Donate to nonprofits that are dedicated to planting trees and conserving nature

Money can really help to have a social impact. If you find that you’re not making a large enough impact by simply using Ecosia, you can also donate to nonprofits to help plant trees. Two great nonprofits you could consider are:

  • The Nature Conservancy (Check out PlantaBillion.org and help The Nature Conservancy plant one billion trees by 2025. Currently, more than 81.000.000 trees have been planted).
  • Also, check out One Tree Planted. They’re having a great impact by getting businesses involved to sponsor and help plant trees. One dollar will plant one tree. Check out their video, below.
