Dear patrons,

This is special.

Starting today, across YouTube and other platforms on the social internet, hundreds of creators are releasing videos as part of a huge creator-led campaign to plant trees and send a message to politicians that we care about the earth and that it's time for them to get serious about climate change. The goal is to plant 20 million trees by 2020, which means raising $20 million. That's a lot of money. We're going to contribute the ad revenue from this video to the cause, and if you'd like to contribute some money as well, please do.

Thank you, as always, for your support. Today, even more than usual, we're appreciative to be a part of this online community. We're excited to see what happens as a result of so many 'influencers' coming together for a joint cause, and we're grateful to have you as part of the community. Together, let's try to make a positive impact in the world! Sappy, yes, but it's how we feel.

Thanks for tree-ting us well.

Alex, on behalf of the team
