Please Use Chrome for a Cause

Chrome for a Cause is an extension created by Google that counts the number of tabs you open. They will make donations to one of five charities – your choice – based on this information.
I’m not sure how they figured these numbers out, but here is a breakdown on what opening your tabs could do for some of these organizations.
10 tabs = 1 tree planted
10 tabs = 1 book published and donated
25 tabs = 1 vaccination treatment provided
100 tabs = 1 square foot of shelter built
200 tabs = 1 person’s clean water for a year
The total contribution made by Google will be one million dollars. With your tabs, you’re basically helping to decide where the money will go. So for some holiday season goodwill, go ahead and install the extension. If anything, it will be interesting to see how many tabs I actually open.
Chrome for a Cause is running until December 19. So you’ll need to get the extension right now if you want to contribute. It takes five seconds to install, so why not do it?
