This Is How You Can Plant A Tree (for free) Every Time You Surf The Internet

Imagine if every time you made a search on the internet, a tree was one step closer to being planted. Every time you browsed your favourite online store or searched for the morning's weather, you were contributing to a greener planet. Well, with Ecosia - the search engine that plants trees - you don't have to imagine. With every 45 searches, Ecosia generates enough money through advertisements to plant 1 tree.

Although admittedly this post is beginning to sound like an advertisement, it's really just a way for me to share with you what I believe to be a small, simple switch to our daily lives that can be made in the fight against climate change. Of course, using Ecosia alone won't reverse human impact on the environment - or, in fact, come marginally close to doing so. However, combined with other positive commitments and contributions to our planet, switching your search engine to Ecosia is a hopeful, productive and, ultimately, a worthwhile step towards a cleaner Earth.
