What's stopping you from using Ecosia? Your searches could plant trees!
Ecosia is a search engine that aggregates search results from multiple other search engines. The ad revenue from our searches funds the planting of trees worldwide. With over 200 million trees planted so far, Ecosia have learned to be fully transparent about their projects, and financials which are available right on that website. Set it as your default search engine, and start planting trees. They also recently released a Chromium based browser if that's your thing - TechCrunch article for reference.

What's stopping me? The fact that they need me to generate ad revenue to fund those trees, and I'd rather not be advertised to.
Fair enough. I was using Google + uBlock Origin. I tolerate the ads now on Ecosia and I actually click them when it's what I was searching for.
