Buying a tree and planting it is relatively expensive, around 12€ per tree.
There are already companies that sell trees and NGO but they only plant a few million.
Gigatree aims to plant 200-800 million trees per year with the help of its payment system only with the fees.
The Gigatree project is to give. By donating 50% of its profits to NGOs and 50% to create our own NGO
Gigatree cannot plant trees alone, it needs partner associations that are already in the afforestation sector.
12€ is for a
tree, correct? A full grown tree? I have to admit I never directly involved in a tree planting social activity, but from what I gathered and the farthest I know, the usual "tree" being planted for reforestation are tree
seedlings, which google quick search showed it's merely around 1€?
Further, I'd like to know the data you use for the claim that NGO only plant a few million. Because if I take a quick look at Project Eden, they reported they've planted over 423 million trees. And that's Eden alone, there are still other reforestation NGO that contributes to million other trees.
