Young Felix Finkbeiner from Germany tells of how the inspiration of Wangari Maathai, famed winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, led him and his fellow students to start a project to #PlantTrees, with a goal of planting a trillion trees. Here's a fascinating story of using young people's competitiveness in achieving a wonderful common #ClimateGoal... nothing short of saving their own future world.
Felix has even gotten a couple of apps together, and a website, that enable our viewers to join the project. Go for it!

Change-making is not a spectator sport. Don't bother with 'wet blanket' comments. Not wanting to be rude to our audience, as we used to say growing up in NYC, "Put up or shut up!"
Please send us stories like this we can share, to Contact@FacingFuture.Earth. Whether you think there's hope for humanity or we've strayed too far over the edge, telling the stories of climate and ecological successes, small and large, can inspire us each to act. And remember, it's not all about us. It's about #ProtectingLifeOnEarth, whatever may be humanity's fate. Our appreciation goes out to TEDx Munich, to whom this material is copyrighted.
