Trees not profits: we're giving up our right to ever sell Ecosia (2018)

And so I find it important to renew my commitment to my two promises by turning Ecosia into a so-called “steward-owned company”. Tim, I cannot overstate how grateful I am that you agree to turn Ecosia into a non-profit company, effectively waiving your right to get any of your investment back.
