600名youtube用户承诺共同种植2000万棵树来应对气候变化

As Mahatma Gandhi once said, “If you want to see the world change, you have to start with yourself.” And all the while, just as he must have had some small changes that would later catalyze some bigger change, some people just have to go big or go home. YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson, more commonly known by his online alias, MrBeast, is certainly not one of the latter. After so many people all over social media urged him to celebrate getting 20 million subscribers on YouTube by planting a symbolic 20 million trees, he couldn’t say no and took up the challenge.

正如圣雄甘地曾经说过，“如果你想看到世界改变，你必须从自己开始。”在这段时间里，就像他一定有过一些小的改变，而这些小的改变后来会促成更大的改变一样，有些人要么做大，要么回家。youtube用户吉米·唐纳森更广为人知的网名是“比斯特先生”(MrBeast)，他肯定不是后一种人。在社交媒体上有那么多的人敦促他种植2000万棵树来庆祝YouTube上的2000万订阅者之后，他不能说不，接受了挑战。

After hitting 20 million subs on YouTube, MrBeast was urged by people on various social media platforms to plant 20mln trees in celebration

在YouTube上点击了2000万次后，人们在各种社交媒体平台上呼吁比斯特种植2000万棵树来庆祝

After getting spammed on Twitter, Reddit and all over the comment section on his YouTube videos, MrBeast decided it was time to step up and just roll with the incredible idea of celebrating hitting 20 million subscribers on his channel by planting 20 million trees.

在他的YouTube视频的推特、Reddit和评论区收到垃圾邮件后，比斯特先生决定，是时候采取行动了。

With a handful of friends, he managed to plant 300 trees on the first day

他和几个朋友在第一天就种了300棵树

As it seems like a pretty difficult task for one person, he teamed up with 600 YouTubers with an impressive 650 million subscribers collectively. He felt the need to add that “we all realize 20 million trees won’t fix climate change. But at the end of the day 20 million more trees is better than 0! We want to take action because doing nothing is how we got here!”

这对一个人来说似乎是一项相当艰巨的任务，他与600名youtube用户合作，总共拥有6.5亿用户。他觉得有必要补充一句:“我们都意识到2000万棵树并不能解决气候变化问题。”但在一天结束的时候，2000多万棵树总比0多好!我们想采取行动，因为什么都不做是我们走到今天这一步的原因!”

He called out to his subscribers as well and managed to raise the number of planted trees up to 1,700 the next day

他也号召他的订阅者，并设法在第二天将植树的数目增加到1700棵

He partnered up with great creative minds such as Rhett & Link, Marshmello, AsapScience, Jeffree Star, Simone Giertz, The Try Guys and Mark Rober. Some of them brought their own twists to the idea and went on to search for the most efficient ways to plant such a huge amount of trees.

他与伟大的创意人才合作，如瑞德与林克，马斯梅罗，AsapScience，杰弗瑞明星，西蒙妮·吉尔茨，尝试的家伙和马克·罗柏。他们中的一些人带着他们自己的想法，继续寻找最有效的方法来种植如此大量的树木。

After realizing he’d need much more than that to achieve his goal, MrBeast partnered up with Arbor Day Foundation

比斯特先生意识到，要实现他的目标，他需要的远不止这些，于是他与植树节基金会合作

The foundation will plant a tree for every dollar donated

基金会将为捐赠的每一美元种一棵树

But the YouTuber community wasn’t the only one that MrBeast turned to. He urged his fans and followers to join him on this beautiful mission to help climate change by planting trees. He also teamed up with Arbor Day Foundation who will plant a tree for every dollar donated. They state that most of the trees planted will be native to a variety of state and national forests managed by government agencies.

但YouTuber社区并不是比斯特先生唯一的求助对象。他鼓励他的粉丝和追随者加入到这个美丽的使命中来，通过植树来帮助气候变化。他还与植树节基金会(Arbor Day Foundation)合作，后者将为捐赠的每一美元种植一棵树。他们表示，种植的大部分树木将是由政府机构管理的各种州和国家森林的原生树种。
