Save the planet while searching the internet!

Check out the following search engine: http://uk.forestle.org/
Almost all the money Forestle gets from sponsored links goes to a fund to save the rainforest. To find out more about how it works: http://forestle.org/_lang/en/how_it_works.php

I have tried a few keywords and it seems to work like google. Even the results look the same. I think it's quite an interesting idea to use a search engine to generate money for rainforest projects...

Archives in Köln

I don't know if this shocking incident has appeared on English news: The building of the city archives of Köln / Cologne has collapsed yesterday with probably most of the 18 kilometers of material that has been stored there destroyed. They assume that the cause for the collapse was the construction of an underground line which takes place nearby.

You can read an English article about it on Spiegel international:
