These Charities Are Bogus. Here's Why

Team Seas never mentioning the role corporations play in plastic pollution is insane. Coke can easily sell their single serving drinks in glass or aluminum, it won't bankrupt the company to stop manufacturing single use plastic garbage.

It may not be enough but at least their trying

❤❤❤❤❤

it wasnt to save climate change it was a celebration of 20 million subscribers and it stilled helped alot in more foreign areas where the people needed food from the trees or shade etc

in this case with the fires that have happened over the few years. the tree's planted have done nothing. except maybe negate it.

It's important to note that other trees are replaced on a regular basis - not enough but still about a third of the ones cut down are replaced - when calculating the impact mr. Beast contributed. The statistic goes up when considering that he is replacing ones that weren't replaced already. Additionally, the u s. Only loses about 36 million trees a year. For an American to replace 20 million of them is a lot. We can't control what other countries do.

I don’t understand how these guys can do shady things all the time & get away with it

I've always distrusted "rich people" asking the average Joe to donate to any kind of charity they put up. People like MrBeast have literally billions of dollars and are asking people on minimum wage to donate. Can't you see the hypocrisy in their actions?

I’m more concerned over what Mark Rober’s role in this was

Our efforts don't make the difference but we are punished for not participating

Bro is finding anything to hate on Jimmy at this point 😂. This is probably the most stupidest video you’ve made by far.

Old news

So… is Mark Rober considered a good guy or a bad guy?

It is impossible for us to recover our forests to their past strength without stopping deforestation and letting it regrow on its own, we need to focus not on planting as many trees as possible but reducing the actual pollution and deforestation

At this point people are trying to use this controversy to just become relevant

my dad was right when he heard us talking about it he said toilet paper companys alone cut down more than that and plant more than that within a week or so as they plant at least 2 trees for everyone they cut down

Mark Rober physically disgusts me, ever since I found out about his involvement with Mr. Beast.

Calling a charity move of planting 26 million trees and removing 32 tons of waste from the ocean is nothing is absolutely insane.

We got the harry potter from the gas station calling out Jimmy and Mark as if they r the government and it's their responsibility to fix the climate change 💀

Didn't Mr Beast and Mark Rober promote a company that made plastic bottles or sum like that? Lol

Govts already plant 100's of millions of trees a year, they know they need to replant to sustain the industry. The team trees thing was pretty pointless

this video is dumb

It's like saying mrbeast curing 1000 people's blindness of deafness or building wells is useless because there are millions of blind people

All charities are Bogus. They spend a lot on advertisements.

Your face is bogus. You're spitting in the face of everyone who donated to team seas and trees with good intentions. Trash video.

you can't blame the charities though, doing something is better than doing nothing. And maybe it doesn't make a difference on a global level but it makes a difference to a city or a neighborhood or street and that counts. No one can save the world

The primary force behind climate change is wealth. It's the rich who consume so many luxury goods, buy private jets, own the corporations that pollute, value profit above ethics, lobby for laws that serve them, and have exponentially higher footprints. Aaaaaaaaaaaaand Mr Beast has a net worth of half a billion. He can't be the solution to a problem he is a part of. Eco-friendly options and charity are often just smokescreens for seeking profit. Should we be surprised it all turned out to be greenwashing?

This whole video just gives me the vibe of 2 words.

"Grow Up!"

At least they’re doing something bozo

I find this video to be quite poorly done and I can't really understand the point of it. Let me first preface by saying I do not think MrBeast is a good person especially after all that's been released about him and don't even get me started on Ava. However, the issue with this video is that it claims Team Trees movement has not actually made a difference which is wrong. 20 million trees planted is 20 million trees regardless of how many are being cut down in other parts of the states or world and that doesn't even account for all the other trees they continue planting. Sure 40 million are cut down everyday, but what is MrBeast actually supposed to do about that?

He can't go to some other country and ask them to cut down less trees, nor can he even go to companies here or government and ask them to use cheaper alternatives because as you said yourself, these guys are greedy and there's no way in heck they'll go to more expensive alternatives no matter how much money MrBeast gives them. Your video proposes no solutions to this issue and instead just claims that he somehow is diverting the attention away from the actual issue of companies which unless you have proof for, I just don't see that at all. No where in any of his videos does he seem to be trying to help companies divert the blame away from them. People need to be the ones that go out and vote for these policies to force companies to go more green, that has nothing to do with MrBeast and claiming such is just wrong. By your logic, I argue that:

The Police are useless. Sure they prevent crime in a lot of cases, but they don't actually go after the source of why crime happens in the first place and as such don't actually stop the issue at all and crime will continue happening no matter how much the police stop it.

Car safety features are useless. Sure they prevent a good amount of people from dying but that doesn't go after the source of the issue which is drunk drivers that aren't caught or bad roads and people will die regardless of these safety features.

I could go on and on. The point is that what MrBeast does actually does help out and while he can't make a difference for all the trees being cut down, he can certainly try and plant some more even if it doesn't end up amounting to the amount being cut down because it still is better then not. The only argument I may be able to see here is that he should direct his audience a bit more towards voting for these policies to go more green as well but you don't even mention this. That's at least my take on it.

People have said this before and its still relevant today, we have paper straws but plastic cups???????

kinda stupid idea, its like saying holocaust didnt happen because there were more jews getting born in other countries or that the earth doesnt matter because there are more planets in our solar system

“Just because you can’t do everything, doesn’t mean you should do nothing” rubbish video

Honestly, the his video and its message is such garbage age, it hard to even know where to begin.

The efforts of one guy are solving almost 1% of the deforestation problem of the entire world, and you are calling it useless???

Absolute clown 🤡
Only topped by the watchers who uncritically agree with this slob.

Dang

That s stupid, even 0.008% is better than nothing!

This video doesn't touch on the most important part of these tree-planting carbon offsets. Planting a morbillion trees does even less than the pittance you're calculating, because planting trees is not a very effective method. The vast majority of these forests die again, wasting massive amounts of effort. Most of these trees, if they even planted every single one they said they would, are already dead.

Yes, don’t teach kids that they can make a change. Teach them to vote because that’s definitely the only way we can make a difference. This video is stupid and amounts to nothing.

kinda a hateful video ngl

I mean that’s probably .8% more than you’ve done to contribute so to say it’s “not enough” is a little ridiculous. As rich as people are, no one person can change the entire world. Even if you had all of America doing this, they’re still just a drop in the ocean of people on this planet. To achieve the change you are talking about, it would require literal world war. Thats what most people (including you) don’t get. Not a mr beast defender but spreading awareness is still helping, regardless of how small. It’s all we can do.

Lmaooo so it would’ve been better if he had just done nothing at all? This video is stupid lol.

again we can do for ourselves is the best we can do :) , sure we can vote but again politician and etc for me is just no, they all liars. pick your own stuff and reduce plastic thats small thing count for me atleast

This whole video has nothing to do with Mrbeast, it only rides the bandwagon without saying anything of substance.

I disagree that it is solely for PR. You can say that it makes people think they can make a difference when they cant, which i agree with for the most part, a lot of those impressionable children will be more aware of how serious our envrionmental issues are because of these campaigns, thus voting with these views in the future. Could they have made more of an effort to focus on the hellscape that is a corporate run world? Absolutely, but is it fair to say it was solely a PR move that has a net negative effect? In my opinion no.

This vid sucks

I think there's a lot that MrBeast can be criticised for but this is a stretch...

If you give money to a homeless person, you’re actually a big phony because there are millions of homeless people and you didn’t even make a dent in the problem.

Stay drinking soylent.

this just seems like u want charities to stop based on the fact that they dont do enough???
