ECOSIA.org is a new search engine with one huge difference, it’s a major defender of our planet that puts the people before profits.

Using the proceeds generated from customer searches and advert clicks, the social business founded by Christian Kroll in 2009, plants trees globally.

These trees are being used predominantly to combat the effects of global warming but also offer underprivileged communities’ new opportunities to develop their quality of life through farming, improved shelter and nutrition. Endangered animals, depleted soils and contaminated land have also been rejuvenated thanks to the money raised by the users of the beneficent browser.

Green Motion Respects Your Privacy, So Does ECOSIA!

The dedicated team at ECOSIA have fully established the non-profit search engine to rival the likes of Google and Bing as they offer the public a more ecological and private browsing experience.

ECOSIA doesn’t sell data to advertisers and anonymizes all searches within one week of the session, they also don’t use third party trackers so you’re protected on that front too!

Much Like Green Motion UK, They Are Carbon Neutral…

Unlike their famous rivals, another interesting consideration that the company has made is that all servers are run on 100% renewable energy. Methods such as wind and solar power are used to power their systems, resulting in every search removing up to 1Kg of Co2 from the atmosphere at a time. If this wasn’t enough of a reason to switch over to the miracle browser; the company publishes a monthly financial report so that their customers can see exactly where their profits are going. Green Motion and ECOSIA appear to share similar ideology; OPEN, HONEST AND TRANSPARENT.

See Exactly How Many Trees You Have Helped To Plant…

This incredibly simple, effective and ecological tool has allowed over 8 million users to raise upwards of 9.101,152 EUR, directed straight to the planting of forestry around the world.

The ECOSIA search page is visually very similar to any other browser but clearly shows you an up to date count of the trees planted by the company. As well as this, there is also a button that calculates how many trees you have personally planted through ECOSIA web searches. It is estimated that it takes around 45 searches on the new browser to generate the funds for a new tree so why not do as Green motion have and make it a competition amongst peers?

According to ECOSIA, it takes less than a second to plant a tree so abandon the browser that ignores the earth and download the ECOSIA app or Chrome extension now.
