What we're doing to support our partners High Atlas Foundation after a devastating earthquake in Morocco

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!

    I guess they’re announcing it in advance so that if anyone objects to funding humans instead of trees (as someone surely will) then they’ll be free to not use Ecosia on that day.

      Well that, it shows they are doing good things and they care, and it functions as an incentive for people to use Ecosia or convince others to join like this post here does

        True but it does look like planting trees has been their entire thing up until now. Maybe they’ve done 1-time things like this before, I dunno.
