There's a service called "e tree" where users can generate usage of Microsoft products in exchange for them planting trees in Kenya.
Or rather it was Kenya, I noticed today that it is now Mozambique.
So I googled the faq that I read only 2 weeks ago to sanity check. Last time I read it, it had instructions on how to generate e tree points in two products, Microsoft Weather and Microsoft Edge. However now it also mentions "Microsoft Wallet".
You can see this new FAQ here
support.microsoft.com
But in case it changes or gets taken down, I also archived it here
web.archive.org
Specifically under "How do I start earning points", it says
"Go to Microsoft Wallet by visiting edge://wallet."
However "edge://wallet" just goes to a blank page, I am in the newest version of Edge.
The old version of the faq is here, to compare between the two. Even the title in the url is different.
Other things to note is that despite the new faq being updated to mention "Mozambique" in "Where will these trees be planted", it still mentions Kenya in "How many points do I have to earn to plant a tree"
Edit: I found out while typing this, that the reason the "edge://wallet." link didn't work was because of the period at the end of the url. Removing that fixes this and loads a Wallet page, however, the rest of the instructions are not accurate and there doesn't seem to currently be any "e tree" support in the wallet.
tl;dr: There seems to be recently changed, incomplete documentation for a fringe microsoft service involving planting trees in exchange for clicks
