Climate change is a problem that most of us know about but don't do much about it. This problem can very well be the Ragnarok that ends life on Earth. However most of us don't realise that with changes as simple as changing our search engine, we can do our own little bit to save the environment. These search engines are similar to what you might be using right now and the search results too are excellent. The only difference is the change of the search engine. So here are 4 search engines that you should change to right now!
1) Ecosia - Some of you might already know about this search engine. So this search engine plants trees every time you search the web. It is entirely free to switch to. It also shows how many trees you have planted on the right top corner of your screen. You can change this as your search engine by simply going to Settings - Search Engine and then selecting Ecosia. They also have a YouTube channel where you can find more about their cause.

2) Ocean Hero - This search engine helps save our oceans. Marine life is getting affected massively due to climate change and Ocean Hero seeks to stop that. It is free to add as it is an extension. It collects the plastics that are polluting the oceans. The experience too was excellent for me. It too has a counter which shows how many bottles you have removed from the oceans. Another really cool feature is that it shows photos of marine animals and beautiful landscapes which refresh on their own when you are searching with them.

3) Ekoru - This extension too saves our oceans. But unlike Ocean Hero, you can download their app on your phone too! Another difference is that while Ocean Hero only recovers plastics, Ekoru also plants plants in the oceans which promotes new ecosystems. The searches are also made through green energy so you are also reducing the amount of Carbon dioxide that is generated every time you search the web. It too shows the plastic that has been recovered by you, the carbon dioxide you have prevented by using Ekoru and the number of seagrass shoots that you have planted.

4) The last search engine on our list tackles an entirely different problem. It tackles world hunger. With the money that it receives every time you search, it feeds people who go to their bed hungry each night. It makes sure that the meals are nutritious so the people who eat their meals don't develop malnutrition and for those who have it they provide meals so they can recover from it. It shows the amount of rice bowls you have served every time you search. They work with established NGO's to realise their dream of ending World Hunger.

As you might have realised, with a couple of clicks you can do your bit to save the environment. The way these search engines work is this. When you search, it generates money which goes to the company. But instead of keeping the money for themselves like other search engines, they instead use it to solve these issues. To know more about how they work you can visit their respective sites and know more. There are also many YouTube videos of people who prove that this is not a scam. I myself have used all of these search engines and intend on continue using them. Moving towards a greener Earth is the only way we can survive. So I highly encourage you to change your search engines to what I have recommended. There are of course many other search engines that you can use but I find these to be the best. So let us do our bit to save the environment!
