Ecosia

If you want to join the fight against climate change and worldwide deforestation, now you can do so while you browse the internet on your device thanks to Ecosia. You can set this app as the default search engine on your phone and help in this great cause without doing anything out of the ordinary.

The way Ecosia works is a lot like using Google or Yahoo for searching. The main difference is that Ecosia uses part of the money it earns from users' browsing to plant trees in different parts of the globe.

Ecosia's website provides tons of information about this initiative in order to be certain of the transparency of the project. For example, you can see how long until they plant the next tree and the total number of trees planted so far. It also includes financial reports every six weeks that include the receipts for all the trees planted.

Ecosia is a great alternative to other search engines. Unlike other companies that offer similar services, this one allocates part of the proceeds to a great cause. Thanks to this eco-friendly app, you can make a difference in the world simply by browsing like you normally would be doing anyways.
