“Searching” For Ways to Save Wildlife
by Sandy Dean
 You probably search the internet
every day. Do you use Google or Yahoo or AOL? These search engines
are owned by corporations that rake in billions of dollars every year from
internet advertising. It’s a huge money-making business, and highly
profitable….for them.
A Better
Use for the Money
Wouldn’t it be nice if some of these dollars could be
funneled to charities and non-profit organizations? That’s precisely what
Ken and JJ Ramberg had in mind when they founded “Good Search”, an internet
search engine that passes a portion of the advertising dollars to a charity of
your choice.
“It’s a simple way for
our supporters to donate money to the DFW Wildlife Coalition, and it doesn’t
cost them a cent!” says Prudi Martin-Koeninger, president of the organization.
Still skeptical about a “new” search engine? You
needn’t be. Good Search is actually powered by Yahoo! behind the scenes,
so you can expect the same good search results. There’s
really no “catch” to this. Read what CNN
Money had to say about Good Search.
How You Can Help
You can help the DFW Wildlife Coalition raise funds for
wildlife by using Good Search and by selecting us as your charity of
choice. To get started, click on the
Good Search icon below. Once you are there, bookmark the page for easy
access in the future. There are also instructions for downloading and installing the Good Search toolbar. Remember to use
it!
Every time you use Good Search to
search the internet, you are donating money that will help save wildlife every
day!
