It's a known fact: Google is an essential part of our lives. But did you know there's another Google that let you plant trees at the same time?
The answer to that is Ecosia.
Ecosia works just like Google--except the website plants a tree for every item you enter into the search bar. Essentially, the revenue Ecosia gains from search ads are used to help plant trees in places that need them the most and to reforest mountains that have long been clear-cut for economic purposes.
To date, 10 million trees have been planted in areas like Madagascar, Indonesia, Peru, and Burkina Faso.
As tree lovers, Ecosia is a great initiative. Planting trees has never been so easy!

Happy tree planting (and web browsing)!
