Environmentalist Reaches 45 Million Trees Planted Over The Last 4 Decades...

Hart Cunningham

Environmentalist, retired software engineer and musician, Hart Pearson "Sebastian" Cunningham has achieved the impressive feat of planting 45 million trees over 40 years. He aims to reach a trillion trees in his lifetime...

Hart Cunningham is on a mission to plant one trillion trees. In just four decades, he has participated in planting more than 45 million and is now committed to reaching his goal. The environmentalist and musician wants to spend the next 40 years turning 45 million into a trillion.

Hart Pearson "Sebastian" Cunningham was raised by artists seeking a life that reflected well on Mother Earth. Hart's quest to plant a trillion trees began at age 3 in Dominica with local vegetation. At age 5, then living in Nova Scotia, he continued his passion for trees with an apple orchard. By the time Hart was 16, he had planted 740 trees, having joined his Buckley High School Classes of '93 - '95 (152 students in total across three years, including Rashida Jones) to spend 14 weeks planting trees on weekends across California.

Hart spent three terms at The Michael G. Foster School of Business at the University of Washington in Seattle. There, he wrote his thesis on "Economics Related to Humanity and Environment" at age 21, continuing his interest in and passion for nature and the environment. He returned to California to finish his Master's in Economics from Claremont Graduate University. He was the youngest recorded to achieve this feat at age 22.

Hart's tree planting increased as his monetary resources grew, and he became the only Ernst and Young three-times 'Entrepreneur of the Year' Finalist. He has continued to strive to plant as many trees as possible throughout adulthood. In total, Hart has funded 19 drone or aerial-focused seed pods, increasing his count to 45 million trees planted in 40 years of service to Mother Earth.

Hart retired from software architecture at age 38. Since taking early retirement, he has run for POTUS (Hart2020) at age 42, with a campaign focused on solving climate change and income inequality globally. Hart is now concentrating on spending the next four decades aiming to reach his lifetime goal of planting a trillion trees. With more time and freedom to dedicate himself to this goal, he is determined to do even more to save and support the environment. More personally, he is also invested in his physical health and wellbeing with a focus on contortion.

Hart can be found on Instagram at @RydermanM, where he shares his thoughts and adventures in physicality, spirituality, travel, and more, as well as demonstrating the benefits of connecting with nature. Hart also spends his time empowering music lovers globally, as musician Ryderman. His music can be found on Spotify and Apple Music. His song 'Stay' has been streamed more than one million times on Spotify.

Public Trust In Tech Companies Reaches New Lows...

Fortune and Harris' new survey of consumer trust in the major tech companies showed that no company surveyed (Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft) can claim that more than half of consumers entrust them with personal data. 

The online survey of more than 2,000 consumers in mid-October found that Amazon topped the list, with 49% of respondents saying they trusted the company with personal data (e.g., browsing history, location data, contacts, and photos). 

How The Big Ones Faired...

Google was approved by 41% of respondents, Microsoft was trusted by 40%, and Apple was approved by 39%. Facebook came in last place, with only 22% of Americans surveyed agreeing they trust them with their personal information, and Apple was fourth despite its efforts to position itself as the most privacy-friendly tech company. 

48% of those polled said that their perception of the company had become much more or somewhat negative over the past six months, while 17% said that their perception has been much more or somewhat positive. 

The public’s distrust of big technology comes at a time when Congress is considering a new, comprehensive federal privacy law.

 Grab AR
Using exciting new AR technology, GRAB AR eliminates the need for long email chains and makes sharing images and information easy for anyone. 

Image sharing is an essential part of any job, hobby, or creative pursuit, and it can often result in long, tedious, and confusing email chains. GRAB AR revolutionises the process of image sharing, eliminating the need for email chains with an easy, innovative interface. GRAB AR is the simplest way to create, save, and share a collection of images with notes and links associated. Users can easily form grab collections and generate word and pdf documents to share.  

GRAB AR is designed with a simple, user-friendly interface that makes augmented reality accessible to anyone. The system includes features that enhance accessibility like browser plugins and website add-ins. The app also gives users the power to generate word or pdf documents quickly and simply form grab collections. Users can grab collections of chosen images on one screen to represent content, double-tap to add or view notes and links, position as desired, and save and share.

In addition to removing an image background, GRAB AR users will be able to add multiple images from a variety of sources. Users can grab images from their camera, a QR code, or a URL. Once the images are in the app, users can double tap the items to add or view any notes or links associated with that item. This allows users to store important information about that item, and make it easy to find at any time.

Users will also be able to move, scale, and resize images. GRAB AR creates an opportunity for users to visualise anything, from a landscape design to a new outfit, through images alone. After creating their collage, users can save it as a .GRABAR file for easy access at any time, and easy sharing. Through the sharing function, users can send visual information and associated links and notes to anyone, allowing for easy education and collaboration.

The GRAB AR app includes a number of helpful features to make any user’s AR experience smooth and functional. The content viewer and QR code scanner are safe, secure, and private, protecting user data, and making sure that users don’t have to share private information with anyone. In addition, the QR code scanner and generator make it easy to save and share items, putting the world within reach through the app.

The GRAB AR app also includes a web app where users can open and create.GRABAR files. This allows for quick access to the file on any device, making it easier to add, view, and manipulate images. This also enables easy sharing of information from the mobile app, allowing users to open it.GRABAR files without the use of the mobile app. GRAB AR also includes a QR code website add-in, another feature allowing easier viewing and sharing.

“Grab AR is a new concept which I haven’t seen before. It’s a total cut and paste scene, making your AR app flexible and customizable. Can’t wait to use more,” said user Usman Zia Ullah.

The GRAB AR mobile app is available to download in free or paid versions. The free version of the app allows for five images in each grab collection, as well as background removal on ten grab images per day. Users can also upgrade to a pro version of the app, which allows for an ad-free experience, collections with up to twenty-five images, and unlimited background removal.

GRAB AR makes it easy for users to interact with and manipulate images in any way they choose. The app makes it easier to collect important data, imagine new systems and projects, and share ideas without losing any important concepts or details.

Social Media Marketing: The Game That Never Stops Changing. How To Win It In 2021...

social media marketing

Small business owners are starting to take notice that social media accounts are huge among other businesses. Increases in the amount of active business accounts on free marketing platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Google Plus are an indication there is a lot to be gained by getting involved.

Unfortunately, many businesses just can’t seem to gain much success in engagement over their social media accounts. When there isn’t any positive result from your social media marketing right away, it can be discouraging. There are a couple of golden rules to remember when you begin your social media campaigns.

The first rule to keep in mind is that consistency is the key.

Although it isn’t impossible, you can’t expect to be an overnight sensation. (However, it must be an awesome feeling) For the most part, it’s going to take some time and effort to get the hang of it all. Once you begin to spend more time and engaging with your new found online community, you will notice that you can actually begin to take part in some interesting conversation. This leads to the second golden rule.

Listen to your fans and friends.

Imagine you are at a small party or get together. You may not know everyone at the time, so you want to kindly introduce yourself. Let your community know who you are and what you do. You may be able to find some people that are in need of your services, without having to throw a sales pitch at them. If you were meeting these people for the first time, and were face to face, you wouldn't constantly tell them why they should buy your services or products.

Instead, you would take part in some small talk. You could talk about sports, current events, or even the weather. You will see that by doing this, you are letting that person know you are human, as opposed to some online robot that is automatically responding with a link to buy from you.

Nobody likes to talk to someone that can go on for hours at a time about the same thing every day.

In a physical encounter, when you’re face to face with someone else, you can’t be the only one talking. You have to do some listening as well. As with any conversation, listening is a major part of the deal. 

Listening and responding accordingly, will build trust in you. And when you earn the trust of people in your community, your business will gain trust as well. And of course then they won’t mind hearing about your products or service from time to time. They may even become advocates for your brand. This means that when they come across someone that needs your product or service, they will be quick to mention your brand.

They could even refer that person to your social media page. This is where you might find that you are gaining more followers or friends in your online community. Be aware of the new faces you see. Thank them for coming to see what your page is all about and welcome them to join in any conversation. Remember that listening is a golden rule. So if you notice any question or comment, whether it be good or bad, reply promptly and consistently!
