As for what planet? well this one because that is where I live. $100 bucks because that is what I charge. The good news is it will be soaking up CO2 for your entire lifetime.
I think I'll save my money and find another reputable company that doesn't try and rip you off. Or better yet do it myself.

How do you know ANY sustainable/green/planet saving action happens???

Why do you value money more than a tree?

I value common sense. Spending 100 dollars for someone to plant a tree who doesn't have any background in this supposed business is not common sense. How do I know any of it happens? Well for one you see it if you can look. Two, companies that have been doing it for a while and have a reputation don't have a reputation just for the hell of it, they have that reputation because they produce results that people can track.

Ooooh Congratulations. Because it is so difficult to plant a tree you convinced me to send you 100 dollars to do it. Oh wait *thinks for a second* can't you just put a tree in the ground cover it with earth and let it grow? Shoot I think I can handle that
