ECOSIA is an innovative search engine like there are many but it has an advantage that practically no one offers, 80% of the proceeds and offers received by the company that created it are aimed at worldwide reforestation and thickening of particularly defaced or reforestation of desert areas. To date, over 100,000,000 trees have been planted thanks to ECOSIA.
Ecosia's collaboration with various online retailers allows users to donate through their online purchases. When searching for a product with Ecosia, EcoLinks are displayed next to participating affiliate resellers and, once activated, a percentage of the money spent on the product purchase (up to 5%) is automatically donated to Ecosia, which uses these earnings and advertising revenues to finance affiliated projects. The trees are planted with the aim of absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere (through photosynthesis ) thus fighting the increase in the greenhouse effect and other environmental problems such as the acidification of the seas . Ecosia also stated on its Facebook page that over time it has provided work to around 30,000 people thanks to its reforestation projects.
In addition, Ecosia has created a credit card payment system that allocates 80% of the commissions to global reforestation, very low commission costs and an exclusive wooden credit card!
