“Alexa, grow a tree!” That is what US residents with an Alexa smart speaker will now be able to ask of their voice assistant. They will then be able to track the number of trees planted in real time from their Amazon Pay account. But what impact can this new feature really have?

Of all the environmentally friendly actions that can be carried out in a few clicks from the comfort of your couch, planting trees is without a doubt one of the most widespread. Each search query entered into the German search engine Ecosia or the French browser extension Refoorest, for example, promises that a tree will be planted.
