Antoine Moses, 23, from Quebec, Canada, has a new record to be proud of. He recently broke the Guinness World Record for planting trees in 24 hours. He planted 23,060 saplings at an average pace of 16 trees per minute - one every 3.75 seconds.
He was not alone though. A team of six people helped him plant the trees in a deforested area about 100 kilometers south of High Level, Alberta, Canada.
“As soon as I broke that original record, I was happy and hugging the whole crew around me. I was excited and happy, but not even 10 seconds after I just kept going,” he commented.
In the last seven years, Antoine has planted more than 1.3 million trees. He is excited to see someone break his record and even offers help.
“I love the thrill of helping people. If someone wants to beat it, I help them, I give them my tips. I am not afraid,” he added.
