Hi Kurtis, I don't want to cause trouble but I'd like to know your view on the youtube tree planting fundraiser going around. You clearly made a different choice (that I tend to agree with).
Can we start a challenge? What if Mrbeast does a multiple part sponsored video where he donates more than you guys?

@@user-vn7ce5ig1z I think "One Million" is more clickbaity than "Five Million". It is still a huge number, and by making it a bit bigger it might actually sound smaller. One million might be a hard to reach milestone. But five million makes it sound like it isn't as hard to do.

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.
Hi, I love how you were one of the first to start this movement. Now huge KZreadrs are doing the same. I'm proud of this channel.
This should be trending honestly, this is such a huge shot of perspective.
Great! All the best Kurtis and to your friend Levi in your initiative to save the forests. Kudos to the noble cause you are working for. Keep inspiring
Love. love. love!
You guys are the REAL HEROS.
Thanks, Kurtis!
SO INCREDIBLE! Rather than explaining already-explaines issues, you are helping to solve the problem. Amazing!!!
Wow, I love the #TeamTrees idea, but this is just so so much cooler! Thank you so much Kurtis for saving 5 million trees!
I found out about this video through Aspect Science. Instead of channeling money to offset my carbon footprint by planting trees, I decided to use the same amount of money to save trees via the Rainforest Trust project. Based on the tree density mentioned in your video, I saved more than 83k trees. Thank you for making this video.
Yeeeeey, Levi and Kurtis in one video! 😊 You guys are definitely super heroes, even if you say you aren't! Great news and thank you for making a change!

I cant understand how they manage to protect 1 acre for Only 0.76$ like what the heck
Awesome action! Congratulations!
I just smiled throughout the video. Thank you, Kurtis. You are doing great. Thank you.

Fantastic! Would be great if you could do this in Brazil next time, as the president is encouraging the fires there. Also consider Madagascar as there's much less work going into protecting their old growth rainforest which is much like that of the Amazon.
Thank you for your contribution to the planet. I, as a KZreadr will try to further the efforts by spreading the word!

All the team trees KZread’s need to see this- $20,000,000 worth of planted trees is much less efficient than $20,000,000 of trees saved
Just set up a standing order to donate monthly to Rain Forest Trust. Thanks for the idea Kurtis. Keep up the good work.
Good job guys
Assuming the same rate per sq. km, buying the whole Amazon rainforest would be 1.5 billion USD. That's roughly 40% of the money pledged to begin border wall construction, 1% of the fortune of Jeff Bezos, and .2% of the 2019 Defense Budget.

Hey, Kurtis, my name is Thomaz, I'm from Brasil. I just wanna contribute with some understandings. The burnings aren't just for mining and agriculture, but a lot of the extension that is being burned is destined for cattle breeding. When it is used... I heard some stories about how bad the indigenous are being thread, as we were back to 1500... It's really sad! But with some good intentions as yours, I know we can be better to the world! Thanks for the action!
This is a good video!!! And awesome message. Thank you!!!
Youre the best!

Its good that you all were able to do that - however what might be a cool idea if the subscribers could adopt a tree ?
I am now thinking this should be an initiativ to propose for all native people. Sami are the natives of Sweden and I would loce seeing them own the lands they live on. Kurtis, have you looked into doing something similar for buying land in Canada and donating it to people who will care for it properly?
the team trees before team trees
This makes me super excited and super sad and all kinds of things!!
