350M are a lot of trees to be planted in a day. I've done tree planting and the estimated time/effort don't add up. I'm skeptical about the numbers. Seed planting is a different story

What are you estimating as the effort?
- crististm 7y ago
  20-40 trees per person per day

    Times 10% population = 350M
    - crististm 7y ago
      Because 10% of the population have nothing to do in a day and voluntarily plant trees? Hmmm... I might be underestimating Ethiopians though...

        Did you try reading any of the links people have added in this thread? Schools and government offices were closed. This was a big event that was planned for months. 10% participation sounds absolutely plausible if not lower than I'd expect.

        No. I would assume if this was such a big event that the original article would cover it. I guess it was that big that they did not need to add any details.

        They didn't bother with _any_ details ...
