The Future Today: Ethiopians Planted 353,633,660 Trees… in a Single Day
Shouldn’t all the headlines look like that? The people of Ethiopia planted 353 million trees in 12 hours on July 29. The kind of story that makes you feel like there isn’t a problem in the world that can’t be solved… doesn’t it.
Forget, for a moment, the heartbreaking fires raging from Bolivia to Siberia, forget this month being on track to become the hottest July in recorded history — perhaps the hottest month in recorded history. Instead, turn your eyes again toward a country whose peace deal with neighboring Eritrea is still fresh in the world’s mind. Ethiopia is restoring its lost forests.
