600名youtube用戶承諾共同種植2000萬棵樹來應(yīng)對(duì)氣候變化
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.
正如圣雄甘地曾經(jīng)說過,“如果你想看到世界改變,你必須從自己開始。”在這段時(shí)間里,就像他一定有過一些小的改變,而這些小的改變后來會(huì)促成更大的改變一樣,有些人要么做大,要么回家。youtube用戶吉米·唐納森更廣為人知的網(wǎng)名是“比斯特先生”(MrBeast),他肯定不是后一種人。在社交媒體上有那么多的人敦促他種植2000萬棵樹來慶祝YouTube上的2000萬訂閱者之后,他不能說不,接受了挑戰(zhàn)。
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上點(diǎn)擊了2000萬次后,人們?cè)诟鞣N社交媒體平臺(tái)上呼吁比斯特種植2000萬棵樹來慶祝
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視頻的推特、Reddit和評(píng)論區(qū)收到垃圾郵件后,比斯特先生決定,是時(shí)候采取行動(dòng)了。
With a handful of friends, he managed to plant 300 trees on the first day
他和幾個(gè)朋友在第一天就種了300棵樹
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!”
這對(duì)一個(gè)人來說似乎是一項(xiàng)相當(dāng)艱巨的任務(wù),他與600名youtube用戶合作,總共擁有6.5億用戶。他覺得有必要補(bǔ)充一句:“我們都意識(shí)到2000萬棵樹并不能解決氣候變化問題。”但在一天結(jié)束的時(shí)候,2000多萬棵樹總比0多好!我們想采取行動(dòng),因?yàn)槭裁炊疾蛔鍪俏覀冏叩浇裉爝@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
他也號(hào)召他的訂閱者,并設(shè)法在第二天將植樹的數(shù)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.
他與偉大的創(chuàng)意人才合作,如瑞德與林克,馬斯梅羅,AsapScience,杰弗瑞明星,西蒙妮·吉爾茨,嘗試的家伙和馬克·羅柏。他們中的一些人帶著他們自己的想法,繼續(xù)尋找最有效的方法來種植如此大量的樹木。
After realizing he’d need much more than that to achieve his goal, MrBeast partnered up with Arbor Day Foundation
比斯特先生意識(shí)到,要實(shí)現(xiàn)他的目標(biāo),他需要的遠(yuǎn)不止這些,于是他與植樹節(jié)基金會(huì)合作
The foundation will plant a tree for every dollar donated
基金會(huì)將為捐贈(zèng)的每一美元種一棵樹
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社區(qū)并不是比斯特先生唯一的求助對(duì)象。他鼓勵(lì)他的粉絲和追隨者加入到這個(gè)美麗的使命中來,通過植樹來幫助氣候變化。他還與植樹節(jié)基金會(huì)(Arbor Day Foundation)合作,后者將為捐贈(zèng)的每一美元種植一棵樹。他們表示,種植的大部分樹木將是由政府機(jī)構(gòu)管理的各種州和國(guó)家森林的原生樹種。
