Priyanka satia 4/30/2022 11:18 AMA Chinese proverb said that the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, and that time is now. You can join non-profit organizations that plant trees. A tree that you planted today will fully grow in the next 30 years. You can also use Ecosia as your search engine because it uses ad revenue from your searches to plant trees. All the planted trees will fight erosion. The best time to plant a tree is now. -
