The climate crisis can feel overwhelming a lot of the time, and while many of us want to get started on saving the planet, it can be hard to know how. Which is understandable. Individual actions can feel small in the face of one of the most complex problems humanity has ever faced, which has major systemic issues, and goals that are constantly being shifted—or outright ignored.
Rather than feel despondent or stuck, there are things you can do to get started this Earth Day. Things that are simple and free—but also make a real difference. Ecosia is one of them.
Ecosia started out as a tree planting search engine, but has evolved into a climate impact powerhouse. Thanks to 20 million people like you, we’re tackling the climate crisis from every angle to create real, lasting change. Now when you use Ecosia, you’re also helping to protect wildlife, create renewable energy, and invest in climate impact initiatives across the globe.
The beauty of Ecosia is that all of this wide-ranging climate action integrates effortlessly and seamlessly into your day-to-day life. You use the internet every day, so why not fund climate action and plant trees while you do so? With Ecosia you can change the planet without having to change your life.
Global politics are in upheaval right now, but the climate crisis remains constant, and Ecosia’s values and actions have stayed steadfast. Like the fact that we can’t be bought—our founder and CEO Christian has given up his right to ever sell or profit from Ecosia. Plus we run on proof, not promises. We use 100% of our profits for the planet—and we tell you all about it. No secrets here! We also help you protect what you love, with people all around the world. The global Ecosia community is making a real difference, whether it’s planting native trees, building renewable energy, or saving endangered wildlife.
As governments are rolling back climate protections all over the globe, we’re putting the power to fight the climate crisis back in your hands. So if you’re not using Ecosia already, consider giving it a try this Earth Day—it only takes 30 seconds. And if you’re already making a difference with us (thank you!) why not share our Earth Day video with your friends. The first step is often the hardest, but if you can help others get started, we can grow our impact for our shared home, together.
