School children in Kenya are helping to fight deforestation by planting seeds using slingshots.

It's part of an initiative by the company SeedBalls Kenya, which makes and sells seedballs globally.

It encourages children to have slingshot competitions using the charcoal-covered seeds instead of stones.

About 2 million seedballs have been planted in Kenya in the past year and a half in what has been called "guerrilla gardening."
