Understanding the Trillion Tree Campaign

What inspired MrBeast to start the tree planting campaign?

• A request from a friend

• A personal challenge

• A government initiative

• A viral scientific study

What percentage of a tree is made up of carbon captured from the air?

• Exactly 75%

• Less than 10%

• About 25%

• Over 50%

Why are young trees not as effective in carbon storage as mature forests?

• They emit more carbon than they absorb

• They grow too slowly

• They require too much water

• They are more susceptible to diseases

What was the survival rate of the trees planted by MrBeast?

• 25%

• 50%

• 6%

• 80%

What is a key advantage of old forests in terms of climate resilience?

• They require less maintenance

• They grow faster

• They provide shade and moisture

• They are more diverse

What is the most effective way to increase forest carbon storage according to the study?

• Reducing harvest on public lands

• Planting more trees

• Increasing logging activities

• Using fertilizers

What is the potential of forests in terms of carbon storage?

• They can store only a small fraction of carbon emissions

• They can store about a third of the carbon released since the Industrial Revolution

• They can store all the carbon released in the last decade

• They have no significant impact on carbon storage

What is the main focus of the Trillion Tree campaign?

• Reducing carbon emissions

• Planting a trillion trees

• Increasing timber production

• Promoting biodiversity

What is a major drawback of focusing solely on tree planting for carbon storage?

• It ignores the importance of existing forests

• It is too expensive

• It requires too much land

• It is not supported by science

What is a recommended strategy for sustainable forest management?

• Using more pesticides

• Planting only fast-growing species

• Clear-cutting more frequently

• Increasing the harvest interval
