More Trees in Africa

Wouldn’t you love to know that while you’re monetizing your website with Infolinks, you also donate for a good cause? Infolinks continues its efforts to make our world greener by planting trees together with MyGoodPage.com. After the successful projects in Brazil, MyGoodPage.com managed to expand donations and to plant hundreds of trees in Malawi, Africa.

Malawi is a landlocked country in southeastern Africa. Trees in Malawi are being cut down at an alarming rate. Wood has always been treated as a free resource, and vast areas of woodland have been cleared carelessly without any replanting for future generations. The Malawi expedition planted hundreds of trees in Nkhata Bay District, an area of 4,000 sq.km.

Megan Canning, from the Ripple Africa organization, has recently sent thanks for the donation: “Thank you very much for your donation towards RIPPLE Africa to help us plant trees in Malawi. In Malawi, an area of forest the size of a football pitch is cut down every ten minutes. Through conservation and tree-planting, we are helping to protect and restore the local environment, making it a better place for the people and wildlife which live there. Thank you for supporting this cause!”

The expedition was initiated by MyGoodPage.com, an innovative non-profit organization which uses the internet as a hub for charity purposes. MyGoodPage.com encourages visitors to set their custom Google search page as their homepage in order to donate all search revenues to various causes, such as planting trees in areas that have been devastated by deforestation.

Infolinks has been promoting MyGoodPage.com since its founding and this recent Africa expedition makes us closer to our ultimate goal of planting over 100,000 trees worldwide by the end of 2010.
