Greenseng is not just a search engine. It describes itself in which it is different from any other ordinary search engine, but a search engine that goes green. Perhaps you’ll ask, “Do we really need a green search engine?” To promote a green lifestyle while we conducting search on the Web from a green point of view, we do really need a green search engine.

In fact, Greenseng was powered by CO2Stats, a company that helps in making Web sites green. CO2Stats was owned by Enernetics, Inc. and Enernetics was a company that co-founded by Alex Wissner-Gross and Timothy M. Sullivan in October 2007, a Y Combinator-funded technology firm. Its strongest appeal for the users is that it is a green certified site since it is powered by CO2Stats, and while users using Greenseng in searching on the Web, it will helps them to offset the carbon emissions through CO2Stats.

When you’re conducting search on Greenseng, the search results are powered by Google search, and at the bottom of every page, there’s a small and tiny Green Certified Site logo that will list the total CO2 emissions of your search.

Although Greenseng is only covered the Web search at this moment, I’m glad to see that it is a good solution for Internet users for minimizing the global warming effect when searching on the Web. As a result, when using it more and more, we’re ensure that we’ll live in a more greener lifestyle.
