- [Ant Forest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_Forest) - Ant Forest is a scheme launched on Alipay mobile client by Ant Financial Services Group. Combining the Internet, finance and a low-carbon lifestyle, it is a personal carbon account as well as public benefit activity: if users walk, travel by public transport, pay utility fees online, pay traffic tickets online and generate other low-carbon activities, they would reduce corresponding carbon emissions. These would be counted and converted into virtual "green energy" and users could use these energy to raise a virtual tree in their Ant Forest account. When enough energy has been earned to grow a virtual tree, it would be converted into a real tree and planted in some real areas in China by people supported by Ant Financial Services Group and its partners. By August 27, 2019,122 million trees were planted in China by Alipay ant forest.
