Ecosia is great in general, they’ve done stuff like this before for wildfires and such, and they are carbin negative and use 100% of their profits for helping the planet

The search engine is also pretty good too!

    66 is recorded currently in my ecosia account, but I used to have well over a hundred on an old PC before I ever realized you could sign in to track across devices. I probably have a ton on my work PC that isn’t tracked to my account either.

      I just learned you can create an account to track this! I am always a bit sad to see my progress being lost on cookie refreshes or whatever happens. Will change this as soon as possible. Thanks for highlighting that!

        Their privacy policy is pretty good and good enough for me, and it’s leagues ahead of Bing and Google’s. Also, it’s just for tracking trees, which isn’t hard to do privately

            Well that’s because they went public and expanded and all that jazz; Ecosia is a certified B-Corp and nonprofit and an owner sold their shares to the Purpose Foundation so they can’t sell Ecosia.
