Ecosia

Ecosia is a search engine that uses its revenue to plant trees and support reforestation projects around the world. Founded in 2009 by Christian Kroll, Ecosia is committed to environmental sustainability and aims to combat climate change by planting trees in biodiversity hotspots and areas affected by deforestation. The company allocates a significant portion of its advertising income to tree planting initiatives, with transparency reports and tree planting receipts published monthly to maintain accountability.

Ecosia's search engine is powered by Bing and enhanced with its own algorithms, providing users with a familiar and efficient search experience. As users search the web, ad revenue generated from their queries is directed towards Ecosia's tree-planting projects. On average, about 45 searches are needed to fund the planting of one tree. The company prides itself on its ethical business model, boasting that all its servers run on renewable energy and that it is a certified B Corporation, meeting rigorous social and environmental performance standards.

The impact of Ecosia's efforts is tangible, with millions of trees planted in over 30 countries, including Brazil, Burkina Faso, and Indonesia. These reforestation efforts not only help absorb CO2 and combat climate change but also provide habitat for endangered species and support local communities through job creation and improved agricultural productivity. By choosing Ecosia as their search engine, users contribute to meaningful environmental change with every search.
