Hi.
I use mint and just found out about a search engine that actually plants trees.
Just thought you all might be interested in adding it to the distribution.
I was able to add it to firefox though.
Thanks a lot.

Headlines are always made to draw attention ( and to sell ads ), but when I read this article it does say the following which contradicts the headline:Pjotr wrote: ⤴Mon Jul 29, 2019 9:24 am Better yet: increase your CO2 emissions. It helps our planet to become greener:

I support this great idea of using a search engine to do good for the environment. Millions of dollars have already been donated to support the preservation of the Amazon forest for example, And those millions of dollars originated from the users simply using this search engine. Great positive spirit! Would love to see this search engine as one of the possible choices to choose from in the Firefox preferences.But the researchers say the fertilisation effect diminishes over time.
They warn the positives of CO2 are likely to be outweighed by the negatives.

Hi, please can Ecosia be added to the search engine list on: https://www.linuxmint.com/searchengines.php ?
They do plant a lot of trees with many side benefits - the other search engines do nada... Can we help promote Ecosia more please? Thanks

One, does this Search Engine Hurt Users who use the Search Engine?
It'd be strange if a Billion Users flocked to the Search Engine without even realizing
that the Search Engine might hurt them in return...
Is it safe to use for 1? "Do They Collect Data on anyone?"
"Are They Overly Strict?" & "How Is Their Security?"
If All Angles Are A Solid here?
Then that is good News for the Search Engine.
