Would you pay for a tree to offset Trump’s climate policies? New Zealand “Trump Forest” project gains 120,00 pledges. It’s Canada’s turn, let us plant or support the planting of “Trump Trees”.

A Trump Tree?

Why?

US President Donald Trump doesn’t believe in the science of human-caused climate change. He wants to ignore one of the greatest threats to healthy life on Earth.
Trump wants to bring back coal despite scientists telling us we cannot afford to burn it, and despite economists telling us there’s more money to be made and more jobs available in renewable energy.

So a New Zealand group is planting a forest to soak up the extra greenhouse gases Trump plans to put into our atmosphere.
They say they are planting a global forest to offset Trump’s monumental stupidity.
This is not a fund raiser. They want people to go to nurseries or a charity and donate a tree or seedling in the president’s name and send a copy of the receipt to them to go on the list.

Canadians could do this. Plant or sponsor a planting of a Trump Tree and start a list. New Zealand started in a big way and have hit over 130,000 trees in their “Trump Forest” in, the last 6 months.

I noticed there are lots of non-profit charitable organizations involved with planting trees for as little as a dollar. They are worthy causes, and if my loonie donated in Trump’s name makes a point, I’m in.
Planting a tree is a good thing in any case and if it helps raise awareness to call it a “Trump Tree” I will do it.
Now how do I get started? Who do I call? Trump Busters?

I will start with checking out Treecanada.ca, earth day.org. alivingtribute.org and see where that goes. I might stop by a local nursery and ask, buy a seedling and plant a Trump Tree in my yard. You?
