Carbon Neutral Search Engine

Well here is a first that I have seen in the environmental online world, a green or rather a Carbon Neutral Search Engine. I thought that it was a good idea. What I understand is that the site utilizes Google search engine and is in fact no different. However, according to the site, the amount of energy used on each individual computer generated from search queries equates to about one gram of carbon dioxide.

So the premise of the website is that any revenue generated from Google queries on their 'Carbon Neutral Search Engine' will go to purchase carbon offsets. The website has openly chosen to use ClimateCare.org, a UK based company that allows people from all over the world to purchase carbon offsets and puts the money towards funding sustainable energy projects. The idea is a great one and should be remembered by all those self proclaimed tree huggers out there. I for one declare that I will bookmark and use this site more often to do my part.

As for other environmental bloggers out there, if you write about the website and let them know you've done so, they will enhance your listing in there search engine. It could result in more traffic to your environmental website if you have one. Besides that, make sure you check it out the next time you have a search, it goes to a great cause and will provide an extra boost to battling this thing we called climate change.
