Mighty oaks from little acorns - or in the case of 26-year-old Kyle MacDonald from Belcarra, British Columbia - mighty dreams from little paperclips grow.
In July last year, MacDonald, who describes himself as having "planted more than 100,000 trees" and "delivered more than one thousand pizzas", offered up a single red paperclip for barter on his blog.
His idea, based on a childhood game called "bigger and better", is ingeniously simple. For the paperclip he was offered a pen, for the pen a doorknob and for the doorknob a barbecue stove.
