Summary: <p>Ecosia is a search engine that plants trees. They use over 80 percent of their profits to fund reforestation work all over the world using money made from ad revenue. Their goal - plant 1 billion trees by 2020. The company now plants trees in Burkina Faso, Indonesia (Borneo), Madagascar, Nicaragua, Peru, and Tanzania.</p> <p>Ecosia wants to create a world where the environment no longer needs protecting, and with averaging 1 million trees every few weeks. Jacey Bingler is Ecosia's Head of Communications. She tells us about her former jobs working in advertising and how she happily transitioned to a job at Ecosia, working to spread the message of tree planting and helping to reverse climate change.</p> <p>--</p> <p>Resources mentioned in this show:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.naomiklein.org/main" rel="nofollow">Naomi Klein</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.janegoodall.org/" rel="nofollow">Jane Goodall</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.elizabethkolbert.com/" rel="nofollow">Elizabeth Kolbert</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.tomorrow-documentary.com/" rel="nofollow">Tomorrow</a></li> </ul> <p>--</p> <p>If there’s an eco-warrior you think has a story that would inspire others, email me at <a href="mailto:Barbara@trashybeauty.com" rel="nofollow">Barbara@trashybeauty.com</a>.</p> <p>We highly encourage you to try out <a href="http://www.ecosia.org" rel="nofollow">Ecosia</a>, the search engine that plants trees.
