GOOD NEWS! You can plant trees while searching the web

in #goodnews7 years ago
Ecosia was launched in 2009 and is a search engine which donates 80% of it´s surplus income to nonprofti organizations with focus on tree planting. Since October 2014 the organization of their choice is WeForest, which has tree planting projects in India, Brasil, Ethiopia, Tansania, and more!

In June 2017 they planted their 10th millionth tree! What a huge success!
We at the @gnc know that it can be hard to change habbits, and whichever search engine you are using right now, we encourage you to give Ecosia a try. It´s super fast AND it plants trees!

leads you to their website where you can see their tree count and choose to install a plugin for your browser. This is probably the best way to not fall back into old habbits and search engines.
Of course like all the other search engines Ecosia mainly earns money from users clicking on a sponsored link. This happens in 2% of all the search queries from which every click gives an estimate of 6,5 Euro-Cents. You can convert that to 1 tree every 7 seconds or even less as you can see if you watch their tree count going up.

They surely did a great job with their search engine,
and we encourage you once more to give it a try!
