Forestle: A specialized Google search that donates all proceeds to The Nature Conservancy.

Google has, for a long time, allowed people to make specialized search pages that generate revenue using their Google Search for Adsense. Here’s a unique green site out of Germany that makes use of the plugin and promises to donate all revenues, minus operating costs which they claim are less than 5%, to The Nature Conservancy.

Forestle: “Forestle is an independent nonprofit website. All of our income (minus administrative costs) goes to our partner organization The Nature Conservancy, which will use this money in their “adopt an acre” program for sustainable protection of the rainforests.”

Kind of reminiscent of the Black Google page which claimed to save energy because it didn’t have to charge photons in your monitor to make them glow white but died when LCD monitors that don’t use photonguns came into popularity.

Update: Google has kicked Forestle out of the adsense program citing a violation of the terms of use in which Forestle reportedly “provides incentives to click links”. Oh well, so much for saving the rain forests.
