A Tree for Every Twitter Follower

Hello, everyone!

I am Asiimwe Mourine, a Ugandan that is passionate about environmental protection. I have been Miss Conservation Kigezi 2019/20, and I plant a tree for everyone of my Twitter followers (@MourineAsiimwe).

In the battle against global warming

Climate crisis has become a global warming challenge. Its effects are real and do not have discrimination on age, gender, color, or even race—everyone on earth is being affected. It's also true that the next generation will be much more affected with extreme increases in global temperature, droughts, and water crises, all leading to death.

Hence there is urgency to act now.

A planted tree remains hope for the future. Trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere through the process of photosynthesis which helps to guard against climate change. Trees are always on our side in the battle against global warming among their other various uses.

A TREE FOR A FOLLOWER

With the diverse importance of trees, billions & millions of trees have been cut down without replacement.

And yes, not everyone can manage to go the fields to plant a tree but whoever follows me on Twitter gets a tree planted after his or her name.

I have been unapologetic and committed to plant a tree for everyone who follows me on Twitter (@MourineAsiimwe) as a solution to climate change and to interconnect media with typical climate action through tree planting.

This is an initiative that I started last year on April 22, 2020 (Earth Day 2020) on the day I joined Twitter.

364 trees have already been planted for my followers

With personal efforts, a total of 364 trees have already been planted for my followers. Excitedly, the number of followers has been tremendously increasing, which highly motivates me to plant more trees to save mother earth.

It's with this courage that I aim at planting trees for my followers both old and new before this April 22, 2021 (Earth Day 2021), as I will be celebrating one year on Twitter.

CALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT: 776 TREES MORE

More trees would have been planted to match with my current number of followers, which is 776, but I am facing challenges in meeting costs for tree seedlings, transportation, and labor to care for our already planted trees. I therefore request for your support.

A tree seedling costs $1.

Transportation of seedlings to planting areas costs $10.

Labour caring for the trees costs $3 on a daily basis.

Little is much and donating to this campaign is worth saving mother earth for now and for future generation.
