Ecosia Keynote: Powering the regeneration: A climate-active campus

Fred Henderson, a project coordinator at Ecosia will discuss the search engine’s unique business model and show the benefits that trees bring to both people and the planet.

Through the Ecosia on Campus movement, universities and educational institutions are mobilizing to plant trees, all thanks to student-led campaigns . Learn how you too can encourage your campus to make a positive environmental change and help plant tens of thousands of trees by using Ecosia.

Visit Ecosia on Campus to find out how you too can get involved at your university.

Fred Henderson is a Project Coordinator at Ecosia, working in the company's country development team. Fred has been at Ecosia for two and a half years, supporting a range of projects from helping organisations to set Ecosia as the default for employees, to managing Ecosia's student outreach initiative Ecosia on Campus. In 2018, while Fred was at the University of Sussex studying for a degree in Anthropology, he launched a campaign to make Ecosia the default across the campuses computers and successfully persuaded senior management to make the switch to Ecosia. Fred then helped other students around the world to do the same and there as now over 300 Ecosia on Campus campaigns globally. Fred is happy to answer any questions you have about Ecosia, it's tree-planting projects and how you too can launch a Ecosia on Campus campaign at your university.  - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H96UIVs_l6k.
