EcoMatcher is proud to announce the EcoMatcher app for Microsoft Teams, bringing the benefits of tree-planting directly into Microsoft Teams. Teams users can now plant trees, track them through satellite mapping, view pictures of the trees and farmers looking after them, and even chat with their chatbot-powered trees and listen to 'Forest Sounds', to improve their overall well-being, all without leaving Teams.

The integration helps Teams users contribute to reforesting the planet where it is most needed, while providing a moment to relax in nature virtually.

"We have seen a significant increase in companies looking to leverage technologies that support climate action and promote employee well-being. The EcoMatcher app for Microsoft Teams does exactly that, allowing employees to plant and track trees while taking a moment to recharge before their next work challenge", said Bas Fransen, CEO, and Founder of EcoMatcher. "We thank Microsoft for supporting EcoMatcher to become part of the Microsoft Teams platform and making EcoMatcher a partner in sustainability."

Talking about the collaboration with EcoMatcher, Chief Sustainability Officer for Microsoft Middle East and Africa, Sherif Tawfik commented: "EcoMatcher allows any person or organization to plant a tree at the touch of a button. By integrating the app within Microsoft Teams and making it accessible to over a quarter of a billion people that use the platform, we're empowering more individuals to become actively involved in tree planting. Ultimately, it's collaborations like these that are needed to shift the momentum, to build a more sustainable future for all."

Finland's foresters decry 'unfair' EU climate plans
Askola, Finland (AFP) Nov 11, 2022
Standing next to a freshly-cut clearing the size of seven football fields, Finnish forest engineer Matti Jappila pointed to growth rings in an up to 300-year-old tree stump.

Like many other Finns, Jappila fears that the EU's upcoming biodiversity strategy, which aims to protect 30 percent of the EU's land area, will make his forestry livelihood "completely unprofitable". The loud noise of a clearing saw ... read more
