Chinese proverb: When is it the best time to plant a tree? 20 years ago. Second best time, today!
This is also true with Ecosia. If you would have used the search engine for a couple of years, you would have helped plant thousands of trees.
Too bad we didn’t, so let’s start today.
There is no better day to start.
Ecosia has planted more than 100 million trees. That’s a big milestone, showing how great sustainable tech can help the world with the help of people.
Ecosia uses 80% of their ads revenue to plant trees. We as users can simply go to Ecosia.org instead of Google.com or Bing.com to perform our searches. That’s all we need to do to have an impact. No signup, nothing.
If you’d like to take it a step further, you can:
