Our video from last summer is making the rounds again 🌳 And we get why — heatwave season is just around the corner. As far as solutions go, urban trees are pretty impressive: they can cool their surroundings by up to 12°C. If you go outside during a heatwave, you'll notice a big difference in temperature between streets lined with trees and bare concrete pavements exposed to the sun. That's because trees provide shade and bring moisture back into the air, cooling the surrounding areas. And that’s exactly why we're planting urban trees, from LA to London: https://lnkd.in/du9_KZqp #urbantrees #trees #heatwave

🌳 Calling All Tree-Planting Businesses! 🌳 Ecosia is the company that has planted the most trees for reforestation worldwide. We invite your company to plant and protect trees together through our circular funding strategy: Ecosia finances businesses that plant and protect trees with their business model through loans and/or equity. Because Ecosia will never distribute dividends, all the money that flows back into Ecosia will be redeployed into other tree-planting companies, creating a circular fund. If your business has a vision for a greener future that aligns with our mission to fight the climate crisis, we want to hear from you! This is a fantastic opportunity to secure funding to help your business and significantly contribute to reforestation efforts worldwide, making a tangible difference to planetary health. 🌱 It's easy to apply: submit your application outlining your project and its environmental impact via this form (https://lnkd.in/dhrM8wbk). Let's work together to create a better future. Apply now and be part of the change! #Ecosia #TreePlanting #CircularFunding #FundingOpportunity #EcoFriendlyBusiness #ClimateAction

Looks like Shell decided not to follow through with another promise. No surprises here — "quietly backing away" seems to be a key page in Big Oil's playbook. https://lnkd.in/dcDvFxD4

Going to prison for planning a peaceful climate protest? It just happened in the UK. Five Just Stop Oil activists were sentenced to 4 to 5 years in prison each for planning to disrupt the M25 highway. These are some of the harshest sentences ever given for peaceful protest in the UK. Meanwhile, none of the people who are actually responsible for the climate crisis are going to jail! This is unacceptable. We urge for the UK's Policing Bill to be scrapped in order to protect people's fundamental right to peaceful protest. https://lnkd.in/dpvXCp-R #juststopoil #climateactivism

Cities are warming 29% faster than rural areas. Can you guess why? 🤔 We're not even halfway through summer, but already temperature records are being broken all over the world. And cities are taking most of the heat. That's because they're the perfect environment for a heatwave 🌆 Starting with... a lack of trees and plants. All the concrete and buildings you'll find in place of them, plus all the machines and vehicles either soak up or generate heat, leading to what is called the Urban Heat Island Effect. If we want to survive in a rapidly warming world, we need to green our cities. Urban trees can literally save lives — increasing tree cover by up to 30% could prevent one-third of premature deaths linked to heatwaves 🌳 Do you think your city needs greening?
