Hart Cunningham is on a mission to plant one trillion 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. At age 5, then living in Nova Scotia, he continued his passion for trees with an apple orchard. 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. He wrote his thesis “Economics Related To Humanity and Environment” at 21. This was where he continued his passion for the environment and his love of nature. He returned to California to finish his Master’s in Economics from 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 now plans to spend the next 40 years pursuing his lifetime goal of planting one trillion trees. With more time and freedom to dedicate himself to this goal, he is determined to do even more to save and support the environment. He is more personally invested in his health and well-being, with a particular focus on contortion.
