The Green Search Engine
In Australia, a company has just launched last Monday a new kind of search engine. This search engine is known to be the very first green search engine that the world has ever known. It’s name is Ecocho. At present, the search engine offers visitors and users from 14 different countries the capacity to help offset the carbon emissions that our environment already has.
According to the search engine, they are going to sponsor to plant two trees for every thousand searches that are made on the search engine. The search engine uses technologies used by two of the more popular search engines - Yahoo! and Google.
Tim MacDonald is the founder of Ecocho and he said, “From that we’ve organized with the Global Carbon Exchange, a broker of government accredited carbon credits, to essentially retire carbon credits. The credits get taken out of service and that money goes towards tree growing projects that the (NSW) government runs.”

Good to know, but my homepage is set to Green Maven (www.greenmaven.com) - a USA based Green Search Engine. They’ve been at it for a while. Great resources!
