When he was 9 years old, Felix Finkbeiner was asked to give a speech in class on climate(气候) change. The young German spoke about depredation(砍伐森林) and its influences on the planet. At the end of his talk, he called on the people of his county to help by planting one milling trees. __________________. Before he was 20, however, Finkbeiner's hard work had resulted in the planting of more than 14,00000, 000 trees around the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project - named "Plant – for – the - Planet" –by planting the first tree outside their school. Other schools followed the example, and news of the one-million project began to spread. As a result, Finkbeiner was even given an invitation to speak at the European Parliament. Other invitations soon followed, and when he was just 13, he spoke at a United Nations conference in New York. "We don't think that adults(成年人) alone will save our future," he said in the speech. "We have to take our future in our own hands."
Finkbeiner is now in his twenties, and Plant-for-the- Planet has grown to be an organization with around 70,000 members. It works to teach people about climate change and to challenge them to plant more trees. Germany's one millionth tree was planted long ago. The goal now is to plant 1,000,000,000,000 trees - about 150 for every person on Earth.
Finkbeiner continues to give talks on climate change to world leaders. "I don't think we can give up on this generation(一代人) of adults," he says, "and wait 20 or 30 years for our generation to come to power. We don't have that time. All we can do is push present world leaders in the right direction."
