# Growlympics: Planting 1 Billion Trees July 22
# 

**TLDR:** We're planting 1 billion trees on 7/22/25 and we're asking Nouns DAO to help us reach this goal by being an official sponsor of the 1 day initiative Growlympics, a worldwide movement! 


**SUMMARY**: 
[Jimi Cohen](https://x.com/JimiCohen/status/1830892593603035487), leader of the Treegens GROWalition, broke the Guinness World Record by planting 30,469 mangrove trees in 24 hours with the help from **[Public NOUNS](https:/publicnouns.wtf/)**. 


**[Creatress](https://x.com/creatressart)**, a long time Nouns community member and environmentalist is joining the Growalition's 1 day initiative as the official Nouns Ambassador and liason!

With the momentum from his world record, Jimi is now scaling his vision globally with a mission to plant 1 billion trees on July 22, 2025— hosting what he’s calling the Tree Planting GROWLYMPICS V1.

Jimi has partnered with 8 countries who are commited to planting on July 22 (including Nigeria, Ethiopia, South Africa, Tanzania, and India) this movement has truly blossomed into a unified international effort. 

To supercharge impact and participation, we’re seeking 10 ETH in sponsorship from Nouns to fund production, media coverage, and help fund cash prizes for the top-performing global planting teams competing in the Growlympics 2025! 

(Here's hoping it becomes an official Olympic sport)
