Do you know yet Blackle? That was the side that wanted to save a black page background current. This works well, but unfortunately in a very small degree. Much more interesting is the project, which I received yesterday by e-mail. The good Gorsi of sysprofile surprised me with the following email:

Hello,

I found something interesting, maybe it interests you and you write about it: www.ecosia.org
It's worth it!

Best regards

Look has really paid off in this case. In Ecosia is in fact a search engine that actively protects the rain forest. Now one or the other will naturally ask: Uh, yes, and how? Simply Ecosia cooperates with Yahoo! and Bing, and thus provides the same results so as the two search providers. The special but the sponsored links that are found between the search results. If you click it, gets Ecosia money. 80% of the proceeds will be donated to the WWF, it protects the rain forest. The remaining 20% ​​is probably on it for server costs, which are powered by green electricity, and thus environmentally friendly. According to the statistics already total 800,000 m² were protected rain forest. This makes about 2 m² per search!

In addition, interesting data Ecosia for foxes: All user data is stored up for 48 hours and then discarded. So overall a good thing!

Finally, a short video about Ecosia:
