Question

Taking a bus or subway, making payments online, or just walking-these daily activities can help turn China's deserts into forests if you are using Ant Forest.

Ant Forest is a feature (功能) in the Alipay mobile payment app. It records users' low-carbon activities—taking a bus to work instead of driving, for example—and gives users “green energy". When the user's green energy gets high enough? Ant Forest and its partners will plant a real tree for that person.

Last month, Ant Forest received the 2019 Champions of the Earth award, the UN's highest environmental honor. It won the award by encouraging people to live greener lifestyles and protect the environment.

By the end of August, 2019, about 500,000,000 people had used Ant Forest since it came out in August 2016. Ant Forest and its partners have planted 122,000,000 trees in China's driest areas, including parts of Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Qinghai and Shanxi. The trees protect an area of 12,000 hectares (公顷) land. This makes Ant Forest China's largest tree-planting project started by a private company. Ant Forest also shows us how we can use technology to solve environmental problems.
