The search engine that plants trees!
Ecosia is a search engine that donates 80% of its income to a tree planting program in Brazil. By searching with Ecosia you can help the environment for free!
“By making Ecosia your search engine you can actually help the environment one search at a time.” The Guardian
In August 2013, we launched a new version of Ecosia. The biggest changes are the redesign to Ecosia's interface, and the partnership with The Nature Conservancy's "Plant A Billion Trees" program.
Ecosia is an ecologically inspired search website (Global Alexa Rank 10,916, ranking 606 in Germany, as of September 26, 2013 [1]). Ecosia GmbH, based in Berlin has 10 employees (as of 2010 [2] [3] ) and describes itself as a social business.
