Ecosia transforms your searches into new trees

I am convinced that the title of this article will have been somewhat strange to you, it seemed to me only a few days ago when, by pure chance, I discovered Ecosia, a search engine that dedicates the benefits obtained to improving the planet and life of people.

Ecosia wants to "build a greener and better world for everyone"

There is no doubt that Ecosia's goal is ambitious, but not impossible, and it relies on the help of users. Faced with the desire for enrichment that other search engines give off, such as Google or Bing, from Ecosia they point out that " 100% of the profits obtained from searches go to finance reforestation programs and empowerment of communities around the world. " As a goal, the company has set out to plant a whopping one billion trees by 2020.

In addition, they ensure that 100% of the energy of our searches comes from renewable energy, since it has its own solar plant. Thus, they affirm, "with each search around 1kg of CO2 is removed from the atmosphere."

In addition to the above, Ecosia also takes care of our privacy since "we do not save your searches", "we do not sell your data to advertisers", "we track the web pages you visit" and "we always encrypt your searches with the SSL security protocol"

If you want to use the Ecosia search engine, you only have to visit its website. From there you can also download the version for your smartphone or tablet for free.

I will not be the one to question the good will of Ecosia or the data provided, but despite the doubts it may generate, the truth is that it does not cost us anything to use this new search engine and thus contribute to a slightly better world.
