Envirosearch.org Uses Bing Search, Ad Revenue Supports Environmental Projects

BETHESDA, Md., March 2, 2011 – Carbonfund.org is proud to announce today's launch of Envirosearch.org, a free online search service that enables anyone to help protect the environment simply through their everyday web searches. Envirosearch.org, which is powered by Bing and generates revenue from Yahoo! ads, supports international conservation projects like reforestation efforts and wildlife preservation.

Envirosearch.org is a groundbreaking collaboration of environmental organizations addressing conservation on both a global and local level. Through the combined efforts of Carbonfund.org, Environmental Defense Fund, National Wildlife Federation, and Environmental Media Association, the site will support meaningful conservation initiatives. Envirosearch.org will initially support tree-planting programs in Haiti, India and the United States, along with the important programs of its conservation partners.

"Envirosearch.org proves once again that protecting our environment and doing the things we enjoy and need to do can go hand in hand," said Eric Carlson, president of Carbonfund.org. "If there is just one simple thing everyone can do today to help our environment, making the switch to Envirosearch.org is it."  

Deforestation is a critical global issue, accounting for about twenty percent of greenhouse gas emissions globally as well as the destruction of habitats, soil erosion, loss of economic opportunities, and degradation of water quality. Envirosearch.org supports global reforestation efforts and will also sponsor clean energy and other important environmental programs.

Envirosearch.org is powered by Bing with sponsored ads through Yahoo!, which means it provides the same great results as the Microsoft-based search engine and offers ads relevant to the search. Envirosearch.org is a free service to the user.
