We’re fighting for a Climate Nobel Prize, and we’re not alone — support is growing in the scientific community 💚 Join the movement by commenting below and sharing this post. Got more to say? Reach out at press@ecosia.org to add your name to the growing list of climate scientists and activists publicly supporting the campaign. #ecosia #climatenobelprize

We're working over 600 farming families in Kenya to plant trees, restore land, and improve livelihoods. Joseph and Mary have been planting trees since 2023, and now have almost 100 fruit trees on their small farm. They're seeing better fruit yields, healthier soil, and more income to support their family. This is what progress looks like. All funded by your Ecosia searches 🌱 #reforestation #ecosia

In July, your searches financed more than 2 million trees across 14 countries 🌳 From Romania and Italy to Nicaragua, India and Madagascar, you helped fund biodiverse, native forests around the world. Your searches can fund this instead of billionaire shareholders. Just switch to Ecosia. #ecosia #searchengine

Sometimes the best thing you can do to restore a forest is… nothing 🌱 This project with our partner GEOTA in Portugal is a good reminder that restoring forests isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some areas are being left to regenerate naturally. Others are being restored by planting a mix of native species. The more we learn about how landscapes recover after fire, the better we can understand when to step in and when to let nature do its thing 💚 #ecosia #reforestation #wildfires

Your Ecosia searches gave these forests a second chance 🌳 These before and afters are the result of years of reforestation work with local communities and restoration partners around the world 💚 Every search on Ecosia helps us plant native trees where they are needed most, turning degraded landscapes back into thriving forests that support people and wildlife. If you haven’t already, download Ecosia and help us bring more forests back 🌱 #reforestation #ecosia

Somewhere, a forest is growing back because of you 💚 These are just a few of the places where we’re able to plant trees thanks to your Ecosia searches 🌳 We work with local communities and restoration partners to plant biodiverse, native trees where they’re needed most. Together, we’re restoring forest ecosystems and creating healthier landscapes for people and wildlife 🐒 Over 250 million trees planted so far. Get the Ecosia app and help us do more of this. #ecosia #reforestation

@esreicht@mastodon.social I would say not. Yikes.. sorry to see that happening b/c the EU is less likely to do the same now. #Qwant & #Ecosia are both #Microsoft syndicates who work in contradiction to their claimed values and purpose. They are both privacy-hostile and treat the Tor community with hostility. Ecosia fails to grasp how working with #Amazon and Microsoft contradicts the environmental cause. It’s really bad news. There is no doubt these wolves in sheep’s clothes will fool the EU into endorsement. @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu

» #EUSP (#EuropeanSearchPerspective) is our joint venture with #Qwant to build a #EuropeanSearchIndex. We started serving results to users in France last year, and now we’re excited to go live in Germany too. You won’t notice a big difference – but this is a big step towards #DigitalSovereignty. « #Ecosia #UnplugTrump #UnplugBigtech https://blog.ecosia.org/eusp-germany-rollout/

#Google -n geht leichter über die Lippen, aber jetzt sollte man echt öfter #Ecosia -en … https://www.mdr.de/altpapier/das-altpapier-suchmaschine-ecosia-deutsches-tiktok-wsocial-100.html (... wie immer mit Audio)

Your searches on Ecosia helped bring this landscape back to life in Ethiopia 🌳 Together with our partner Green Ethiopia, we’ve planted 20,000 trees here since 2017. These trees are already making a huge difference for people and wildlife: they’re cooling the land, restoring water cycles and stopping the soil from washing away 💚 Keep searching to help us restore even more landscapes! #ethiopia #reforestation #ecosia

Meet Amaille. In 2023, she started planting trees alongside her crops in Nyarusange, Rwanda. Today, those trees protect her fields from erosion, hold moisture in the soil, and naturally boost her crop yields. The extra income has changed everything. Amaille was able to buy livestock, secure money for her family’s healthcare, and send all four of her children to school. Want to see more farmers like Amaille succeed? Switch your search engine to Ecosia 🌍🌱 #ecosia #climateaction

🔎 Search engines are infrastructure. And infrastructure must be neutral. In energy, rail, and telecoms, whoever controls the infrastructure cannot favor their own services. The same logic must apply to search. At Ecosia, we index the web. We don't compete with it. Users deserve genuine choice. #ecosia #dma #bigtech #digitalmarkets

Wait… that’s the same place? 🌳👀 These before and afters are the result of years of reforestation work with local communities and restoration partners around the world 💚 Every search on Ecosia helps us plant native trees where they are needed most, turning degraded landscapes back into thriving forests that support people and wildlife. If you haven’t already, switch to Ecosia and help us bring more forests back 🌱 #reforestation #beforeandafter #ecosia

Atención usuarios de ECOSIA ⚠️ Ecosia dice tener mucho amor por los árboles y las energías renovables, pero en la letra chica terminan llamando a los conocidos de siempre. Su principal proveedor de IA es Mistral (que también está bajo sospechas por temas de copyright) y usan de respaldo a OpenAI 🤦 #AI #genAI #chatbot #OpenAI #Mistral #Ecosia #greenwashing #search #ecology #browser

ECOSIA dice que tiene «la IA más ecológica del mundo» 🤦 Pero el principal problema de esta afirmación es que «IA» y «ecología» son conceptos que van por carriles opuestos, más aún si las empresas en las que se apoyan son parte del grupo que acelera el daño al medioambiente. Esto es puro greenwashing ⚠️ #AI #Mistral #OpenAI #browser #ecosia #greenwashing #energy #environment #data #ecology #tech #technology

RE: https://mastodon.social/@ecosia/116851286194372782 Ah ! #Ecosia permet maintenant de désactiver complètement l'usage d'#IA sur son moteur de recherche ! Et, avec ou sans IA, ils continueront à planter des arbres ! C'est con que toute l'eau nécessaire pour les arbres soit utilisée pour refroidir les data-center dédiés à l'IA qu'Ecosia a choisi de mettre en place et d'activer par défaut. #IARienQuiVa

Out of curiosity, I tried to find the option to turn off @ecosia@mastodon.social 's AI features. The first thing I pressed (paperclip at the bottom left of the search field) brought up this dialog. So much for that. I have no more questions. @davidgerard@circumstances.run@fasterandworse@hci.social @ketan@climatejustice.social@kimcrawley@zeroes.ca#ecosia #greenwashing #highOnAI

Jetzt wo ihr alle auf eine #freie und offene Plattform für #SocialMedia gewechselt seid, das #Fediverse, könnt ihr z.B. bei den #Suchmaschine weiter machen. 🔎 @MetaGer@suma-ev.social 🔎 @Mojeek@mastodon.social 🔎 @monocles@monocles.social 🔎 https://gruble.de Ne du, so was wie #DuckDuckGo, #StartPage & #Ecosia liefern Daten ihrer Crawler wie #Bing (M$) und/oder #Google. Pseudonymisiert ist nicht anonym, denn die sind vertraglich dazu verpflichtet. 🧵 1/x

Wollt Ihr Euch für eine ökologische, uneigennütze Suchmaschine einsetzen? Wir benutzen #Ecosia schon eine Weile, aber hier geht es darum, dass die Verwaltung in Schleswig-Holstein die auch nutzt und damit Bäume pflanzt. (Und den KI-Quark braucht man meistens nicht.) https://www.landtag.ltsh.de/petitionen/digitale-souvernitt-durch-nachhaltige-und-europische-suchmaschine/

@futurebird@sauropods.win To be free from Google, the EU invests into an own search machine which is a cooperation of #Ecosia and #Qwant. No free community would have the financial power you need for such a project! @doomsdayrs@cyberpunk.lol
