American cities, federal agencies, and corporate giants pledged this week to plant over 800 million trees as the United States launched its Chapter of the 1 Trillion Trees initiative—a global effort led by the World Economic Forum to reduce air pollution, improve human living environments, and promote job creation.
Some 26 American cities, companies, and non-profit organizations joined forces on Aug. 27 to create the world’s first regional chapter of the 1t.org initiative. The 1 Trillion Trees project aims to grow, restore, and conserve 1 trillion trees around the world by 2030.
