Google has “turned the lights out” on its homepage today (29th March) as a gesture
to raise awareness of a worldwide energy conservation effort called Earth Hour.

The super-search engine also states that it welcomes future ideas on how it can 
become more socially and environmentally responsible requesting proposals be sent
to:

Whilst not a fundraising programme, having Google promote a cause/initiative in 
such a monumental way would be bound to boost a causes donor-base so I’m sure they’ll
be inundated with requests for support.
