Q&A Ecosia Scam or Legit

We had received an email regarding Ecosia asking if this organization is scam or legit?

Team of The Seed of Life® did some digging and here is what we were able to find out. If you believe otherwise, please kindly comment below and we would love to learn more.

Ecosia is a search engine similar to Google. There is also an extension of Ecosia to chrome, which one can add.

Ecosia  doesn't have their own search engine, rather they piggy back on Bing Search Engine. Per their business model, they track all the information regarding the surfer. They claim they give back to the society around 80% of profit, which they make from advertisements.

That 80% of profit can go to various areas and one of them is planting trees. Yes, they have planted trees, but as an individual, surfer does it make any difference in planting? Is there a way to track how you personally made any difference in the environment by using Ecosia?

The simple answer is No, there is no way to track that, nor is there any guarantee.

If you choose to use Ecosia or not, that is definitely up to you as a consumer and surfer. Please stay safe and vigilant.

The Seed of Life® Goals

Many of us become the victims of depression, anxiety, outcast within our family members, and most of all alone, confused and hurt. When we started The Seed of Life®, we realized, each of us are broken, but that doesn't necessarily mean we bleed on Earth by destroying bit by bit.

Instead of bleeding, we united with each other and started creating a small path of difference in our lives to make path of better future. We don't like to "die" or be forgotten, while still being alive.

We want to live, make a difference, and whoever is forgotten or "dead" we would like to pay respect and attributes to them by respectfully planting a tree in their memory. Keep their legacy alive for next generation(s) to come!!!

The Seed of Life® is committed to Restore Nature | Plant Trees | Honor a Life | Give Hope | Leave a Living Legacy

Sudden Beginnings

When few of us friends came together one weekend in summer of 2019, we were discussing our jobs, politics, beliefs, and economy. Suddenly the hot topic became environment, of course, as we all are passionate regarding mother nature.

We realized that we need to come together and do something for our planet Earth. We cannot be ignorant and chase our dreams of becoming successful or wealthy, if we don't have a safe place to stay. So we decided to create a group called, "The Seed of Life®".

We realized through trees, everything is born and begins and ends. What better name then that. So that is how The Seed of Life® started in summer 2019 in USA
