  1. I'm from China, thanks for your comments, you know Alibaba, right? It also owns the Alipay, which has the Ant Forest program, when you shop around by using Alipay, each time they will generate a small amount of Green Credit for you, which accumulates and when it reaches a certain amount, the program will fund its cooperatives to plant a new tree on your behalf in the deserts. This stimulates users to use their payment method and protect the environment at the same time, which is wonderful. Well, they may not be lying, because they claim their program's impact is visible by satellite and Ant Forest was indeed integrated into the network of China's state-sponsored afforestation programs in 2018 and it was recognized even by the UN with the conferment of the Champion of the Earth award in 2019. As of 2017, Ant Forest said they had planted 10.25 million saplings in the deserts in Western China, which by no means could we verify to be true or false. Anyway Jack Ma is doing something incredible for the environment, other billionnaires should learn from him.
