I recently started using an internet search engine that saves 2m² (2.4yd²) of rainforest with each web search I do. (instead of filling Google investers wallets…)Their search results are as good as Google or Yahoo, and it’s free.An average internet user can protect about 2,000 square metres of rainforest every year by using Ecosia – this is about the size of an ice hockey field. If only 1% of global internet users accessed Ecosia for their web searches, we could save a rainforest area as big as Switzerland each year.”The Ecosia search engine is based on technology from Yahoo and Bing, which will provide the search results and sponsored links for the site. But unlike conventional search engines, the company has pledged to donate at least 80% of the income it generates from sponsored links to WWF rainforest protection projects in Brazil’s Amazonas region….
