The Green Belt Movement *has* planted 50 million trees, so far...
Wangari Maathai, the Kenyan environmental activist and Nobel laureate, is estimated to have planted around 30 million trees over her lifetime. She founded the Green Belt Movement in 1977, which focused on empowering women in rural communities to plant trees and conserve the environment. Her tree-planting efforts have had a significant impact on Kenya's landscapes and communities.
Wangari Maathai has chalked up many firsts in her 70 years. There was the time she became the first Kenyan woman to earn a doctorate; the time she planted her first tree nursery, and the time she became the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize. There was also the first time she was beaten up; the first time she was jailed; the first time she was disqualified from running for political office, and the first time her environmental work was dismissed as that of a "mad divorcee". These tribulations might be behind her now, and organisations around the world might be lauding her work promoting the greening of Africa, but Maathai is not one to rest on her laurels. She is still busy lobbying politicians across the continent to pay more than lip service to environmental causes, and is establishing an institute at the University of Nairobi to propagate the community development ideas that have earned her international acclaim.
Many fruit trees are grafted into other trees with seedless varieties.
There is nothing wrong with your shrub, its a characteristic of the plant. There are many trees/shrubs that do this.
Ghana grows so many bananas, the country could become a banana republic. (by the way - bananas are not trees, they are a large herbaceous plant and the upright stem is called a psudostem)
The plant life in the savanna is comprised mostly of grass and low lying shrubs, with a few trees providing some shade to the animal population. The vast amount of dried leaves and grass in the savanna makes fires a common occurrence.

No, she wasn't. Many women from ancient African cultures were given high levels of education. Like, for example: The Egyptian Queen, Cleopatra had a lifetime's worth of education. She learned at least 7 different languages growing up.

Because I love trees and the world needs more trees.
You would need to plant a lot of trees. Make sure you water them when planted. There is no limit to how many trees you can plant!
