C Reading
When he was nine years old, Felix Finkbeiner gave a class
presentation on climate change. The young German spoke about
deforestation and its effect on the planet. At the end of his talk, he
challenged the people of his country to help by planting one million
trees. Nobody thought much would come of a nine-year-old's school
project. Before he was 20, however, Finkbeiner's efforts had resulted in
the planting of more than 14 billion trees around the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named “Plant-forthe-Planet” - by planting the first tree outside their school. Other
schools followed the example, and news of the one-million challenge
spread. As a result, Finkbeiner was asked to speak at the European
Parliament. Other invitations soon followed, and when he was just 13,
he spoke at a United Nations conference in New York. “We cannot trust

that adults alone will save our future,” he said in the speech. “We have
to take our future in our hands.”
Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the-Planet is an
organization with around 70,000 members. It works to teach people
about climate change and to encourage the planting of more trees.

one trillion - 150 for every person on Earth
