@LeBaux It isn't only Ecosia that stinks. Both Duck Duck Go and Startpage also reek. None of those three give very many relevant search results. Sadly only Google does a barely reasonable job of returning anything relevant.
I don't get it, but I hope somehow this is meant to be humorous

@TalGarik It depends on the kinds of searches you have to do. For my work, I have been unable, despite multiple attempts, to wean myself off of Google.

I doubt that. Startpage gives Google search results, just without the personalisation, which is in most cases a good thing. You don't want to be targeted by customized ads and search results, because Google thinks it knows what's best for you.

@luetage I'm not crazy about Google tracking or profiling me, but I REALLY need a search to be both broad and centered on prior results I have used. Few terms, many results, but results relevant to prior ones I have selected - not ones in diverse subject areas, distant towns, unrelated people. That just adds time curating search results - and when there are tens of thousands, good curating is really impossible. Google is sometimes completely wrong about what I want, but more often, it's rather on-target.

@emicash: At an individual level, it's up to every single one of us to reduce their environmental footprint, e.g. choose how we travel, choose to recycle, pick natural detergents, etc, etc. At a company level, we can improve the browser to make it more efficient, we can provide green options, such as Ecosia, we can aim to run the servers on clean energy, and to create a green office culture. Maybe we're not perfect but we'll get there. Technology just needs to be put to good use

@Pesala The visuals are stunning, however the facts and their impact are not. Thanks for sharing this one.

@para-noid: I do find google will give me more results but in my research I have found Bing to give me fewer but more relevant results.

@pesala: @pesala: "Working from home using the Internet"... Yes I tried to get to do that as i did not have to deal with the public an only occasionally directly with my clients. I could have come in two times a week (even less) but my manager needed bodies at desks to define his position in this hierarchical management system. So I had to commute 100+ Km to my desk and back home every day, even though we had the technology.
