Hart Cunningham is on a mission to plant one trillion trees. He has planted more than 45 millions trees in his four decades of experience and is determined to reach his goal. The environmentalist and musician wants to spend the next 40 years turning 45 million into a trillion.
Hart Pearson “Sebastian” Cunningham was brought up by artists who wanted a life that was good for Mother Earth. Hart’s quest to plant a trillion trees began at age 3 in Dominica with local vegetation. He began his love for trees at the age of five, while he was still living in Nova Scotia. Hart, who was 16 years old, had already planted 740 trees. He joined the Buckley High School Class of ’93-’95 (152 students total over three years), to plant trees 14 weeks a week in California.
Hart spent three terms at The Michael G. Foster School of Business at the University of Washington in Seattle. There, he wrote his thesis on “Economics Related to Humanity and Environment” at age 21, continuing his interest in and passion for nature and the environment. He returned to California to finish his Master’s in Economics from Claremont Graduate University. He was the youngest recorded to achieve this feat at age 22.
Hart’s tree planting abilities increased with his financial resources. He was the only Ernst and Young three time ‘Entrepreneur of the year’ finalist. He has continued to strive to plant as many trees as possible throughout adulthood. In total, Hart has funded 19 drone or aerial-focused seed pods, increasing his count to 45 million trees planted in 40 years of service to Mother Earth.
Hart retired from software architecture at age 38. Since taking early retirement, he has run for POTUS (Hart2020) at age 42, with a campaign focused on solving climate change and income inequality globally. Hart is now concentrating on spending the next four decades aiming to reach his lifetime goal of planting a trillion trees. Hart is now able to devote more time and energy to the environment, and he has more freedom. He is more personally invested in his health and well-being, with a particular focus on contortion.
