Many of you have been missing our tree counter — it was a powerful way to see your searches making a difference. Now, we’re excited to share a new counter that gives you a fuller picture of how you’re helping regenerate the planet.
Introducing our new impact counter
Ecosia has always been about turning your everyday digital habits into real climate action — and that action now goes way beyond planting trees. Today, we support farmers who are restoring soil through regenerative agriculture, protect endangered animals and plants in biodiversity hotspots, invest in bold climate tech, and grow renewable energy capacity to speed up the transition away from fossil fuels.
None of this would be possible without you. That’s why we built the new counter: to make it easier for you to see how you're driving real change around the world.
How the impact counter works
Log in to your Ecosia account (or sign up if you don’t have one). Once you’re logged in, you’ll collect a seed for each day you search with Ecosia. Each seed reflects real-world impact, from trees planted and land restored, to renewable energy generated and tree care hours funded. You can see your impact at a glance on your profile page.
You’ll still be contributing without signing up, but having an account allows you to track, save, and see proof of your impact. Seeds show you how much you’ve helped replenish the planet and they help you level up, reflecting your growing contribution to climate action. Soon, you’ll be able to collect more seeds by logging in on a second device, sharing Ecosia with friends, or subscribing to our newsletter.
This is just the beginning
Over time, we’ll be adding more ways to make your experience interactive and personal. You’ll be able to shape your journey, receive climate tips tailored to your interests, unlock planet-friendly rewards, and explore behind-the-scenes stories about how your seeds are restoring landscapes, supporting communities, and protecting ecosystems. You’ll even be able to team up with others around shared climate goals.
We hope this new counter helps make your impact feel tangible. Because it is. The climate crisis calls for action, and with Ecosia, you’re taking meaningful steps every single day.
The best way to collect seeds and grow your impact is to make Ecosia the default option on all your devices. If you haven’t already, sign up to start collecting seeds and see your counter grow. Then track and share your impact with others. The more people who join, the more good we can do for the planet — together.
