If you’d like to help the Earth
...you can make your first step with Ecosia.
“Ecosia is an Internet search engine based in Berlin, Germany, that plants trees by donating 80% or more of its surplus income to non-profit organizations that focus on reforestation and conservationism. Ecosia considers itself a social business, is CO2-negative, claims to support full financial transparency, protects the privacy of its users and is certified by B-Lab as a benefit corporation.
The website maintains a running total of the number of trees planted. As of 8 May 2019, the search engine has been responsible for the planting of more than 56.6 million trees.” - Wikipedia
(It’s more than 57 million actually, as you can see.)
I use Ecosia too, you can see my tree counter in the top-right corner!
You can use it instead of your Google search engine - it’s available on Google Play, you can download it from the internet easily.
//It is really fun, but I want to be honest with you, there are a few disadvantages of this search engine:
- can’t search by pictures
- can’t really use symbols to make your search more precise.
But if you look at the advantages (protecting privacy, PLANTING TREES!), these problems can be ignored (at least in my opinion, that’s why I use it too).//
I really hope you’ll like Ecosia just as much as I do, once you start to use it!
Please reblog so everyone can see this!
(Also if you have anything useful to add: feel free to add it!!)
