IMMEDIATE ACTIONS

Make Ecosia your new search engine and plant trees with your searches, for free! Rather than pay out any dividends to its owners, Ecosia uses its profits to invest in tree planting. 

 

Each month, they pay partners to plant trees and to bring back forests through alternative methods, e.g. firefighting and natural regeneration. 

Buy Nothing. Give Freely. Share Creatively.

 

The Buy Nothing Project is a network of hyper-local gift economies. Buy Nothing Project rules are simple: Post anything you’d like to give away, lend, or share amongst neighbors. Ask for anything you’d like to receive for free or borrow. Keep it legal. No hate speech. No buying or selling, no trades or bartering: strictly a gift economy.
