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

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

Planting season is off to a busy start in Togo! Our partners APAF are on their way to planting over 2 million trees 🌱🤩 For now, they're still seedlings in a nursery. But when they've grown enough, these fertilizer and cocoa trees will be planted on farmland, in agroforestry systems. 🌳 Wait, wait, what is agroforestry and why is it better for the environment than conventional farming? We wrote a blog post about it: https://lnkd.in/dkAw6bR5 #agroforestry #togo #reforestation

Here’s how easy it is for a large organization to switch to Ecosia 👇 If you want to have a truly positive climate impact, why not make Ecosia the standard search engine at your workplace? The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust has already done it! All thanks to the staff-led initiative with a smooth, simple and free implementation. Still unsure how to convince your management or IT department? We support companies with more than 1,000 employees from start to finish and provide you with everything you need to know. For example: You don’t need to switch company-wide overnight. Together with your IT department, we can define a small pilot group, department or region to begin with. After a successful switch, our monthly tree report will show you how many trees your company has contributed to 🌳 Are you ready to increase your positive climate impact? Then simply contact us via https://lnkd.in/eF9kPVbj
