Trees contribute to healthy communities 🤝
Trees provide several health benefits from simply existing! 🤗 For one, they clean up air from pollution, sucking in CO2 and breathing out oxygen! They also diversify people's diets with fruit and nuts. 🌰🍎 Plus, they lower the temperature in hot climates! Areas with trees and vegetation are far cooler than areas without them. This is why summers in cities are so much hotter than in suburban and rural areas! 🥵
Create jobs 💼
Someone needs to plant and maintain trees! By funding tree planting efforts, you not only give trees life, but you also give people opportunities to make a living. Whether that's the people that run local organizations, farmers, or planters, funding trees means funding the people that help them grow. 🌱
Give the chance to learn 📝
Because trees create jobs, the people planting them gain the means to send their children to school and pay for their supplies. 📚 Additionally, when planting trees with Treecard and Ecosia, you also support organizations who teach environmentalism in schools. This kind of environmental education is crucial so that those students grow up to look after the land around them.
Develop skills 🚜
Because our partners are focused on sustainable tree-planting techniques, tree planters learn regenerative methods to help the trees, themselves, and the planet. Techniques such as agroforestry, where crops and trees grow together, create healthier plants, soil, and people.
