The Eco Committee is challenging everyone at Woodlands to change their search engine habits.

Ecosia is an ethical search engine that donates 80% of its profits towards planting trees around the world and employing people in LEDC countries to grow and plant trees.

Their aim is to tackle climate change and undo some of the damage of deforestation in places like the Amazon Jungle and in African rainforests.

Every 45 searches raises enough money to plant one tree.

 

Our challenge

Part 1 = For the next month. Use Ecosia in school.

In your classroom. In ICT suite. On ipads. For one month.

Then decide if its worth sticking with or going back to another search engine.

Every 45 searches earns enough money to plant a tree.

Part 2 = tell someone outside of school about Ecosia and challenge them to use it for one month.
