I just learnt about the search engine Ecosia which claims to use its advertising revenue to plant trees. I was going through their website and they seem legitimate on the surface but I wanted to check if its bs or not before using it.

    I looked into them a while ago, and from what I can find, they seem to be legit in that they really do use the profits for tree planting.

      Thanks for the answer! They seem to be transparent, and even have a breakdown of they use their money by month, which I appreciate. Just wanted to make sure there weren’t any huge news stories that blew the lid on this and said it was all fake or something. Thanks again
