Shoutout to everyone who has an
account on Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter!
I’m not exactly proud of this but there are days when I spend hours on social media, which means hours of zero productivity. A
few nights ago, I stumbled upon one of my friends’ stories on Instagram where
she shared a post that said “double tap to plant a tree.” My first thought was
finally, another way to use social media for good!
Based in Canada, tentree is a brand that sells
sustainable lifestyle apparel. They plant ten trees for every product purchased
from them. So far, they have planted over 30 million trees and their goal is to
plant 1 billion trees by 2030. Sounds impossible? Read on.
In observation of Earth Week,
tentree made it their mission to plant one tree for every ten likes that
their post gets
on Instagram. In just 24 hours, they reached their goal of 5,000,000 likes
which means they will plant 500,000 trees!
Having a bigger belief on social
media, tentree now has an updated goal which I believe is not impossible to
achieve: get 20 million likes in order to plant 1 million trees. As of this
writing, the post now has more than 15 million likes!
So what exactly can we do to
support tentree’s cause?
- Go to their Instagram page and like their post.
- Tag your
friends, celebrities, influencers, your haters, fan accounts, your crush…
- Share tentree’s post!
tentree also has posts on
Facebook and Twitter. It will literally take you less than a second to hit like
so please don’t consider this a chore!
A lot of people ask tentree why
they have to earn likes in order to plant trees. This is about awareness—making
a huge impact to MILLIONS of people AROUND THE WORLD. If an egg or a baby picture can
get millions of likes for no reason, why not a photo that will help save the
environment?
TL;DR: Like this post and
help plant 1 million trees!
