Hart Cunningham has set out to plant one billion trees. In just four decades, he has participated in planting more than 45 million and is now committed to reaching his goal. The environmentalist and musician wants to spend the next 40 years turning 45 million into a trillion.

Hart Pearson “Sebastian” Cunningham was raised by artists seeking a life that reflected well on 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 was a three-term student at The Michael G. Foster School of Business, University of Washington. 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 complete his Master’s degree in Economics at Claremont Graduate University. At 22 years old, he was the youngest person to accomplish this feat.

Hart’s tree planting increased as his monetary resources grew, and he became the only Ernst and Young three-times ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ Finalist. Hart has maintained his commitment to planting as many trees as possible into 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 at 38 from software architecture. Hart retired from software architecture at the age of 38. He ran for President (Hart2020), a campaign that focused on reducing income inequality and climate change. 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. More personally, he is also invested in his physical health and wellbeing with a focus on contortion.
