President Donald Trump’s name has been slapped on yet another organization. But unlike Trump Hotels, Trump Steaks and Trump Vodka, money invested in “Trump Forest” won’t land in his piggy bank.
In April, three environmental activists in New Zealand launched the global reforestation project in an effort to counteract negative effects caused by the Trump administration’s dismantling of Obama-era climate policy.
The goal is for “Trump Forest” to grow so large that it can offset additional carbon released into the atmosphere should the White House roll back the Clean Power Plan, legislation enacted under the Obama administration to combat global warming.
To hit that target, Price said over 110 billion trees, covering an area roughly the size of Kentucky, would need to be donated. It’s a lofty goal, Price said, but it’s not their only one.
Aside from planting trees, Price said he hoped individuals involved in the project would gain a greater understanding about climate change, one of the most pressing problems facing the planet.
This week, the number of trees pledged to “Trump Forest” surpassed the 50,000 mark. To help move the project forward, Price said the group is hoping to attract major corporate sponsorship, though they’ve had some trouble convincing companies that fighting climate change is an apolitical undertaking.

Childish, globalist, pissant Statists pushing climate propaganda they can’t prove exists.
IDIOTS!
At least call it Forest Trump.
Seem to recall a statistic or statement that there are more trees, full sized trees, in this country now than there were when Teddy was President.
Mayhaps it’s time to look up that old saw.
KYPD
‘Monumental Stupidity’ does not begin to describe the people who denigrate Trump, a person who gets the climate change hoax.
doesn’t Trump own his own name ? He could probably shut it down.
Meh. They created an Obama forest for the same reason. Once he was out they changed it back to its original name: Alaska
Yep. They are projecting, as they were when they, who voted for obama because he was black, claimed we voted against him because he was black.
So yeah, they are projecting.
“...Price said the group is hoping to attract major corporate sponsorship....” There’s their REAL motive. They don’t give a tinker’s dam (look it up) about carbon, or trees, or AGW. They, like Algore, see a chance to shear the gullible sheep and make a ton of money. IMHO.
The Flat Earth Society agrees.
I decided to save y’all the trouble. A Tinker made his rounds, mending leaky cooking utensils. From the 1877 Common Dictioary of Mechanics: “Tinker’s dam - a wall of dough raised around a place which a plumber (tinker) desires to flood with a coat of solder. The material can be used but once; being consequently thrown away as worthless.”
These kiwi f—ktards should worry about China invading their precious country someday, instead of this bogus “climate change” BS.
When that invasion happens, I hope America says, “No can do. Our involvement may harm the environment down under.”
Nothing wrong with planting trees!
Even when insane people do it.
the project would gain a greater understanding about climate change, one of the most pressing problems facing the planet
I think I see the problem, they really are stuck on stupid.
Most of the Earth’s oxygen comes from the oceans.
They want to plant 110 billion trees. First year 50,000 pledged. Only 109,000,950,000 to go. How many centuries will it take to reach their goal?
Liberals are STUPid, with upper case STUP.
Liberals aren’t that clever.
Not to mention that those billion trees have to be taken from somewhere else... so unless those seeds were all found on a sidewalk (with no possibility of growing)... all these morons did was move a tree from one place to another... which might feel good... but does nothing to save the environment.
Snowflakes, who said...”Ay Chad...I know a way to get us in da News...”.
