What if there were 1 trillion more trees? - Jean-François Bastin?

Imagine if your favorite park had 1 trillion more trees, that’s like adding a whole new forest every day for thousands of years!

Let’s say you and your friends love playing in the park, and it has 100 trees. Now imagine there were 1 trillion more trees, that would be like having a million parks with 1,000 trees each! Trees help clean the air, give us oxygen to breathe, and are homes for birds and bugs.

A trillion is a really big number. If you had 1,000 paperclips in your hand, that’s 1,000, but if you had 1,000 of those groups, that would be a million! Now imagine having a thousand of those, that's a billion. And then one more thousand of that, that’s 1 trillion!

If there were 1 trillion more trees, the Earth would have even cleaner air and more places for animals to live. It’s like giving your favorite park a super big playground, not just for you, but for all the little creatures that call it home!
