MrBeast has done plenty of philanthropic and social work over the course of years. In 2019, he was suggested by a fan to plant 20 million trees for reaching 20 million subscribers. In order to achieve this goal, he started a collaborative fundraiser to raise $20 million and plant 20 million trees worldwide before 2020. The best part about this was that it exceeded its goal of $20 million and was able to raise a total of $23,605,170. The estimated 23 million trees would take up 81 square miles of land and would absorb around 1.6 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere.
Furthermore, he had started another ecological campaign called The Team Seas on October 2021. The aim of this campaign was to clean the oceans and water bodies around the world and raise a total of $30 million. The project funds NGPs such as Ocean Conservancy and The Ocean Cleanup which have been removing trash and garbage from the beaches and oceans for a long time.
