What makes the Ecosia search “green”?
There are two reasons we describe Ecosia searches as “green”: first, Ecosia donates at least 80% of its proceeds to a WWF rainforest protection project. Protecting forests is the most effective way to reduce CO2 emissions. Saving a single hectare of rainforest can prevent 600 tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere. Second, Ecosia’s server runs on green electricity – and Ecosia offsets the CO2 generated by Bing’s and Yahoo’s servers. Learn more.
