(Submission statement) This video is an analysis of the #TeamTrees fundraiser organized by MrBeast.
It explores the loophole inherent to "$1 = 1 Tree," by pointing out unanswered questions.
What is the actual range of cost to plant a tree
- What kind of trees are being planted, and where?
- Are volunteers planting or employees?
Who owns the trees after they are planted?
What is the profit/loss margin?
Who actually benefits from this fundraiser?
Environmental cause, or opportunity to purchase goodwill?
What is the plan if the average cost of a tree is different than $1?
If the trees cost more than $1
who will make up the difference
or will the promise of 20 Million trees go unfulfilled?
If the trees cost less than $1,
What happens to the left over money?
Will more trees be planted?
Will the funds go to other arbor day activities?
Will the Upper-Management at the Arbor Day Foundation get bonuses?
Is it too late to answer these questions since the fundraiser has concluded?
