Precious forests are burning in Brazil and elsewhere on the planet. Over the past two years, Vivaldi users have helped plant an astonishing 142,457 trees. What’s more, our tree count has doubled since April! Here’s how you can help too.
Blazing fires have been ripping through the Amazon, the largest rainforest in the world. That’s bad news for all of us because the Amazon is vital for everyone. It’s called the “lungs of the world” for a very good reason – it absorbs CO2 and produces oxygen on a massive scale.
It also stores carbon and slows down climate change.
While politicians and environmentalists are working to solve this “international crisis”, there’s a simple way you can help.
Search the web, plant a tree
When forests are burning, there’s one thing that has the potential to help – the mass planting of trees.
In 2017, we started partnering with Berlin-based Ecosia, a search engine like no other.
Ecosia is a non-profit that donates 80% of what it makes from search ads to tree-planting projects in countries like Madagascar, Indonesia, Peru, Uganda, Tanzania and, crucially, Brazil. When you search with Ecosia, trees are planted in the world’s most environmentally threatened areas.
It’s never been so simple to reforest and help reduce CO2 emissions (and, yes, Vivaldi and Ecosia servers run on 100% renewable energy).
Searching with Ecosia, you will see a small tree counter appear in the top right corner of the page. It will show a personal record of how many trees you helped plant. Every search request removes 1kg of CO2 from the atmosphere!
🌳 Since the beginning of our partnership, we’ve helped plant an astonishing 142,457 trees! What’s more, we’ve almost doubled our tree count since April when it stood at 73,000 trees.
🌳 Altogether, Ecosia has planted 65 million trees since they started 10 years ago.
