Yahoo! 4

Yahoo! is going carbon neutral, and the founders seem to have a pretty sensible take on the issue. Also, they have an Earth Day site, FWIW.

    Good newsYahoo! seems to understand that carbon credits are not necessarily trustworthy and will never be the whole answer.  If they do this thing in the right way, it will be a good thing for the carbon credit industry and environmentalists as a whole.
    They just got a new customer.  I am changing my search engine from google right now.

    Google's working on it tooThey're just being alot quieter about their environmental initiatives.  Not sure why; I agree that it's odd.

    Green GoogleGoogle invested in solar a couple years ago already, and I think they were working to power their servers with solar.  They also gave some employees free bikes recently.  Just Google it.  ;)
    Tech companies probably tend to be more forward looking, because they aren't afraid to use new technology to solve big problems.  Plus they have quite a lot of money, so it really can be significant if they can work on environmental issues and invest in R and D for things like solar.

    Yahoo follows PicsearchCongratulations to Yahoo for trying to be carbon free. Yahoo might be the world's second carbon free search engine if they succeed in doing what they are planning. The world's first search engine is Picsearch who launched its environmental program a month ago. You can read more about Picsearchs carbon free search here: http://www.picsearch.com/menu.cgi?pl=en&item=PR_20070 ...
    Best Regards
