Thousands of people teamed up this weekend to break a world record while doing something good for the earth. They planted 647,250 trees in a single day Saturday.

More than 44,000 people in Ecuador planted the trees at 150 sites across the country, snatching the Guinness World Record from a group in the Philippines, who broke the world record last year.

This was the most diverse single-day tree planting program anywhere in the world, with more than 200 species of trees planted to soak up carbon dioxide and pump out oxygen.

Ecuador holds another environmentally friendly record — the most plastic bottles recycled in a single week, 87,363 pounds.
