With this in mind Sjoerd Huijbregts launched his \u2018ZoekGroen\u2019 (\u2018green search\u2019) initiative. ZoekGroen is a Google-based search engine that donates 95% of its income to charity.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sjoerd had been carbon offsetting via Trees for All for several years when he came up with the idea of starting his own green search engine. A simple idea with major impact: that was his aim. The ZoekGroen search engine was launched in 2017. Sjoerd, a consultant and project leader for an engineering agency characterizes it as a \u2018hobby that got out of hand\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u2018Planting trees via ZoekGroen is the simplest way of helping to green the planet.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>ZoekGroen has just one aim: to plant as many trees as possible and push back the desert. Sjoerd\u2019s business model is entirely idealistic, with 95% of advertising revenue going to Trees for All projects while just 5% is used to cover organisational costs. There\u2019s no money for marketing campaigns, so the business relies solely on word-of-mouth advertising. \u2018It was a conscious decision not to set up a commercial business\u2019, says Sjoerd. \u2018Hopefully the network around ZoekGroen will grow, attracting people like me who want to give something back to the world.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participating couldn\u2019t be easier. Just install ZoekGroen as your standard browser via the website&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.zoekgroen.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.zoekgroen.nl<\/a>. You only have to do it once and from then on, you\u2019ll be contributing to a better climate and more trees in the world through your search activity. There\u2019s nothing else you have to do. The search results on ZoekGroen are supplied by the world\u2019s most popular search engine, Google. \u2018Planting trees via ZoekGroen is the simplest way of helping green the planet,\u2019 says Sjoerd.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9901,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11078","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-nieuws"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>ZoekGroen: a green search engine - Trees for All<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Planting trees via ZoekGroen?
