and this looks like a good spot for a plug for forestle  :)

  How it works

Forestle is a *"green Internet search engine"*. We use our advertising
revenue to protect endangered rainforest regions in order to keep our
worlds most precious ecosystems intact and fight global warming.

Forestle earns advertising revenue from clicks on *"sponsored links"*,
which are displayed next to the normal search results in our search
engine. These sponsored links are delivered by our partner *Google*.

*Note:* Only click on sponsored links if you are really interested in
them. You harm Forestle, Google and the advertising companies with
artificial clicking.

<http://www.nature.org/> *All of our income* at www.Forestle.org (minus
administrative costs) is donated to our partner The Nature Conservancy
<http://www.nature.org/>. The Nature Conservancy uses this money in
their adopt an acre program
<http://www.nature.org/joinanddonate/adoptanacre/> in order to sustain
the rainforests.


  Forestle in numbers

It costs around $200(US) to buy one acre (4,047 m? or 4,840 yd?) of rain
forest. On average Forestle earns around 0.5 US cent per search.

Thus you can save about 0.1 square meter (0.11 yd?) of rainforest with
*every search *at Forestle. This area roughly equals the surface of your
*computer screen*.

An average Internet user does about 1,000 searches annually. This means
you can save more than *100 square meters (109 yd?) of rainforest every
year* by using Forestle!


  Forestle can make a difference

The more people use our search engine the more rainforest area we can
save. See what Forestle users can achieve *every year* just by searching
the Internet:
