We’re All In: The Ecosia Manifesto

IMO, the goal of Ecosia has always been trying to "hijack" something that people always do (searching) and use profit from that to "plant trees", while also proving you can be profitable (though in this case all profits go to green projects) and still give back to the Earth. If Google invested 1% of profits in similar efforts to have systematic change and green lobbyism (not green washing or carbon credits), Ecosia wouldn't even need to exist.

It's powered by Bing with some flavour on top. I think it's an alright search engine. And it's doing great environmentalism :)
