Have you looked outside lately.
I will try and layoff.


I do lay blame at Bolsonaro door. Some of this is his making.

It was a beautiful autumn day where I am. Nice foliage and a great day for a drive in my ICE car.

Bolsonaro is into the rainforest deforestation for profit, can’t say I agree with that personally and hopefully the trees that are planted by various countries, will compensate. 7 Billion trees were planted. USA has far fewer trees than Brazil and about 3x less trees than Russia which also relies heavily on logging as one of their exports.

How many trees were planted in 2019?


About 7 billion trees. Planting trees to help alleviate the impacts of climate change was pretty much the theme for 2019. There were thousands of organizations, events, and causes that sought to help plant as many trees as possible.

In the US alone, the country planted more than 5 million trees over the year across 18,000 acres of the National Forests.

Countries like Ethiopia almost made a Guinness World Record with their 4billion tree planting initiative when they tried to plant 200million trees in a day. In slightly over 12 hours, the country reported planting 353,633,660 trees – which was 100m trees more than their target.

In the UK, the government reported planting over 3,281,000 trees across a 1,956-hectare piece of land. For Brazil, more than 4.7 million trees were planted to help recover the forest cover lost from fires.

Turkey also famously planted around 11million trees in late 2019.

With most countries setting tree planting initiative goals for 2030 and 2050, we can expect even more trees to be planted in 2020 and the subsequent years.
