## Description

Refoorest is a free Chrome extension that enables users to contribute to global reforestation efforts without changing their preferred search engine. Upon installation, your first tree is planted immediately, helping to fight global warming, offset carbon footprints, and promote biodiversity.

Supported by partners who fund tree planting, Refoorest plants trees in deforested areas such as Central America, Haiti, Mozambique, Kenya, Madagascar, Nepal, and Indonesia. Each tree sequesters 30 kg of CO2 yearly and supports local communities by creating jobs for farmers. The extension respects your data privacy and works seamlessly with all major search engines, including Google, Bing, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, and others. Join Refoorest today to make a daily ecological impact and support the planet sustainably.
