I'm interested in partnering.
I envision it as crowdfunding surrounded with some form of community. Buy up land, plant trees, webcams and video's to visit it, excursions to go there for a picknick. I love the idea tho give each tree an email/web/chat address. But also plant solar panels. Conservation, buy or lease pieces of rainforest that need protecting.
Attract the money from carbon tax, emission rights, companies and governments that want to greenwash their reputation. I have been inspired to work on this ever since seeing [1] when I was 10 years old.
My grandfather bought a forest and walked me through it when I was a 4 year old boy. It instilled the idea of stewardship for our planet.
And then there is the (mythical) 500 year old tree story about New College, Oxford to inspire [2].
A trillion trees is not enough, there are 3 trillion already, we need to double that [3].
When I go on walks I'll check up on all the trees my mom or dad and I talked about. I'll visit them, rather then their graves.
