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

Three years in, they’re planting 600 trees a month 🌳🎉 In August 2021, the German insurance company Provinzial Konzern decided to make Ecosia the default search engine on all its employees’ work devices. Today, their employees contribute to around 600 new trees per month thanks to their searches. We are proud to be working with them and of the climate impact we’re having together 💚 “Ecosia makes sustainability an everyday part of working life for all our employees”, says Astrid Bayer, Head of Sustainability at Provinzial. The team especially loves the transparency and easy access to data — they can track and measure their impact in detail. That’s thanks to our monthly Tree Report, which lets large organizations see the estimated number of trees they’ve helped fund! 🌱 📊 👉 How many trees do you think your company could plant?

Loving this forest transformation 😍 Look at all those mangroves planted by the Ecosia community! These trees are so special 🌳 They prevent the soil from washing into the sea, are home to many species, protect communities from extreme weather events, and sequester huge amounts of carbon. In this project in Madagascar, we planted 890,000 native trees with Eden Reforestation Projects. #mangroves #reforestation #rewilding

Being transparent means sharing both our wins and our challenges with you. This is why we wanted to let you know that our partner Trees for Humanity is closing its operations. This means our projects with them in Uganda and Kenya will come to an end. You might be wondering: what will happen to the trees? We're committed to ensuring the 1.2 million trees we've planted and the people involved in this project continue to thrive 🌳 Here's our plan:

We love seeing our team get the awards they deserve 🤩🏆 One of our talented software engineers, Jessica Greene, has just received the Python Software Foundation community award! We’re so proud to have you on our team 💚 Congrats, Jessica!
Senior Machine Learning Engineer @ Ecosia | Community lead @ PyLadies | Board member @ PySV | ** Machine Learning, AI solutions, Inclusive & Ethical Digital Services **
I'm excited to announce I've been awarded the Python Software Foundation community award 🏆✨️ This recognition along with the Outstanding PyLadies Award which I was awarded at PyCon earlier this year, mean a lot to me as community has been central to my journey in tech. Of course this has not been a journey taken alone and there are many folks whose time, work and support have led to me being awarded this honour, for whom I am grateful. It comes at a bitter sweet time for me as I lost my Grandmother this weekend. This would have be something I would have shared with her and a value we both care about, her community was also important to her. While I missed being able to share this particular success with her, I was lucky to share many with her already and know she is at peace. Ensuring spaces like the PSF are inclusive and safe spaces for everyone but especially minorities and those marginalized in our society is a continuous intentional and group effort. I applaud all those who give their time and energy to this ❤️ Thank you to those who recognise and value my work, and to all those who have made it possible for me to contribute authentically. https://lnkd.in/e7-cTEFg

Can we get some love for these chimpanzees? 💚 They were spotted in one of our reforestation sites in Uganda, where we plant trees with the Jane Goodall Institute Austria. These trees connect forest patches so chimps can move freely between them, whether searching for food or mates. Also, say hello to Dia Tio! He is a forest monitor at Jane Goodall Institute in Uganda and keeps an eye on many of your trees here 👋 📷: © Kennedy Kitandwe, JGI #chimpanzees #reforestation
