Success stories
Shana - Heriot Watt
“Since the launch of Ecosia, the feedback has been really positive. Students and staff are now engaging with climate activism by searching with Ecosia. In the last month, we collectively planted over 500 trees and everyone loves seeing that tree counter on their screen!”
