Search the web and plant trees
This Earth Day the theme is "Invest in out Planet" with a focus on encouraging individuals, businesses to invest and switch to greener technologies and practices.
A small part you can play this Earth Day is by switching your search engine to Ecosia.org
What is it?
Ecosia is a search engine that uses a portion of its profits towards planting trees around the world, and the eco-friendly option has now become one of Google Chrome’s default search engines. This places Ecosia among the likes of Bing, Google, and DuckDuckGo, as one of many search engine choices presented to users.
Based in Berlin, Germany. It donates 80% of its profits to nonprofit organisations that focus on reforestation. It considers itself a social business, is CO2-negative and claims to support full financial transparency and protect the privacy of its users.
Ecosia is B Lab-certified, meeting its standards of accountability, sustainability, and performance. As of December 2021, the company claims to have planted more than 140 million trees since its inception.
"According to their website, every search with Ecosia actually removes about 1kg of CO2 from the atmosphere."
At CCS IT Solutions we are proud supporters of using Ecosia and since we have made the change we have planted over 95 trees!
Installing Ecosia as your search engine is an easy step towards a better, more ethical internet. It takes less than 60 seconds, but it makes a huge difference to your privacy, and the planet.
