Help Plant Trees Using Ecosia's Search Engine


Google's search engine is easily one of the most used search engines around the world. However, what if I told you that you could help plant trees by simply switching from Google to another search engine that's almost just as good? Would you be interested in making the switch?

For those of you who are willing to make the switch and help plant trees, then please read along. For the others who simply cannot ditch Google's powerful search engine, I'd still suggest reading on to learn more about Ecosia — the search engine that plants trees with your searches for free.


Ecosia offers users the ability to search the internet just as they would via Google search, however, every couple of searches by a user helps the company plant trees.

"We use the profit we make from your searches to plant trees where they are needed most. Get the free browser extension and plant trees with every search."

You wouldn't have to pay a single dime to use Ecosia — but, of course, you still have to pay your internet bill. What's even more interesting is the feature that displays the number of trees the user helped in planting by performing searches via the company's search engine.

Ecosia Search Engine | Trees Planted via Search

The search results are on-power with any other search engine hence you wouldn't have to worry about having to scroll through multiple search results to find what you're looking for.

'But wait a minute — how do we know the company actually is using the revenue generated by searches to plant trees?' Well, if that question came to you're mind, don't fret, you're not alone.

The company publishes its monthly financial reports and the tree planting receipts to be completely transparent about their workings.

For those of you concerned about privacy, you're in safer hands than with Google. You could view Ecosia's user privacy details here.

Chances are that you might have already heard about Ecosia and have been using the search engine already. However, if this is your first time reading about it, then I hope the information above made you consider switching from Google or any other search engine you've been using to Ecosia.

The planet would thank you.

Oppo is on a smartphone release streak. The company has been launching new devices just about every second month. Its newest budget smartphone to launch is the Oppo Reno A which was launched today in Japan. The Reno A comes with a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a FullHD+ resolution. Powering the device is the tried and tested Snapdragon 710 processor coupled with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage . Oppo's budget-oriented device has a decent 3600mAh battery which should get you through a day of use on a single charge. What's even more interesting is that the device comes with an IP67 water and dust resistant rating. It's still rare to see budget smartphones to have an official Ingress Protection rating so kudos to Oppo. On the rear, we get dual rear cameras. The primary sensor is a 12MP wide-angle lens and paired with it is the 2MP depth sensor . To be honest, it would have been great if Oppo went with an ultra-wide-angle lens for the second camera. However, given...

Is The Google Pixel 4 Waterproof?

Image
Google unveiled its flagship duo for the year, the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL . Both devices were heavily leaked before the launch and there isn't really anything new that surprised us. The Pixel 4 and 4 XL start at a price of  $799 and  $899 respectively and you might be wondering whether or not the Pixel 4 duo is waterproof. Well, you can ease your mind since the new flagship devices from Google indeed have an IP68 dust and water resistance rating. This means that the Pixel 4 duo should be able to survive being submerged under 1.5m of water for 30 minutes . Of course, it's worth noting that an Ingress Protection rating does not always guarantee that the device would always survive being submerged in water or exposed to dust. Nonetheless, while we weren't surprised by the specifications and features on the latest Pixel duo, what surprised is that the Pixel 4 duo would not be brought over to India. It seems Google has decided to skip one of the largest...
