Is PornHub Planting Trees?

It may sound like an unlikely combination, but PornHub, the famous adult website, has actually launched a campaign to plant trees in exchange for views on its videos. The project is called "Pornhub Gives America Wood," and it aims to help the environment by planting a tree for every 100 videos watched on the website.

The Idea Behind the Project

The goal behind the Pornhub Gives America Wood project is to make a difference in the environment by planting trees. According to the website, the project's goal is to positively impact the world by planting trees as well as fewer acknowledgements of deforestation. PornHub partnered with several non-profit organizations such as the Arbor Day Foundation, the International Tree Foundation, and the Make Me a Tree Foundation to help with the project.

The campaign was launched on Earth Day in 2019, and it has been successful in getting people to view more adult content. The website donated over $100,000 towards the project which resulted in over 10,000 trees planted in various locations throughout the United States.

How the Project Works

PornHub's project works similarly to other crowdfunding campaigns. When viewers watch 100 videos on the website, PornHub sends a donation to its partnered non-profit organizations to plant a tree. The targeted number of videos watched is calculated for each user based on their viewing history, and while some people get to remove a significant CO2 amount from the atmosphere with each video watched, others would have to watch significantly more to plant one tree.

The project is a great way to make a positive difference in the environment without asking people to donate money directly. Instead, the project encourages people to consume content which they already would have watched and indirectly donate to the project for free. Watching adult content has never been as beneficial to the planet as it is now, thanks to Pornhub's initiative.

Conclusion

The "Pornhub Gives America Wood" project is a fascinating combination of adult content and environmentalism. It shows that even the most unlikely combination of things can come together in a positive way. This initiative demonstrates that with a bit of creativity, any industry could do something to help reduce the negative impact on the environment.

The project has already had a considerable impact, with the first planting of trees happening in September of 2019. With more campaigns like this, we can create awareness, reduce carbon emissions and help make the world a better place.
