Ecosia

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

You search the web, we plant trees 🌳 And in May, we financed almost 1 million of them, supporting tree-planting partners in 9 countries 🌱 See how we've spent our money since 2015: ecosia.co/money

Your Ecosia searches don't just help plant trees, they also create livelihoods for local communities 🌴 In Ghana, they support the work of partners like Tree Aid, who just shared some encouraging numbers with us! In 2023 alone... 🥭 345 people were employed in nurseries and nutrition gardens 🙋♀️ 1050 seasonal workers planted trees on community land — over 50% of which were women! 🌳 115 farmers planted agroforestry trees A big thank you to Tree Aid for their incredible reforestation work 💚 Learn more about our trees in Ghana: https://lnkd.in/dSvFCkrj

Now imagine the impact we could have if every business dedicated 100% of their profits to the planet 🌍

We're excited to announce we're stepping up our tree monitoring with Chloris Geospatial and Kanop 🌳 Read our Chief Tree Planting Officer's update 👇

Tree planting isn't just about putting saplings in the ground, it's about the trees surviving for decades to come 🌱🌿🌳 In India, our partners Symagine Solutions have achieved an impressive survival rate thanks to their holistic approach. For our latest video, we visited the project to explore what exactly makes it so successful:
