Use Ecosia! It uses it's profits to plant trees around the globe. More trees = better environment = better skiing = more fun

theres an extension for chrome so that every search you make in the top bar you are actually searching with ecosia

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ecosia-the-search-engine/clellnciejhoedgepbdilbkdkaoecgpc

Theres no reason not to use it, especially on chrome

Soooo, yes. You do value saving feral cats over saving human lives. But it's justified because you get to save a few cute dogs along the way too.

You seem like the kinda person who would strap an avi beacon to your dog out in the BC.
