We're pretty fed up with the current state of affairs: wars, internal conflicts, and massive wealth disparity. And the environment is being left behind. These are some of the toughest challenges we face as a civilization - our existential crisis, if you will. But we believe we've found a solution. How about playing trivia and planting trees? In Era Force, when you answer a question correctly, you earn points. You can use these points to plant trees worldwide. Ads fund your trees. We'll use the financial equivalent of those ads, matched with your earned points, to contribute towards planting a portion of a tree. As points accumulate globally, we'll eventually gather enough to purchase a full tree from our partner planting organization, Tree Nation. At that point, we pay them, and they plant the tree. And that’s how we save the planet. It's really that simple. Keep answering trivia correctly, and we'll keep buying trees. Once we've mastered that, we'll move on to the next big thing. If you want to be part of the movement to help save our environment, now is the time. Join us. James Downing August 4, 2024
