Offsetting Carbon One Search at a Time

How is Green Linking offsetting carbon?

Green Linking was created to remind us all of the need to take small steps in our everyday lives to reduce carbon emissions. Green Linking searches are powered by Google Custom Search.

Green Linking is Australia's first search engine facility utilising Google Technology to help people become carbon neutral (even carbon reducing), simply by everyday searching on the internet.

Green Linking converts 10% of revenue (not profits, so more is going to carbon offsetting) into the purchasing of carbon credits. Green Linking purchases the carbon credits from Carbon Planet.
Carbon credits certify the removal of greenhouse gas from the air or the prevention of future greenhouse gas emissions. Each carbon credit is associated with a single tonne of carbon dioxide. There are many different kinds of carbon credits. Source: Carbon Planet

Carbon Planet Pty Ltd is an Australian company that conducts carbon emissions audits and retails carbon credits to individuals and organisations that wish to eliminate their carbon dioxide emissions to reduce global warming.

We believe that there is value in the concept because the majority of internet searches use Google anyway, so why not use a portal that will generate carbon credits. Secondly we feel that seeing Green Linking every time we load our web browser reminds us that we need to keep taking small steps to reduce our own carbon emissions.
How can you help?

We encourage you to set Green Linking as your home page.

This way every time you load your Internet browser you will be able to search and help generate carbon credits right away. Remember every hit counts! You will also be reminded about the need to reduce emissions each time you see the Green Linking page load.

Help us spread the word about Green Linking by telling your friends and family to set it as their home page.

Green Linking - Carbon Offset while Searching

[Corey]

Searching on the internet is energy intensive vs siting on the porch watching the birds or going for walks or spending quality time with family that does not involve travel to see them.. um where are the birds?

I do have to admit that having a local place on the internet where I can find all the relevant info is greatly helpful in that it saves time and energy trying to track it down on my own.

Just wish there was a group that acted as the go between for all the different sources that brought competitors together in one location so us consumers can compare without having to hunt down the hidden info we need to make wise choices.

Carbon offset is a scam in that your paying someone to undo the damage you did with a strong chance that they won't be able to successfully remove the Greenhouse gas. There is absolutely no equal to not doing the damage to begin with. We need to focus on consuming less or making the internet less time consuming to find relevant info.

this link is simply pay the dollar and your forgiven for committing the crime that you already committed. You already burned the coal, you can't put it back in our time frame.
