Ecosia - Search engine that plants trees

Do you use Google as your default search engine?

We hope this article can convince you to switch to Ecosia as your default search engine on at least one frequently used device! ;)

Why is Ecosia AWESOME?

1. 80% or more of their total profits are solely directed towards tree planting

2. About 45 searches = 1 tree. You can see your total searches as your personal counter

3. They don't sell, store or track your data so high privacy

4. All Ecosia searches are powered by 100% renewable energy - all their servers run on solar energy

5. First company to not just be carbon neutral but carbon positive!!! Their solar panels produce twice the energy they consume

So to sum it all, when you use Ecosia to do a web search (powered by Microsoft's Bing), you not only do it on solar energy with no CO2 emissions, but you also contribute towards crucial tree-planting projects all over the world that will further sequester CO2 from the atmosphere! How cool is that? :D
