Everyone who is on the internet uses search engines to find the information that they need. The massive amount of search engine users

makes it a natural vessel for businesses and individuals who want to promote their website through advertisements.

Over the past few years, several social-minded search engines have taken to donating a share of their ad revenues to various charitable organizations. This has resulted in various search engines targeted at different charities and geographic locations (including Care2's very own search engine).

Using a charity search engine helps other people in need and is a great way for people to send some money out by doing what they already do everyday. In addition, some of these search engines (such as Ripple) use Google Custom Search, and therefore give nearly identical results as google (meaning they are just as efficient). So, sign this petition if from now on, you intend to use a charity search engine as your primary or default search engine.
