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 hopes to transform 45 million acres into a trillion over the next 40 years.
Hart Pearson “Sebastian” Cunningham was brought up by artists who wanted a life that was good for Mother Earth. Hart’s quest to plant a trillion trees began at age 3 in Dominica with local vegetation. He began his love for trees at the age of five, while he was still living in Nova Scotia. Hart, who was 16 years old, had already planted 740 trees. He joined the Buckley High School Class of ’93-’95 (152 students total over three years), to plant trees 14 weeks a week in California.
Hart was a three-term student at The Michael G. Foster School of Business, University of Washington. He wrote his thesis “Economics Related To Humanity and Environment” at 21. This was where he continued his passion for the environment and his love of nature. He returned to California to finish his Master’s in Economics from Claremont Graduate University. At 22 years old, he was the youngest person to accomplish this feat.
Hart’s tree planting abilities increased with his financial resources. He was the only Ernst and Young three time ‘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 at 38 from software architecture. 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 also spends his time empowering music lovers globally, as musician Ryderman. His music can be found on Spotify and Apple Music. Spotify has streamed his song “Stay” more than 1 million times.
