"It is a proud moment for us today as our tree counter ticks towards
200,000,000.
That’s 200 million trees the Ecosia community has helped put into the ground;
trees that are monitored, and thriving. Trees that capture thousands of tons of
CO2 every day, saving endangered animals, restoring ecosystems, and uplifting
communities around the world.
The formative years of Ecosia saw us becoming Germany’s first certified B Corp
in 2014, visiting our first tree planting project in Burkina Faso in 2016 and
celebrating the first 10 million trees being planted in April of 2017.
The big turning point came in 2018 when I signed a legally binding commitment
to ensure that Ecosia could never be sold and that 100% of our profits would
always go to the planet. Today, your searches enable us to work with partners
to plant and protect 1,250 species of trees across 95,000 locations globally.
We’re also doing work beyond planting trees. Since 2020, our solar plants
produce enough renewable energy to power all Ecosia searches twice over. We’ve
also set up an incubator for regenerative agriculture, invested into climate
tech solutions, and recognizing the need for holistic change, diversified our
search providers last year to provide you with an improved search experience.
With every search and every share, you have allowed us to do so much good for
the planet, and we have no plans to stop here. If everyone reading this shared
Ecosia with a friend, we could reach 300 million in no time.
So thank you, Ecosia community. Here's to 200 million trees, and counting.
Christian Kroll CEO, Ecosia"
