Click4Carbon.com, “the environmentally conscious search engine”, has launched using
Google’s technology. It will share its profits with The [Plant-a-tree-today Foundation](http://www.plant-a-tree-today.org)
which funds worldwide forestation projects.

Click4Carbon.com claims to be “the only environmentally friendly search engine to
use Google’s technology”. It also offers an online community and forum which promotes
environmental awareness and practical advice on how individuals can reduce their
carbon footprint.

John Russell, co-founder and director of Click4Carbon with his wife Claire, explained
why they created the service. “The principle behind Click4Carbon is to offer users
one simple means of reducing their footprint through an everyday activity that they
already do”, he said. “We are not trying to reinvent the wheel – Google is by far
the most popular search engine in the world – all that we want to do is provide 
users with that same experience but with a different goal in mind”.
