Ecosia is a search engine that plants trees.
According to the official site, each search removes 1kg of CO2. It sets up a tangible goal that can be achieved by simply shifting from the mainstream search engines into the ‘eco-version’ one.
The total number of trees planted by Ecosia users is constantly updated on the home page, accompanied by monthly financial reports and tree-planting receipts to fulfill the promise of being ‘completely transparent’. It also higlights the CO2-positive and privacy-friendly features of searching, where servers run on renewable energy and the searches are not saved or tracked.
