Description

What we find interesting: More than 8.5 billion searches are performed worldwide every day. Performing these searches consumes a significant amount of energy. The average internet user uses approximately 365 kWh of electricity and 2,900 liters of water annually. This is equivalent to the CO2 emissions of a car traveling 1,400 km.

So use the browser Ecosia, which runs entirely on renewable energy. Ecosia also uses all advertising revenue for climate action and plants trees.



3 more reasons to switch your browser to Ecosia:
  • Ecosia plants a tree for every 50 searches you make.
  • By planting forests, animals regain their habitat and local communities are supported.
  • Ecosia is 100% transparent and publishes monthly financial reports, so you know exactly how many trees are being planted and where. More than 170 million trees have already been planted thanks to users.
