You are encouraged to use the Green Search Engines.

    
      Green Search Engines? Have yo heard this type of new search engines? Let me introduce to you, what is Green Search Engines. Green Search Engine is a type of search engine that reuse usage of electricity for each search make by users. It was a smart idea from somebody else to save the earth. You are allowed to do charity every single day. Switch and use the Green Search Engine now. There are so many Green Search Engines. 


     Blackle.com is an example of Green Search Engine. It takes everyone's favourite search engine, Google.com and turns off the lights. By using a black background, Blackle.com saves energy since monitors require more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen. How much energy is saved? Blackle.com references a blog post that claims that a black Google.com would save 750 Megawatt-hours per year. Blackle.com is a popular Green Search Engine.
     
     Beside Blackle.com, there are also anothers Green Search Engine which called Ecosia.org. Ecosia.org  is a green search engine which donates at least 80% of its advertising revenue to a rainforest protection program run by the WWF. Each search at Ecosia.org contributes to the protection of the rainforests. 


     Eco-Find.com is another green search engine using black background same with the blackle.com. This green search engine is very convenience, why I said so? It is because it also search via Google.com and search in difference categories. Are you willing to try this green search engine? 
     
     Earthle.com, "Save Energy, Save The Earth" is their slogan. Also, they search through Google.com. Someone said, "because apparently, we can't have enough darkness engines", Earthle.com also conserves energy.


     Gigablast.com serving close to ten millions query per day, mostly through other websites. Gigablast.com is the leading clean-energy search engine. 90% of its power usage comes from wind energy. Gigablast.com also makes it easy to perform users query on the coal-based search engine by clicking links below the search results. So, you are encouraged much to try this green search engine. Even though, this green search engine not using the black background but it use wind energy. For you information, It was a natural resources.


     Gooef.com was created by Max from Keetsa.com to make life easier for finding Eco-Friendly and Green related stuff on the web. Gooef.com brings you only the best of Eco-Friendly and Green searches on the web, powered by Google custom search. As normal green search engine, their background is of course black in colour. It will conserve energy per time users use this sites. 


     In the other hand, GreenMaven.com is a search engine designed to specifically search the "green web." Hence, it actually is not a green search engine. They focus on helping us to find the best green, conscious, and sustainable web sites. There is also a GreenMaven.com plugin to make those searches even easier. Actually, Ecosia.org has this feature too.



     Here is an image (gif) to show several green search engines. Just have a look and try to use them. 

 Here is a slideshow to introduce the popular Green Search Engines.

    I believe that most of you are using Google.com as your default search engine. Unless, the other common search engines such as Yahoo.com or Bing.com. Our earth was sick, save our Earth by just doing this simply action. Start to use the Green Search Engines now, most of them are searching through Google.com too. The different between just the colour of background which is black in colour.
