GoodSearch: A Charitable Internet Search Alternative
If your internet habits are anything like mine, then you perform several internet searches every day. A great way of getting more out of your searching is to use GoodSearch (www.goodsearch.com), a charitable alternative powered by Yahoo! Search.
Unlike conventional internet search engines, GoodSearch donates half of its revenue to the nonprofit organization of your choice. This amounts to a donation of about a penny per search but, as you can imagine, the pennies add up after a while. For instance, searches on GoodSearch have raised over $1,900 for the NRDC (National Resources Defense Council).
You can add a GoodSearch bar to your browser if you use Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. Part of the beauty of GoodSearch is that, beyond choosing an organization to help and adding the bar to your browser, using GoodSearch requires no extra effort on your part.
And just think of all of the environmental organizations that you can help. The National Audubon Society, Earthwatch Institute, the Rainforest Action Network … or a small, local nonprofit on your choice. My searches help Riverkeeper (Tarrytown, NY), New York’s Clean Water Advocate. Who will you search for?

This search engine sounds like it has good intentions, but a penny donation per search is quite minuscule. It’s going to take a lot of searches to add up to anything significant.
So cool to see this mentioned here. Goodsearch is all I use.
