Beau Miles is an Australian youtuber who likes to create challenges for himself. From running for hours to planting a tree every minute for 24 hours straight. He films himself and then lets us watch. For his next challenge he put out a video and he will use the advertising revenue from that video to buy trees. So the more views he gets, the more trees he will buy and plant. He plans to plant the trees along streams in empty fields. You can watch the video at YouTube.

Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire.

The video is at 345,000 views right now. Which would buy over 1,000 trees. Head on over if you want to bump that number up!

In this video Beau takes a look at the forest he planted in 24 hours 4 years ago. He even makes a cup of tea on a fire made with the forest's wood.

In a comment he says that the Ad project brought in $3,564, which will buy 1,782 trees. He's going to plant them before summer starts down in Australia.
