Good Searching

We use internet search engines every day, right? So why not search with a purpose?

When you use the "GoodSearch" search engine you can choose a charity that will benefit every time you search for something. One cent is donated to your charity of choice for every search you do. This doesn't sound like a lot, but the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals -- my chosen charity) has earned more than $14,000 over the last three years from searches alone. You can stick with one charity all the time or alternate between different causes as much as you want.

In the country's current troubled economic state, it may be hard to find a few extra dollars to donate yourself. But that doesn't mean we can just stop caring. Using this search engine is a free way to benefit charities in need. Plus, it makes you feel good to know that your internet activity can actually count for something!

Go to
http://www.goodsearch.com/ and bookmark it or save it as your homepage. The search results are not much different than a Google search. Also, if you know of a charity that is not currently participating, you can send them a link to sign up. It doesn't cost anything!

(HINT: When I need to go to a website and I already know the web address, I go to GoodSearch and search for the website anyway -- it's just one extra step and it gets more searches in.)

KNOW that you can make a difference and attempt to do so!
