The answer to the question in this headline is "no, but it's not that simple".
If you plant acres of the same kinds of trees - monocropping - with no thought about the natural ecology of the area where you're planting, you're not doing much good, and you're harming the local environment.
If you do even a tiny bit of research about the area where you're planting, you can do a small amount of good. Planting trees, even in the best way, is not going to solve the climate crisis, but it can contribute a little bit to addressing the problem.
This is an example of the media taking a slightly complicated issue and dumbing it down to the point of meaninglessness, then getting some famous fool to make a statement. Bill Gates is quoted here saying "I don't plant trees". Apparently, he isn't interested in spending 15 seconds thinking about whether or not reforestation is or can be beneficial. The problem with this is that Gates has an enormous amount of power. His inability, or refusal, to give any thought at all to the matter will have consequences.
Billionaires are not necessarily smart. The fact that somebody got rich on technology doesn't mean they know fuckall about the environment. The fact that Gates is dishing out this kind of thoughtless drivel is proof that he shouldn't be able to drive change. Tax this moron and fund programs that are run by people who are capable of understanding the issue.
And then Gates can get the fuck out of the way - move to a Margaritaville resort, listen to the White Album and smoke doobies with the rest of the rich Boomers. Or whatever.

There is one joke in 'I Think You Should Leave,' which is:
PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS FROM ME, I HAVE ALREADY LOST SO MUCH AND THIS ALL I HAVE LEFT.
The punchline is either 'But they lose that thing anyway', or 'They keep that thing, but it's so miniscule and weird that you feel sorry for them for not letting it go.'
Amazing show. Truly the voice of a generation. It will be celebrated and satisfied for the next two hundred years.

I just learned the news that Charles Martinet is stepping away from his voice acting duties to become a Mario ambassador for Nintendo.
For about three decades, Martinet has been the voice for the most iconic video game character of all-time as well as Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi. Anyone who has played a Mario game knows about Mario's legendary catchphrases such as "let's-a go!", "yahoo!", and "it's Mario time!", just to name a few. The man has brought a lot of joy and became a recognizable voice to many generations. I mean, who hasn't tried to mimic Mario's high pitched voice and strong Italian accent; I can't speak for others, but I know I'm definitely guilty of it. 😅While it's sad to see he is no longer voicing our favorite plumber in red, he can know he is a legend who has left behind an indelible legacy in the video gaming community. At least it appears he is stopping on his own terms, or at least I hope that's the case.
I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. The new voice(s) of Mario and others have Bowser sized footsteps to follow, and I'm interested to see what's to come for Mario as far as voice acting in the games are concerned.

A teenage girl, frustrated and hurt by the cold indifference of her family wishes for escape. She enters into a fantasy world where no one and nothing can be trusted. The innocent are never safe, the beautiful turn out to be malicious and her friends are plotting against her. She is lied to, misdirected and constantly blocked by random obstacles. She is always in danger of being sexually exploited by a powerful older man, who tells her that it's all her fault. In the end, victorious at last, she returns to reality, which is so much fucking worse than anything she's been through so far. The final consolation is that she can always disassociate to escape.
What a perfect movie for children growing up in the '80s.
Well, not quite perfect. Sarah Williams, the main character, is 16, which is 4 or 5 years too old for the girl-coming-of-age plotline, and the whole thing is a bit too cutesy. Nevertheless, it is pretty accurate for a fantasy movie.
Some people get their panties in a bunch about the age difference between Sarah and the Goblin King, as if they were romantically involved. That's bullshit. The Goblin King is not Sarah's boyfriend. He's a predator. He doesn't want to marry her and live happily ever after - he wants to rape her.
I was pretty happy to watch Labyrinth with my kid a few years ago, when they were 8 or 9. They enjoyed the funny parts and were scared by the scary bits. They were satisfied by the ending. I, of course, was able to see shit that I hadn't seen before. It's dark, yes, but the best stories for children have always been dark. Go read Little Red Ridinghood - that's some dark shit. The Big Bad Wolf is Satan and you can bets your ass the threat of rape looms large in that story.
You want to talk about a late '80s fantasy movie that is problematic? Sit through The Princess Bride.
Twenty years after Labyrinth, Guillermo del Toro did Pan's Labyrinth, which is a much better version of the same story. Pan's Labyrinth stands alone, of course, but I think it benefits from familiarity with Labyrinth.
Addendum: I got some replies and Tumblr won't let me respond as Official Voice Of Generation X for some reason, so I'm doing it this way.
How the fuck you gonna tell me I'm reading too much into a metaphor? It's a fucking metaphor - reading shit into it is why it exists.
"16 is THE age for coming-of-age plot"? Really? Here's a couple other girl-coming-of-age stories for you - Little Red Riding Hood, Pan's Labyrinth. In both of those the girl is 10 or 11. The triggering event is the onset of menses, not getting a driver's license. All the other late '80s movies that portrayed teenagers - Heathers, The Breakfast Club, Pretty In Pink &c - showed them being sexually active, using drugs and dealing with serious issues like physical and emotional abuse, violence and mental illness. Labyrinth showed a 16yo girl playing with dolls. I was born a year after Molly Ringwald and a year before Jennifer Connelly. The Breakfast Club is a much more realistic portrayal of teens in the '80s than Labyrinth.
I'm pretty open about my trauma here, honey. I'm fuckin' Gen X - we're all fucked up.
Labyrinth and Pan's Labyrinth are both about girls who have infant brothers - representing their own maternal capabilities. In both, the girls have to face off against monsters to save their brothers. There are a lot of differences, but those two movies have a lot more incommon with each other than either does with Alice - which is also great.
The Goblin King wants Sarah to be his queen. He wants to have a marital relationship with her. He's an adult, she's a child. The actors were 39 and 16. In case any of this was unclear, the filmmakers made sure that the Goblin King's bulging crotch was prominently displayed in several scenes. Watch the ballroom scene - that's overtly sexual. Maybe you think a 39yo man coercing a 16yo girl into a marriage is fine, but I call that rape. And he clearly tells her it's her fault. The predatory older man is the standard villian in girl-coming-of-age stories because girls need to know what to look out for.
