VIDEO:  A Johnny Appleseed for the new millennium
 
 
In 2006 college students Grant Gardner and Matt Cortina started "Planting America", a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging young people to become environmentally friendly by planting trees. This summer they set out on a 101-day bike tour across the country with a goal of planting one-million trees along the way.
