7 Things You Can Do While Social Distancing




    This blog post is a bit different from my usual content, but it is appropriate for the situation most people in the world are currently in.
    I have been self-quarantined in my apartment for 13 days now. I have done a lot of things during that time and thought I would share some tips for coping with social distancing. This is the perfect time to try new things, finally, do the things you've wanted to for a while, or just completely relax.
    I understand that not everyone is safe, and some people are affected by this virus more than others. But if you are in a situation where you're safely at your home and don't know what to do with all this time, this blog post is for you.
    Here are 7 things you can do while social distancing (approved by me).

1. Clean your home

    I don't mean the standard type of cleaning where you sweep the floors, dust the shelves, and take out the trash. I mean, go through the things you own and assess if you truly need them or not.
    We, humans, tend to hoard stuff. We are made to believe that if we don't have this piece of clothing or that kitchen tool, then we are missing out. Now that you have time, you can go through your items and declutter your house a bit.
    I went through my closets a couple of days ago and added about 10 pieces of clothing that weren't any use for me anymore, and it is time for them to be given up for donations.

2. Go for a walk

    Preferably in nature, since there is more room to distance yourself from other people taking their walks or runs. I have gone out for a walk every single day during my self-quarantine, and it genuinely makes me happy. I enjoy being in nature so much, and it is such a privilege to be able to go and walk there every single day.
    One thing to make your walks even more purposeful and motivating is to take a bag with you and collect the roadside trash. People are very ignorant and still throw trash is nature as if it would make it disappear. Let's do a good deed and clean up other people's mess since they are incapable of doing so themselves.

3. Take online classes or courses

    What better time to learn about something that you've always wanted to, experiment with new topics, and get even better at things you're already good at.
    I am currently enrolled in 2 courses and already finished one. I use a website/app called Coursera. If you want to get a certificate about you taking the course, it can be costly, but you can audit it, which makes the course completely free.
    I have also heard about other websites doing free trials for as long as this situation is over. So search the web and find something that interests you.

4. Online workouts

    Since we don't get enough movement in, and the gyms are closed, there are free subscriptions or open online gyms out there provided for us for the period of the lockdown.
    For example, I own a Fitbit watch and got a message on my app last night that they are giving everyone a free 90-day premium subscription. So obviously, I signed up and now have access to a ton of new and exciting workouts until June 24th for free.
    If you are from the Baltic States, MyFitness made all their content free without subscription, so go check out their website and get moving.
    Another way to access thousands of free workout videos is YouTube. This is honestly the easiest and fastest way! My recommendation is to check out Yoga with Adriene, she has tons of videos for all different levels of athleticism.

5. DIY projects

    Have you been wanting to change the wallpaper in a room at your house, put new shelves up in your bathroom, or maybe make a cool new bag? Now is the time to do all of that!
    I am currently crocheting a bag for myself, and am planning to get into changing the wallpaper and modernize a room that looks like it hasn't been changed since the '80s.
    Look around and think if there is something you've meant to work on and do it. There are tons of videos and blog posts out there that help you through whatever you have in mind step by step.

6. Conference call or group facetime friends and family

    Yes, we are all locked up in our own homes, but that doesn't mean we should lose touch or not "hang out" with our friends and extended family.
    Have lunch with your bestie, go on a walk together (via facetime ofc), or have morning coffee and discuss your plans for the day. Spice up your usual facetime call, and make it into something exciting!
    Also, I just sent a letter to a friend in the USA, even though we talk daily, I thought this will be exciting for both of us!

7. Take this time to relax and unwind

    Last but not least, this is the time to just relax and slow down your usual lifestyle. Watch movies, binge watch Netflix, find new music and podcasts, read a book, draw, write in a journal, or just lay around in your pajamas all day!
    Just do stuff that you usually can't and make most of this unusual situation.

    There are tons of things one can do in the comfort of their home, so there is no reason to go and break the rules. This will make it worse for everyone. The faster we understand the seriousness and take the proper precautions, the faster the lockdown will be over!
    #staythef*ckhome

I hope you have a wonderful day! And STAY HOME!

5 Sustainable Clothing Tips Evryone Should Know





Sustainability and zero waste apply to every aspect of a person's life. One of the big things people can try and be more conscious of is our clothing. Clothes are something all of us use and need, for obvious reasons. That is why it's an important and relatively easy step to take on your sustainability journey. I wrote down some tips to be more sustainable when it comes to clothing.

1. Use what you already have

    This is one of the main things to get used to in zero waste living. Always look at what you have and think if you really need something new, or are you able to live with the things you already own. For me, I still wear a sweater that I got in middle school, and it used to be super oversized, and now its more fitted, but it is still in a perfectly good condition. I try not to go along with the fashion trends created by the industry because that is precisely what the companies want. They convince the consumer that the items already in one's closet are not enough, and they HAVE to buy the newest product the company has. The reason - that's what is stylish at the moment.
    We do not have to go with the flow of the fashion industry. Know yourself and your body type. Not everyone looks good in everything. For example, for my body type, high wasted jeans are EVERYTHING. They compliment my body, and I love them, even though the industry wants me to buy low wasted jeans, which BTW look terrible on me. Just remember to wear what you want to wear and feel the best in because confidence looks better on you than any piece of clothing ever will.

2. Second-hand clothes

    If you do need something new from your wardrobe, check the thrift stores first. There is so much waste generated by the fashion industry, and so many awesome pieces of clothing end up in thrift stores.
    Not only will you get your items much much cheaper than you would from a real store, but you also get unique items that not many people own.
    I personally have gotten the majority of my clothes my whole life second-hand. I enjoy shopping in thrift stores more because you never know what you are going to find or not find that day. But if you do find something, the process makes you love and appreciate that piece of clothing so much more!

3. If you decide to buy new, do your research

    Try to support ethical companies as much as possible, or at least don't support the big fast fashion giants. They run factories where people don't work in good conditions and get awful pay.
     Also, they create so much waste. Those big giants control what is "in" and what's not. They throw out all the clothes they were unable to sell after each season. All this will never go away unless we, the consumers, make a statement and show that we do not tolerate that.

4. Don't buy one wear clothes

    I bet there has been a time for everyone where we needed a ball gown, a tuxedo, etc. I had a situation like that when I was a senior in high school, and we had a senior ball. I needed a dress. Now, I tried to find it for rent or second-hand, but my height made it difficult. I am 190 cm (6'3), so for me to find a dress that would be long enough was hard. So I purchased one, and it is still in my closet, and I will probably never wear it again. 
    I know not everyone will find a perfect dress that's for rent or second-hand, but I encourage everyone to try. 

5. Materials + make it yourself

    Not all materials are created equal. So whenever you are on the fence about something, opt for the 100% cotton option, which is better for the environment than the synthetic materials. 
    This is another situation where there are exceptions. One that I am the most familiar with is hiking. Hiking in cotton is not considered very smart, because cotton soaks moisture very easily and dries slow, so it puts you at risk of hypothermia. Know what you need and do your research would be my advice.
    Make it yourself is just a bit of fun advice, especially at this time, where most of us are sitting at home anyways. If you have any craft skills, you can either upgrade your clothes you already own, or go all out and start sewing, knitting, crocheting your own. If you don't know where to start, YouT

ube has video tutorials to everything you could ever imagine!

Afterlife

     I won't count this as one of the tips, but if you are done with a piece of clothing, don't just throw it in the trash. Heres the order of things I think about before getting rid of something:
  1. Offer to people you know
  2. Sell - to those vintage second-hand stores that would buy them off my hands
  3. Local charities
  4. Donate (goodwill, or other big thrift stores)
  5. If not in good shape - can I make it into rags to use for cleaning, basically can I make it into something else
  6. The last step - get rid of it, there are recycling bins for clothes tho, so be mindful of that.

These were the 5 tips about sustainable clothing. I hope you got something useful out of my post, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I am happy to help anyone with anything!

Stay safe, wash your hands (!!!), and have a beautiful day!

Reasearch Thursdays | Activated Charcoal Water FIlter




    I do research, so you don't have to! That's what my new series, Research Thursdays, is all about. I have been there, seeing something online but not being sure if it's being portrayed truthfully, or wanting a solution to a problem, but don't know what the right thing for it is. I am hoping to solve these problems for you guys with this series. Every other Thursday, I will release a new post in the Research Thursdays series.
    So here is my first one. I talked about switching from bottled water to reusable bottles and drinking tap water in an earlier post. The reason a lot of people do not drink the tap water is the taste and sometimes the impurities that are said to be in the water. I did some research and have a good option for people wanting to improve the quality of their water - an Activated Charcoal Water Filter.

Now you may think how is putting charcoal in my drink going to improve it, doesn't it just make it dirtier? 

    And the answer is in the name - ACTIVATED charcoal. Just regular old charcoal won't do much for the purity of the water. It needs an activating reaction, usually chemically. This process opens a ton of pores in the charcoal on an atomic level. That is what gives it the purifying properties.

What exactly does it do to the water?

    The activated charcoal water filters, as I have already mentioned purify the water. That is a very broad term. The activated charcoal attracts and traps other organic impurities (chlorine). It is important to remember that it does NOT remove microorganisms, so if that is what you are looking for in a water filter, activated charcoal is not for you.
    It improves the taste of the water while adding essential salts like magnesium, iron, and calcium. Basically, the rule with this filter is to know what needs removing from your tap water. If you live in an area with highly contaminated water, or you wish to take water from a lake and make it drinkable, this is not for you. The activated charcoal water filter is best at making your bad tasting regulated tap water drinkable.

Tell me more!

    So if you are still interested, here are some things to know about how to use the filter. 
  • The lifetime of one filter is about 4-6 months, after which the filter is fully compostable.
  • Each filter needs to be "reactivated" every 3-4 weeks.
  • Reactivation means boiling the filter for 10-15 minutes. This gets rid of all the impurities that have been collected in the pores.
  • You get the best result by having the water sit with the filter for hours.
  • Activated charcoal also gets rid of odors, so when you're done with a filter, boil it through and put it in your fridge.

I want it now, where can I get it.

    Many companies sell these filters. There are also some on sale on Amazon. I will have all the links listed right here:

Kishu Charcoal Water Filter:
If you have a zero waste shop near where you live, chances are they also sell these filters. Buy local, if you can, especially right now that a lot of small businesses will be struggling.
If you are from the US, Package Free Shop also carries them, and they have free shipping on orders over $25. Check it out here!

As always, stay safe, and have a beautiful day!

5 Things I Am Working on at the Moment to be More Sustainable




    As I have already said multiple times before, this is a journey. I have known about the zero waste movement and tried to better myself for about 2 years. I am still nowhere near how I want to be living eventually, but I keep trying to be better. I think that is the best thing anyone can do. So I decided to write about what I am working on at the moment. That way, everyone can see where in the journey I'm currently at.

1. Figuring Out the Waste Management in My Childhood Home

    I haven't lived at home (except for summers) since the 9th grade. Usually, I get back home mid-May and stay until the beginning of August. Well, this year, because of the pandemic, things are a bit different, and I am back home in mid-March. That means I am going to be here for a long time this year. I will take this time to try and establish a waste management system within the house that everyone can follow even if I'm not here.
    At the moment, I am trying to figure out how recycling, composting, etc. even works in Tallinn, Estonia. I have lived away from the country for about 5 years, which means I have a good understanding of how the waste management system works in Pennsylvania but have no clue how it works in the city I consider my home.
    So the first thing I am working on is trying to reduce the waste in the house and the waste that goes to the trash needs to be sorted better.

2. Less (Plastic) Packaged Food

    This second point kind of goes with the first one. There is no waste to manage if nothing is generated. I am not there yet, where I could fill only a mason jar with my trash in one year, not even close. But I have noticed that I haven't been paying much attention to the packaging in Tallinn so far. When I lived alone in the USA or Poland, it was different. I would only cook for myself, and it didn't matter what I bought. So often, I picked things in cardboard over plastic, no package at all over packaged goods, etc. 
    At home, it is harder, because I have established favorites over the years, and if I only come home for a little bit, I want to eat all my favorite stuff. Well, now that I am here for a more extended period, it is the perfect time to find new favorites with less packaging, or at least less plastic packaging.

3. Eat Less Meat

    I have always had a weird relationship with meat. Lately, I have been defining it as: "I only like bad meat, like burgers, bacon, hotdogs, etc., so why should I eat meat at all if I'm trying to be healthier." That is why I have been trying to cut down on meat. I don't like touching raw meat, so why should I put it in my mouth. It doesn't make sense!
    So about a year and a half ago, I lost like 4% bodyfat, by eating less meat and being more aware of the nutrients I was putting in my body. What makes it difficult for me to completely stop, is that I play professional basketball, which means my body and its performance is what I get paid for. That is why it is difficult to radically change how I fuel my body, but I am trying to anyways.
    This spring/summer, I will try to do that, since I have some time off of basketball. That makes now the perfect time to try and change my habits.

4. Take Shorter Showers

    Now this will be a challenge. I love a good, long, hot shower, where I perform a couple of songs to my imaginary fans. Honestly, who doesn't? But it is so wasteful. There have been times I've done so good with this, but then I have a moment of weakness where I am dead tired and just stand in the shower for like 20-30 minutes. 
    So this will be the fourth thing I am working on right now, trying to take shorter showers. And again I think right now is a great time to get this habit in my system.

5. Be More Consistent

    With trying to change any habits you have, consistency is critical. I have good days and bad days with my habits, but this will not get me to be the person I want to be, because I am not consistent. For a habit to stick, you have to do it regularly. For example, have you ever tried to change your diet? The first two weeks are pretty much the hardest part. Most people don't get past the first weeks without breaking the "rules" at least once. Well, if you do get past those weeks, its honestly not that hard anymore and it's becoming a habit.
    The same goes for any other habit. And that is why my fifth thing I am working on at the moment is being more consistent. Hopefully, making some of these habits permanent.

These are the 5 things I am working on right now. I hope you got some motivation or ideas for your own journeys.

Have an awesome day, and stay safe!

My 3 "Must Check Out" Sustainabilty YouTube Channels/Blogs




This blog post will be a little different from the ones I have published so far. Since a lot of people are going to be sitting at their houses because of the pandemic, I think the timing of this post is perfect. I wanted to share with you the YouTube channels and blogs that initially inspired me to try and limit my waste and make better decisions for the planet. Here are the 3 channels/blogs that got me going in the right direction.

1. Trash Is For Tossers

    Lauren Singer, the woman who started this blog, was the person to introduce me to the whole concept of zero waste living. I saw an article about a girl who has stored her past 2 year's waste in one Mason jar. That would catch anyone's eye, I'd assume. She has some beneficial tricks for those who are just starting out and also for the advanced zero wasters. Lauren Singer also founded Package Free Shop, which is an excellent way to get your zero waste and ethical supplies, cosmetics, etc.
    You can find her on YouTube, her blog, and also check out her shop.

2. Shelbizleee

    Shelbi is one of the more outspoken Youtubers on the subject, and that is precisely why I like her a lot. She has this no bullsh*t attitude, and her videos are very informative and helpful. What you should definitely check out is her anti-haul series, where she talks about things she has decided to stop doing or purchasing, and why. 
    Here are her YouTube channel and blog. Check them out!

3. Sustainably Vegan

    Immy, who runs this channel, has the most calming voice in the world!! She has a ton of videos on zero waste essentials and what she uses (toiletries and such). Another super helpful channel, but also so inspiring. What is also great about the sustainability community on Youtube are the collaboration videos, which Shelbi and Immy did last year. Why that was so great was because the two of them are pretty much polar opposite as people.
    Here is the link to her YouTube channel.

    Go check out these awesome women, get inspired, and let's make the planet healthier together! There are tons of channels out there that I probably don't even know about, so if you know, any leave them in the comments or send them to me on Instagram. I am always ready to expand and watch new stuff by new people.

Stay safe, and have a beautiful day!

5 Best Tips for Low-Impact Living In College



    I graduated from college in May 2019. That is where I started my zero waste/low-impact journey. I saw a lot I didn't like but also learned so much about how to be better. This is my attempt to help you guys live a low-impact life in college. Here are the 6 best tips for low-impact living in college.

1. Go Paperless

    First, let's go into the classroom and see what there is to fix in there. Paper, paper, paper. It is not uncommon for students (including myself) to print out ALL the materials for each class in that semester. That often means students have over a hundred printed out pages they later throw out and sometimes don't even really use. 
    My advice is that if the material is accessible online, and you have a working computer, a tablet, or even a phone, it's a waste of your time and room in your bag to print them out, not even talking about the environment, which it also strains. 
    There are so many amazing apps (free or paid) to use for editing PDFs. If you have a tablet or a 2-in-1 computer, invest in a good stylus, and take notes on there. I had a 2-in-1 HP laptop and used Xodo for all my PDF note-taking. There are better apps around, but for me, it did the thing and was fairly easy to use.
    Overall, in 2020 it isn't hard to be paperless, so why not do it. Also, convince your friends to use less paper. The Earth will thank you!

2. Get Your Reusables

    One of the most frustrating things that I encountered in college was people buying blocks of water instead of using the water fountains all around campus, most of which also had a bottle refill station. Get yourself a reusable water bottle or just use a bottle you have and refill it multiple times. This is such an easy fix, and college students drink a lot of water.
    The second frustrating thing in this category is coffee drinking. I have nothing against it, I drank a ton of coffee in college and felt like it helped me focus. However, many people go to Starbucks and get it to go in a single-use cup. Most coffee shops accept reusable coffee cups, but Starbucks literally has its own products, so it has been made quite easy.
    On the other hand, I definitely saw a ton of people have their reusable bottles/coffee cups, and that made me happy. I think the trend is on the rise.
    Lastly, I know that right now (March 2020) is not the best time to talk about reusables, as places like Starbucks aren't accepting reusable coffee cups, because of the pandemic. I have also heard of water fountains being shut off, which makes sense. At this time, people's health and wellbeing come first. Let's beat this pandemic's butt, and then refocus on the reusables. Some tips, for now, though: 1. make your coffee at home in your reusable cup and then take it to go, 2. use a water filter at home to fill up your bottle(s) before leaving the house, and 3. if you must buy something in single-use packaging, please dispose of it properly.

3. Shop Second-Hand + Donate

    Now, this topic makes me sad. Every year after the school year is over, you can see hundreds of pieces of dorm room decorations, furniture, etc. just next to the trash cans. Those items were probably only used for one school year, and instead of using it for another, selling them, or donating them, they're just thrown out, and to the landfill, they go.
    My first tip for people, who are already in college and want some new cool stuff for their rooms, go and check out the piles of things people leave next to the trash. In my 4 years, I found a shelving system, a mattress, some decorations, a lamp, etc. Obviously, make sure to really clean them and wipe them off, but the things I found were in such good shape once I had cleaned them, they looked brand new.
    If you want new stuff for the room, buy things that are going to last you more than one year. Also, if possible check out second-hand stores and online communities, you might find stuff for much less money, and you are extending the item's life. Another thing to consider is to ask your older siblings, cousins, or friends to give you their stuff.
    After you are done with college or just want to get rid of an item, donate it! I went to college in the United States, but I am from Estonia. So when the time came for me to pack up and leave, I had so much stuff I needed to get rid of. The first thing I did was offer it to my friends, who were staying there for another year. Then I took my stuff to a store, where they picked out things they liked and gave me money for the items. I think I got almost $200 from that. The rest that was left over, I donated. That way, nothing went to waste, and hopefully, others are getting good use out of my once beloved items.

4. Learn How to Manage Your Waste Properly

    I believe this is the most challenging one out of all of these. Managing waste, in general, is a confusing subject. Now add in the fact that each county, state, city, or even college has its own rules about recycling, composting, etc. and sometimes you are left in a spot where you're not exactly sure what you should do.
    In my 4 years there, I never figured out a way to compost my food waste, which I did not have a ton of. I mostly used the on-campus food options and didn't cook a lot. Here are some ideas for composting in college. If you live on campus, my advice is to ask. Ask the RD of your dorm, ask the cafeteria, just get information about your options when it comes to composting. If you live off-campus, you are like a regular person and can follow my tips for composting in my blog post about the 5 "R's" of zero waste.
    Recycling isn't hard most of the time. In the dorms, I lived in we had a recycling bin with a picture of what is okay to throw in there. If recycling isn't an option on your campus, you should really consider emailing the right people in your university to complain. Maybe even collect signatures, because that should be a thing on every campus, especially today.

5. Prefer Eating In to Take Out

    I think everyone who has graduated or is in college right now can agree that this will be challenging. I can't tell you how many times after going out we would come back and order 3 pizzas, or how many times I was hungry and lazy and decided to order some food for dinner. It has never been easier to get food delivered to your door with apps like UberEats, Doordash, Postmates, etc.
    Getting take out or delivery is so wasteful. Think back to a time you decided to order Chinese, for example, how many napkins, little duck sauce packages, and forks were in there. My guess is like 10 sauce packets and enough napkins to stop a flash flood. I don't know anyone who has ever used that sauce, I think they're literally made to be thrown away. 
    Another thing is just the packaging. Most of the time, it is either in plastic containers that are hard to recycle or styrofoam, which is not an easy recycle AND is harmful to your health. So if at all possible choose to eat in rather than take out.

    I hope these tips will help you start your low-impact journey in college. As always, if you have any questions or recommendations, leave a comment or DM me on Instagram @earthykadri.

Have a beautiful day, and stay safe out there! 
PS Wash your hands!!!

MONTHLY FEATURE | Ecosia





    This is the first of many monthly features you are going to see on my blog. It is a series I am starting, where every month I pick out a company, an item, a person, or just a habit to highlight and talk about. This month the feature is going to be about an online search engine, Ecosia, and why I have been using it for more than 2 years now.

    How often do you search for stuff on the Internet using Google or any other search engine? What if I told you there is a search engine out there, where you, typing in a keyword and pressing enter will help them plant trees. Yes, Ecosia makes it THAT simple. Before I get any further, I wanted to mention that this post is NOT sponsored by them. This is me genuinely loving this tool and hoping you will consider switching over as well.

    A couple of years ago, when I had just learned about the zero waste movement, I found a video by one of my favorite Youtubers, Shelbizleee, where she talked about 7 ways to reduce climate change. And one of the things she spoke about was that if I hadn't already, I should really consider switching over to Ecosia. So, naturally, I did as I was told and haven't looked back since.

   I can imagine you guys have some questions, and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability, so let's get into it.

What exactly is Ecosia?
    Ecosia is a search engine like any other, it looks and works like Google, but with every search, you are helping them make money to fund planting trees in countries and areas that need it the most. Ecosia was founded in 2009 and quickly gained attention for the exciting concept. In 10 years, they have been able to plant more than 60 million trees, a number that has increased by 26 million within the past year. When I first heard of Ecosia, I thought it is too good to be true and that it must be a scam. I then did my research, and they are very transparent with everything they do and seem like an ethical company genuinely invested in the future of our planet.

How does it work?
    I have gotten this question about the search engine from everyone I have told about it. And I get it, where do they get all this money to be able to pay people, plant trees, and just stay in business for that long. The short answer is - the ads. Basically, when you type in a search keyword and press enter, you will see the results, like in any other search engine. Well, as you know, in every search engine, the first couple of results are always sponsored advertisements. That means the company that owns the search engine gets money to present those ads in the search, and usually even more money if a person clicks on it and actually buys something, for example. Ecosia takes the profit and uses it to plant trees. And I 100% trust them because they release their monthly financial reports for transparency. For example, in January 2020, Ecosia earned over 2 million euros, out of which half was invested in tree planting. The other half of the income went to spreading the word, operational costs, other longer environmental investments (they just opened their own solar plant to power the searches). So, for that money, they were able to plant more than 1.3 million trees, all because millions of people used their engine to search the web. They have estimated that enough money is earned every 45 searches to plant a tree. There is a cute search counter so you could know how many trees you have helped plant. As an example, I have done more than 4000 searches, which means I alone have helped plant close to a hundred trees just by surfing the web.

Does the actual search even work well?
    My answer to this question is that for the purposes I'm using it, I haven't noticed issues. But, when I was in college and was doing actual research to write papers and other schoolwork, I would usually use Google. However, I can undoubtedly say that it is an awesome search engine, that can keep up with Google in everyday surfing.

But I don't want to type Ecosia.org in just to be able to search for something...
    That's not an issue! You can install a browser extension on your browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari). That way, if you type a word in, it will automatically search using Ecosia and not Google or any other engine. They also have an app for your phone.

How do I get started?
    I am going to link the step-by-step installation process in a little bit, but first, I advise you to go and check out what Ecosia says about themselves on the website. I believe in listening to others, but I still think everyone should do their own research to really be sure of their decisions.
    Now that you've read about them, watched some videos perhaps, it's time to install the browser extension. Click on the browser name you are interested in installing Ecosia on to see the instructions:


    I hope I was able to convince you to make this tiny change that will go a long way for the planet. If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask me, or go to Ecosia.org and check out the Frequently Asked Questions, which are super helpful. 

    Bye for now, and happy searching!
