Welcome to another Tech Tip! This month, I’m sharing a search engine that helps the environment each time you use it: Ecosia<\/a>. They donate 80% of their profits to non-profit organizations that focus on reforestation. They even publish their monthly financial reports<\/a> and tree planting receipts so users can hold them accountable. It’s a service that I’ve used off and on over the years, and I really enjoy watching the counter that tells me how many trees I’ve planted with my searches! Mobile apps<\/a> are available so you can even help plant them on-the-go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite alternative search engine, and what does it do differently than Google? Please share in the comments below!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
