Planting a tree yourself is great! But to really make a difference to the planet and improve the living conditions of thousands of people, upscaling is needed. Ecosia is one such multiplier.
It’s very easy to get involved. Just open your web browser settings and change the default search engine from Google to Ecosia. From then on, every time you search the internet, you’ll be helping to plant new trees. It’s that simple. ✅
Many people have gotten into the habit of using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, etc. even for simple searches. However, because a search using AI consumes 10 times more energy than a search using a traditional search engine, it is still better to use a conventional search engine such as Ecosia for simple queries. This saves electricity and cooling water for data centres and produces less electronic waste.
By using Ecosia, you are already making an important contribution to the environment.
Ecosia uses 100% of its profits for the planet and produces enough renewable energy to power all searches twice over.
