Green Search: Planting Real Trees by Using Google

Ecological Search – Plant a Tree with a Click

Most of us use Google every day. Many times. Most of us are also aware of Global Warming. In fact, our own usage of computers – and even using Google – contributes a little to the climate deterioration. But there is an alternative search option that gives back to Earth.

MyGoodPage.com is a Google-based search engine that utilizes revenues from advertisers to Do Good, as they call it, and right now, it’s focused on planting trees. From the user’s point of view, the website looks very much like Google, and since it’s powered by Google, the search results are the same as Google. In other words, it also works like Google.

What’s the difference? As with Google search, the results include some sponsored results from advertisers who are charged per click. In the case of regular search with Google, all advertising revenues are going directly to Google. When using MyGoodPage.com, Google generously shares a part of the advertising revenues with MyGoodPage.com and these funds are directed towards planting trees and doing good in general.

MyGoodPage.com – Watch the Video

This video was taken by The Civis Mundi organization, which carried out the first planting expedition financed by MyGoodPage.com. As you can see, not only that they planted real beautiful trees, this expedition also involved educational activity to local children in South Brazil, who learn to appreciate nature and become young ambassadors for forest preservation.
