The world is changing with a rapid speed. The glaciers are melting, climate is changing, the world is warming up and this is causing a lot of destruction to the environment. This sounds pretty dangerous. But the problem can be solved with only doing one thing: surfing the internet.
Yes! You read it right! Well, there's this search engine called as Ecosia. It donates 80% of its profits to nonprofit organizations that focus on reforestation. Well in other words, it uses its revenue to plant trees all around the world. Basically when you search the web with Ecosia search engine, it generates revenue from the ads that it shows. Ecosia uses this income to plant trees.
Ecosia has so far planted over 100 million trees. And it plants those all over the world including India. About a 45 searches you make, a tree gets planted.
Started in 2009, Ecosia currently has one or more projects in the following countries: Peru, Nicaragua, Colombia, Haiti, Brazil, Morocco, Spain, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Madagascar, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Indonesia, India, Ivory Coast, United Kingdom, Canada, Rwanda, Bolivia, United States, Australia, Malawi. By July 2020, Ecosia had surpassed 100 million trees planted in total, resulting in over 50,000 metric tonnes of CO2 being removed from the atmosphere each month. It was reported in the same month that Ecosia, on average, was able to fund a tree every 0.8 seconds – averaging 75 per minute or 108,000 per day – with the revenue it makes from advertising.
It's financial reports are a proof that it donates 10 to 20 crore rupees a month to find reforestation. This in return reduces tonnes of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and reduces global warming.
And don't worry. Ecosia is 100% legit and safe to use. Although not the most convenient, it's use interface is similar to that of Chrome. And we can degrade a bit for the goodness of our environment and for a better future. So download it now from its official website and help to save our world.
Posts before October 2021 have been marked as "Old Posts". Less likely, but they might have out dated or incorrect information, ugly looking bits of code, no labels, etc. Don't get me wrong, many of these posts are top-notch and interesting too.
I thought it would be better not to delete or revamp these posts, even if they suck. The bitter truth is that old works always suck, but I take that as a positive tool to convey that I am growing. Besides there's no better way to showcase my journey without these old, messy, poorly written posts!
