One More For Chrome! One Million For Charity!

You would of thought the Google Chrome community cared so much! Okay, sure the actual users didn't didn't donate money, but Google did!

So what exactly did the Google Chrome community do? They "donated" tabs to their choice of, trees, persons' water, shelter, vaccinations, or books! Sure tabs are just virtual and not any real currency (although that would be cool), they were used to allocate (or divide) money for the causes.

So what it boils down to is;
  • $245,278 toward planting trees in the Atlantic Forest, one of the world's endangered tropical forests,
  • $232,791 toward providing clean water, by building freshwater wells for communities in developing nations,
  • $112,078 toward building shelter, to be constructed by volunteers for impoverished families in Latin America,
  • $267,336 toward administering vaccinations against meningitis to combat outbreaks in Africa, and
  • $142,518 toward publishing books by local writers and illustrators, which will be created and donated to schools and libraries across Asia and Africa.
All from Google, and it's Chrome community! 1+ Google!
