How 50 million trees have changed the world

  • Back in 2014, we planted one tree per minute in Burkina Faso. Today, we’re planting a new tree every second across 21 reforestation projects across the planet. And thanks to you, we’ve now planted 50 million trees in total.
    These trees have absorbed 2.5 million tonnes of toxic CO2 from our atmosphere. But they are doing so much more. They are creating a habitat for chimpanzees in Uganda. In the Sahel region of Burkina Faso, they stop the desert from moving south. They are restoring water supplies and soil fertility in Peru. And they are providing more dependable, diverse and plentiful harvests to smallholder farmers around the world.
    That’s why 50 million trees matter. Thank you for joining us on this journey. We’re just getting started.

      They have ad's in the form of text so they aren't invasive. Keeps the site clean. That's how google got so big and preferred. Plastering pictures, videos or animated ads will actually make less people use the site. I like it as it currently is. If people want video ads to watch so they contribute it should be on a separate page or site, designed just for that.

      I think Google have bigger fish to fry. Ecosia poses such a minute threat to them. Not Ecosia, nor Bing, nor Yahoo, nor anyone else will ever undermine the algorithmic search power and depth of Google search. It's become a natural monopoly in that game and is years ahead. However, Ecosia will take enough of a slice of a the pie to make a digital dent in climate change. And that's what matters.

    I'm so emotional right now, I literally checked the tree counter every 30 seconds today in math class.
    I was there when it hit 50 million and all I have left to say is Thank you for changing my world and so many others.
    thank you for restoring our world back to the beauty of before.
    thank you for helping the beautiful animals get there territory back, and for helping California recover.
    thank you for supporting family's in need.
    thank you for being so community driven, for empowering woman, and respecting my data.
    and for inspiring me to do better, to strive higher, to see the power of me to make change in this world.
    but most of all thanks, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for inspiring us to be the best we can be, and that out of nowhere, one person and one tree can change the world.
    It's crazy to see how you've grown from 2014 and in the past week I have roped 15 people onto the ecosia train to celebrate 50m, and will continue until we hit 100 million trees and beyond. The crazy thing is the community we have grown together, and how it will continue to expand. Just look at the likes to dislikes ratio of is 3000:6 how crazy is that?!
    if you are reading this thank you so much, and if you are from ecosia this is for you. it would be so awesome if you could maybe team up with duckduckgo.
    both of you love seeing change in the world, and duckduckgo even has a option to disable ads.
    maybe a 30% profit to ecosia on duckduck go, + you get there search engine, and 5% of your profits to duckduckgo?

      keep on reaching for that heart guys. we can do this! if you have any other ideas for making ecosia awesome comment below! One other thing I was wondering about is how did you come across ecosia.
      For me it was looking for alternatives to Google products. I had switched to vivaldi (awesome browser by the way 5/5) and was looking to change Google search to something else. I was about to settle on duckduckgo (see above and below) but then I saw ecosia and was sold.

    • @aeronalto1065
      @aeronalto1065 5 лет назад +8

      It's pretty incredible. Especially when you remember that Ecosia has only been around for a few years, and that their rate of tree-planting goes up exponentially over time, as more and more people join the bandwagon. That's awesome that you've converted so many people! The average Google user, at least, makes an average of 37 searches per month (theoverspill.blog/2015/10/19/searches-average-mobile-google-problem/). Multiply that by 15, and that's 555 new searches on Ecosia every month that you caused to happen. I hope all Ecosia users are that enthusiastic. While a team-up between DuckDuckGo and Ecosia would be nice, you have to remember that ads are how Ecosia makes money. Companies pay them to put their search results at the top of the list (marked by "Ad"), and they use that money to plant trees. So DuckDuckGo and Ecosia, while independently awesome, would actually end up working against each other.

    • @aeronalto1065
      @aeronalto1065 5 лет назад +13

      As for other ideas, it would be really cool if Ecosia could implement something similar to the "Google Instant" features. I still find myself using Google every so often when I need to make a calculation or look up a word, because they will recognize your search and bring up a calculator or dictionary/thesaurus right there on the search page, which is very convenient. I'm in college and have to write a ton of papers, and I often end up using the Google thesaurus multiple times a day. If Ecosia had something similar, I think I'd be planting a lot more trees. Ecosia, if you guys see this, please think about it! It would be a really good way to get more searches out of each Ecosia user.

      @eothebest5765 5 лет назад +3

      @Aeron Alto
      Agreed about the instant recommendation feature, ecosia has a calculator already, but it still lacks some features.
      However I would disagree about the duckduckgo thing. You seem to be under the impression that when I wrote about the turn off ads part i meant that duckduckgo does not have ads, I simply meant that duckduckgo probably does not care that much about profit. Duckduckgo also features great instant results, possibly better then Google's.
      about the friends they are super syked about it due to the fact that they are also activists. admittedly immature but, they are so crazed they did fake searches to see the counter go up. also assuming they go and recommend it to 3 others, (most have already have) that would just ripple onward, spreading and spreading. and it defiantly seems that we do a lot more then 37 searches a month, probably creeping towards at least 100. if that is so lets see, (15 x 4 = x (friends + their recruits) x100 /45 (45 searches to plant a tree)) that's 133 trees a month! I have also found that duckduckgo's !bang results are awesome

    Couple of things, bear with me, please.
    Thanks to this and the banner above my search results, I realized I had Adblock on this whole time, negating any revenue for planting trees, so I fixed that.
    Second, I'm curious as to how many actual trees have been planted through Ecosia and it's partners. It seems as though the counter is based on searches and you have stated that an average of 45 searches is needed to plant a tree.
    So, when you say 50 million trees, do you mean 50 million actual trees have been planted? Or do you instead mean that, you estimate X trees have been planted where X = (Number of searches) / 45 and X = 50 million?
    If the former, that's amazing!
    If the latter, then based on the fact that I have had over 1,000 searches with Adblock on, none of my searches have directly helped to plant trees. If I assume I am a typical user, making up at least half the user base, then it stands to reason that less than half the number of trees you estimate to be planted have actually been planted.
