    I.... Cannot believe that this video has only gotten 22,000 views. And now the #TeamTrees fundraiser is getting so much traction to raise 20 million dollars to plant 20 million trees... Yeah, that fundraiser/initiative is amazing, and it's great that it's happening, but... You guys literally did 25% of that, to full-grown trees in the Amazon, with just a couple thousand dollars. Like... What?! I wish this video had more traction. If some of that money went to preserving existing forests instead of just planting new ones, it'd clearly have a much greater contribution. Man. Kurtis, you really are amazing and you really are undervalued. It's a shame more people don't know about this.

    @okmikaelaok Yes, I know, and yes, it is to a very good cause. And the fact that it is happening is wonderful. My point is that it's disappointing that more people don't know about *this*, which is a really amazing feat and the money was put to much greater use with what Kurtis did. I'm glad that they're planting new trees, and I'm so glad that TeamTrees has gotten the attention that it has. It's just that I wish more people knew about the importance of saving existing trees, as well.
