SUPERCHARGE YOUR ‘ANT FOREST’ GAME – RECONNECT WITH FRIENDS BACK HOME AND HELP US PLANT A FOREST
Updated: Mar 12, 2020
To my fellow expats and friends here in China.
I’m guessing there’s very few of us still hanging at Wuhan, at the true front lines, but from a world perspective – to the mothers and fathers, brothers, sisters, friends and broader social networks back home worrying about us, we are on the front lines.
Our situation is unique. We live here, we work here, and we each have our networks here. We are connected to this place and it’s people, but at the same time, we have all those networks back home too – all those old friends and family we know and love. This unique position, at this particular point in history, gives us an opportunity.
Today I want to share with you an idea. There’s a way that we, together with everyone back home, can help - help the coronavirus sufferers, help Wuhan, help China and help the world. The best part is: all you need is your phone, and your people.
The idea:
In our account of Wechat, we introduced Alipay’s in-app mini-program: ‘Ant Forest’(蚂蚁森林). We explained how to find and use Ant Forest applet game to turn everyday green lifestyle choices into a virtual tree, into a real tree, to grow forests and help turn baron land into thriving, green ecosystems- creating jobs and re moving carbon from our skies. Both Alipay and Ant Forest are accessible internationally, so everyone can play.
Are you playing? Because we are, and we’re about to up our game.
Trendy Adventurer’s goals
For China:
Through playing Ant Forest, get Alipay to plant as many trees as they can throughout China to create local jobs bring the desert to life.
For Wuhan:
Help grow a forest in Wuhan! Get overseas friends to pour their spare carbon energy into the Wuhan public benefit forests, which we can visit! (later, after things settle down, of course)
