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 hopes to transform 45 million acres into a trillion over the next 40 years.

Hart Pearson “Sebastian” Cunningham was raised by artists seeking a life that reflected well on Mother Earth. Hart began his quest to plant a billion trees when he was three years old in Dominica, using local vegetation. He began his love for trees at the age of five, while he was still living in Nova Scotia. By the time Hart was 16, he had planted 740 trees, having joined his Buckley High School Classes of ’93 – ’95 (152 students in total across three years, including Rashida Jones) to spend 14 weeks planting trees on weekends across 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 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 abilities increased with his financial resources. He was the only Ernst and Young three time ‘Entrepreneur of the year’ finalist. Hart has maintained his commitment to planting as many trees as possible into adulthood. Hart has invested in 19 drones or aerial-focused seed pods totaling 45 million trees. This is after 40 years of dedicated 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 now plans to spend the next 40 years pursuing his lifetime goal of planting one 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.
