Ethiopia claims that it has planted more than 350 million trees in a day. The population of Ethiopia is 105 million. So, each person planted 3.5 trees. India's population at 1.06 billion, just about three times that of Ethiopia. Yet, in 2016 India was able to roust 800,000 to plant 50 million trees in a day, or 62.5 a person.
