, and transforming our energy system away from fossil fuels.
Instead, we have a President who pulled us out of the Paris Climate Agreement, rolled back environmental safety measures, and prioritizes the greed of fossil fuel executives over the health and safety of the American people.
When we founded Aspiration, we vowed to never put profit ahead of people and the planet.
We’ve planted well over 2 million trees in the past few months, and our movement is just getting started.
Let’s see if we can double that before September ends. If you all plant a million trees, I’ll plant a million trees.
Let’s give our growing Aspiration forest a big boost.
I’m putting my money on the table. Will you join me?
