One of the best initiatives for the planet
Although today there are still people who deny climate change and who say that humans can do little to turn it around, both positions are not very accurate. Even more if we take into account scientific studies and recent events.
And, if we humans can contribute to improving the environment and avoiding, even minimally, its destruction in our day to day by recycling and with small actions, now we can also do it with the app Ecosia .
Initiatives like Ecosia's are what the planet needs
This app is one of the best initiatives we've seen lately. The application is a browser and search engine that, for each search we carry out, will plant trees on our planet. Something quite necessary in the last days.
The number of trees planted and the search engine
Although it may seem strange, its operation is very simple. We do searches and the creators of the app plant trees. How do they do it? Instead of using the profit they get from showing us ads when we search for profit, they use it to plant the trees.
In the application we can see the projects that are being carried out from the Projects section and learn everything about them. So we can know what kind of projects we are "collaborando". In addition, the creators of the app assure us that it protects privacy.
Some of Ecosia's projects
They claim that they are not interested in our data at all, only in the trees and that, therefore, they do not save our searches, do not track the websites we visit and do not sell our data to advertisers. This initiative may raise doubts and rightly so.
But Ecosia publishes monthly financial reports on its website. It also publishes reports and receipts from the tree planting, in addition to having signed a legal contract that obliges them to continue being a charitable cause forever.
If you are aware of the environment, especially now with the Amazon fires, you can't hesitate for a second to download this app .
