So Trump and the White House commit to planting a trillion trees. Thats 27 million trees each and every day for the next 100 years. Is THAT really what you are going to do?

Hey, Mrs SATs... You do realize that if you planted 100 trees every second of every day 24 hours a day, it would take over 300 years, to plant a TRILLION trees, right?

On the assumption that this rate of planting could be kept up indefinitely without running out of space to plant trees or money to keep the project going, if we imagine we can plant 100 million trees per year it would take 10,000 years to plant a trillion trees.
