Tree planting schemes have been used as green-washing more often than they have been sincere or effective means to care for the earth. Some "tree planting" operations are just logging companies who sell the rights of their monoculture fields to companies who want to claim they planted trees. The trees are harvested years later.

In NYC we planted millions of trees. But they just sent saplings and let amateurs spam them wherever. Years later they have all died.
