$2,297 raised$2,020 goal

Why I'm Doing It:



We need more trees to stop the climate crisis!

In 2020 my goal was to raise $2020 and we were able to collect $2,325 and plant 2325 trees with OneTreePlanted. This year I want to raise even more... (updated in 2022)


Shocked by the fires in Australia at the end of 2019, I felt an urgent need to do something about #climateChange. I have lived in Australia for 5 years and I love its wildness and the abundance of nature there. Even in a city like Sydney you can find empty beaches and poisonous snakes and spiders in your backyard. We lived in Sydney, and near Byron Bay and Coffs Harbour and the tropical forests around there are just so beautiful.


I love trees and I have been part of Clare Dubois TreeSisters movement for years. She started very small and humbly with a regular online meditation circle, deepening our relationship with mother nature. And it was through her that I found a lot of information on trees and their high effectiveness and importance to stop climate change. You can read more about this also in this article on CNN.

The most effective way to tackle climate change? Plant 1 trillion trees.


This seems daunting until seen from a larger perspective. There are now around 7.53 billion people on earth and to plant 1.2 Trillion trees each would have to plant 160 trees. That doesn’t seem such a huge number anymore.


To get the most impact planting them it seems highly impractical for me to start this in my backyard and plant them all myself. I can hardly keep my garden alive without it being eaten by gophers and deer. So I am leaving that to the professionals. What I CAN do is paint - paint trees - and thru painting - raise money to plant trees.


So here is my pledge for this year: I am going to raise enough money to plant way more trees than last year.


Will You help me?


(This is a continued fundraiser that has already raised $794 on the previous platform)
I am also raising funds with TreeSisters as mentioned.
