10 Search Engines To Help The Environment

Did you know that you could save environment without even donating or contributing to some organization?Well it is easy!Check out these 10 search engines.All that is needed is a few minutes of your time on the internet to carry out searches using these environmentally friendly and 'carbon neutral' search engines and the ad revenue that is generated from the search goes to some conservation efforts!If millions of us could use the search engines,then millions of dollars in ad revenues generated would be used to fund conservation efforts around the world.This is the easiest ,cheapest way that i have seen!

I have tried making my first search using Ecocho where for every 1000 searches you carry out,Ecocho sponsors five trees!But it seems the website is down a bit but it is a very simple way to sponsor tens of trees to be planted in your name without paying a dime!Another wonderful green search engine is Znout(zero negative output) .Znout is 'a CO2 neutral Internet search engine that turns your web searches into green web search engine.It measures 'not only the energy consumption of their own servers, but also the CO2 emission of the whole network infrastructure that is being used.And at the end of each month ,' renewable energy certificates (similar to carbon credits) are being bought in order to balance out the environmental footprint caused by Znout. This makes your searches become eco-friendly'.

Or you can try Forestle,where for every search that you make,you save 0.1 square metres of rainforest!Forestle uses all its advertising revenue to 'protect endangered rainforest regions in order to keep our worlds most precious ecosystems intact and fight global warming'. An average Internet user does about 1,000 searches annually. This means that you can save more than 100 square meters (109 yd²) of rainforest every year simply by using Forestle. And the best is that it is absolutely free!

Those are just three of the search engines that caught my eye but there are seven more with very unique ideas!So i guess you can just go through them and choose one that suits your conservation ideas!Have a greener day!

"Great... i have used google as my browser starting page for 10 years now, but that is history! In comes the forestle.org!!

I find it hard to estimate how many searches I do per day, probably around 50-100. One thing is that to be used as a starting page, the site has to be lean, extremely fast loading and naturally the search functionality has to be perfect. So far www.forestle.org has delivered, but i will trial it for few days before the final decision.... Please let me know about your experiences with the other ones?"

"@jonkkle I will put my bets on Znout.Have you tried it out?Forestle is great but i was very very saddened when i did not find my country Kenya in the listing ,but i will use it too!Where else do you get to save rainforests just by clicking!"

"@ochanji I need to do more testing to really see how they behave to make up my mind. Big difference between the two is that znout is based on the google search engine while forestle is based on yahoo's. Even though Google naturally is more widely used I personally respect yahoo's search result's as they are better quality."

"I have been using the Forestle one all day and it is great! Just as good as google, if not faster!
Thanks for the recommendation! Do you know much about the programme or could you give me the link to the company so I can find out who is running it and how they are managing to plant there trees? I am very interested in this initiative."

"@Amy Hello Amy,the company is based in Germany.It was linked to Google for some time but Google ended the partnership ,accusing Forestle of providing users with an incentive to click ads!
The company does not actually plant trees but instead donates 90% of its profits to Nature Conservancy(http://www.nature.org/) which does the actual planting of trees.Forestle just generates the revenues through adverts on its search engines.

You can check them out and contact them using the following:

Address: Berliner Chaussee 50
