Ecosia is a search engine that aggregates search results from multiple other search engines. The ad revenue from our searches funds the planting of trees worldwide. With over 200 million trees planted so far, Ecosia have learned to be fully transparent about their projects, and financials which are available right on that website. Set it as your default search engine, and start planting trees. They also recently released a Chromium based browser if that's your thing - TechCrunch article for reference.

Hi everyone, this is not a picture of lovely greenery but is a way to get more green into the world. Some of you may already be aware of this, but many people I know are not.

The search engine Ecosia plants real trees using their ad revenue. The German company posts their revenue every year and has always used at least 80% to reforest places around the world that had been deforested or devastated by natural disasters like wildfires. I think it’s pretty neat to contribute to one of the few organizations trying to do something positive.

The actual search engine uses Bing, which has been carbon neutral for a few years, and pretty much gives the same results as Google or DuckDuckGo.

Obviously that means it collects data and sells it. For me, I don’t really care if someone knows my general searches like “who is the oldest living person.”

I don’t represent the organization and don’t get anything for people knowing about it. I just think it’s cool and want to share. Thanks for listening… err reading.
